Back on August 29, Mike Paulenoff alerted MPTrader members to his excitement about the potential for a powerful advance in Gilead Sciences (GILD), writing:
For two years, GILD has been traversing a wide (24%) range between 57-59 on the low side and 70-72 on the high side (see my attached Daily Chart). Every time GILD sinks into the vicinity of 60, it becomes relatively cheap within the range (57 stop) ahead of a traverse towards 70-72... If you are a VERY PATIENT investor who does not mind tying up money for an extended period of time, then you are risking a close under 56.50 to "be there" for the run to and above 69.00-70.00, and thereafter, towards a challenge of the upper boundary zone from 83 to 87, where GILD either will rocket into a new bull leg, or fail miserably.
My sense from the very BIG picture structural setup since 2010 is that since 2017 GILD has been biding time ahead of a forthcoming VERY BULLISH direction price catalyst (or catalysts) that will propel the stock out of its rangebound funk... Last is 62.56.
Fast-forward to last week in which indeed a catalyst unleashed GILD's bullish potential. It turned out to be a Q3 Earnings Report that far exceeded Wall Street's expectations, and as such, triggered an extremely positive investor reaction that propelled the stock above a 2-1/2 year resistance plateau from 72 to 74, toward Mikes intermediate-term target zone of 83 to 87.
GILD closed at 79.27 on Friday, a full 27% above its price when Mike first alerted MPTrader members on August 29.

Thirty minutes after the opening bell on November 24, 2025, I posted the following heads-up to MPTrader members about the technical setup in META:META has the right technical look of a significant U-Turn to the upside after completing a 27% August-November correction from 796.25 (8/15/25) to 580.32 (11/21/25)... To gain more powerful upside traction, META needs to climb and sustain above nearest-term resistance at 614.70 to 616.50, which if (when) taken out, will open a higher price pathway to the 670 area to challenge the down-sloping 200 DMA... Last is 609.27...
Last Friday morning, to calm frazzled nerves amid a 1% pre-market plunge that was threatening to complete a 100% give back of the prior week's 3.
Late on Friday, fellow MPTrader member MarkinQueens exclaimed: Mike's XOM (Exxon Mobil) chart from August is working! Last $117.26!Back on August 25th, this is what we discussed about Crude Oil and XOM:Just in case anyone is wondering what the chart of nearby Crude Oil is looking like as we approach the "official" end of summer.
On August 12, 2025, this was my response to an inquiry from an MPTrader member about intense weakness impacting SMR (NuScale Power Corp):SMR (NuScale Power)-- Fellow member Irv66 asked for an update on this modular nuclear reactor manufacturer that blasted-off from 11.08 in early April to 53.50 at the end of July (+382%), but has since been in the grasp of a major correction from 53.50 to 38.33 (-28.6%). My pattern work argues that SMR is nearing key support from 37.50 down to 33.
ARKK (ARK Innovation Fund, ETF)-- Back on August 20, 2025, this is what we discussed about ARKK:Fellow member Pawel has requested an update on Cathie Wood's fund, which in June thrust up and out of a 3-1/2 year base-accumulation period and pattern above 68.40/50 that subsequently climbed to my initial target in the vicinity of 80 (see my attached Daily Chart). Since the 7/21/25 high at 79.
