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.

More Top Calls From Mike
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.
On July 31, 2025, with SLV (Silver ETF) trading at 33.27, this is what we discussed about my technical setup:SLV-- On the subject of tariffs, copper, and silver, Trump extended the tariff deal with Mexico for 90 days, which included steel and copper, but NO MENTION of Silver (so far). Let's notice on my attached 4-Hour chart of SLV that the week-long nosedive from 35.91 to this AM's low at 33.
On February 18, 2025, this is what I posted on MPTrader about KWEB (Chinese Internet ETF) that alerted traders to a potentially explosive setup that should keep KWEB on our radar screens going forward :My attached Daily Chart shows that KWEB is attempting to emerge from a huge, three-year rounded base-accumulation setup that projects much higher prices as the price structure climbs the "recovery wall of worry" in the aftermath of the relentless bear phase from the February 2021 ATH at 104.
On July 29, 2025, this is what we discussed about TEVA (Teva Pharma), accompanied by my then-current 4-Hour Chart, just ahead of Earnings:My attached 4-Hour Chart setup argues that TEVA is poised for upside continuation of its April-May advance (12.47 to 18.67) EITHER right from current levels in reaction to a positive Earnings Report tomorrow morning, OR into a BTD bout of weakness into the 14.85-15.55 target support window.
On the morning of August 6th, I posted the chart below after seeing Fundstrat's Tom Lee discuss his CEO position in BMNR (BitMine Immersion Technologies), and the fact that BMNR was accumulating a large cache of Ethereum (ETH) that will serve as an ETH Treasury holding similar to the Bitcoin model used by Microstrategy's Michael Saylor. At the time, BNMR had climbed from 31.85 to 33.70, which piqued my attention technically:"BNMR ... once again is putting upward pressure on the 34.
