On November 7, exactly eight weeks ago, Mike Paulenoff posted the following heads-up to MPTrader members concerning a potentially opportunistic technical setup in BA (Boeing).
Mike wrote: "The current vertical upmove is smacking into a major intermediate-term down trendline in the vicinity of 170-171 (see my attached Daily Chart) that likely will put a lid on it and argues for a pullback to 150 again, but if not, upside continuation points to 210-215 next as BA continues to have the right look of the completion of a massive post-Pandemic bottom formation. The Intermediate term setup is for investors able to ride around some sloppy action in BA if it is unable to climb above the dominant down trendline, to expect a pullback into the 150 support zone prior to another attempt to take out multi-year resistance... Last is 165.16."
As it turned out, within 4 trading days of Mike's commentary, BA thrust above its powerful 3+ year down trendline and key resistance zone (168-171), prompting this follow-up by Mike on Nov 13:
"BA (Boeing) has received the largest-ever order for planes from a US carrier (UAL)... which is just the type of fundamental news that puts "meat on the bone" of a potentially very powerful 21-month base accumulation pattern shown on my attached Daily Chart. As long as any forthcoming weakness in BA is contained above 172.20, the technical setup argues for upside continuation toward my next upside target zone of 215-220, in route to a challenge of major consequential resistance lodged from 255 to 280... last is 186.27."
BA went on to retest the upside breakout area (168-171) on November 17 prior to launching into a new powerful and persistent up-leg that has propelled BA to 213 as of Friday's (Jan 6) close.
From Mike's initial heads-up on November 7 at 165.16 to Friday's high at 213.03, BA climbed 29%.

This past Tuesday, September 26, two days prior to NKE (Nike) earnings, Mike Paulenoff posted one of his pre-earnings "Heads Up" to our members, writing:"Certainly, NKE is oversold enough within a relentless downtrend pattern off of its Feb. 2023 recovery high at 131.31, that a positive reaction to quarterly results reflecting anything other than a disaster coupled with dismal guidance, is likely to trigger an initial positive reaction into the 95 to 100 recovery resistance zone.
On Wednesday, September 7, during one of Mike Paulenoff's frequent intraday updates of the E-Mini SP 500 futures contract (symbol ES) to keep MPTrader members informed about dominant near and intermediate-term trend direction in the index and the SPY ETF, Mike posted an important warning:"ES from a BIG Picture perspective shows the weakness off of last Friday's (9/01) rally high at 4547.75 into this AM's low at 4434.75 (-2.5% of the 4.
Back on June 26th, when nearby WTI Oil futures were circling $67/bbl, Mike Paulenoff issued a heads-up to MPTrader members about a potentially opportunistic technical setup developing in OXY (Occidental Petroleum), writing:"OXY pressed to a low at 55.58 this AM, which marginally violated the 5/11 low at 56.16, BUT held above the more technically significant March 2023 low at 55.51 prior to pivoting to the upside into positive territory, now trading at 57.47.
On Monday August 28, we posted a heads-up about FCX (Freeport-McMoRan) to our MPTrader members, writing: FCX (Copper, Gold, Oil) producer has the right technical look (and a positive momentum divergence at Friday's low) of a completed pullback (44.70 to 37.74) within its larger bullish multi-month Coil formation. Last Friday's (8/25/23) low at 37.74 represented a very healthy 15.6% correction off of the 7/31/23 rally peak at 44.70 and also amounted to an exact Fibonacci 62% retracement of the 5/24/23 to 7/31/23 advance from 33.06 to 44.70.
