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%.

On the afternoon of March 13, 2024, I posted the following heads-up to MPTrader members about important price action in WPM (Wheaton Precious Metals), my go-to ("favorite") name for Silver Mining within the larger Precious Metals Mining Complex:From a silver-gold perspective, let's notice that WPM strength is pushing up against its near-term resistance line in the vicinity of 45.80.
Over one month ago, on Monday morning, 9/09/24, I posted the following NVDA update for our members:My near-term pattern work makes a compelling argument that the corrective downleg from the 8/16 high at 131 is nearing downside exhaustion and completion in and around 100 (Friday's low was 100.95). That said, unless and until NVDA climbs above 106.30 to 108.
On August 27, 2024, I reviewed my near and intermediate-term technical setup on copper (gold, silver, oil) producer FCX (Freeport-McMoRan) for MPTrader members, writing:My attached Daily Chart shows the 30% correction from the May 2024 high to the August 2024 low, which my pattern work argues ended the retracement of the first upleg of a new bull phase in FCX that began at the 10/23/23 low of 33.08 and ended at the 5/20/24 high of 55.24. The August 2024 upmove from 39.08 (8/05/24) to 46.
On August 5, hours before its after-market earnings report, Mike Paulenoff posted a bullish alert on AI-juggernaut PLTR, writing:"Bottom Line Technically: As long as any forthcoming weakness on a closing basis remains above key support lodged between 19.60 and 21.50, PLTR has the right look of nearing the completion of the correction from its 7/08/24 high at 29.83, and the initiation of another advance that will extend the upside potential off of a two-year base-accumulation setup."The stock, trading at 23.
Three hours before the July Fed 31, 2024 (FOMC) meeting, I posted the following chart commentary about my technical setup work on 10-year Treasury YIELD and its actionable longer-term Treasury bond ETF, the TLT (20+ Year T-bond, ETF):Heading toward Fed Time, 10-year YIELD and TLT (20+ Year T-bond ETF) certainly appear to be anticipating lower interest rate news or innuendos from the FOMC statement (guidance) and Jay Powell in his post-meeting press conference.
