Anticipating The Rally In Wheaton Precious Metals

On March 13, amid a broad discussion about the emerging bull phase developing in the precious metals and miners, Mike Paulenoff posted this about WPM (Wheaton Precious Metals) to our MPTrader discussion room:
From a more Silver-Gold perspective (if FCX is perceived to be Copper-centric), let's notice that WPM strength is pushing up against its near-term resistance line in the vicinity of 45.80, which if taken out and sustained, will point WPM toward a challenge of its 4-1/2 year resistance line that cuts across the price axis at 51.00... Last is 45.60...
Mike followed up with a note on the afternoon of April 3:
WPM (Wheaton Precious Metals) is knocking on the door of a near 4-year upside breakout zone from 51.00 to 52.80, which if (when) taken out, will project an intermediate-term target zone of 60-62. Any forthcoming weakness into the 48.60 to 47.00 support area should attract major buying interest-- if it gets back down there... Last is 50.43...
Last Thursday-Friday (April 11 and 12), WPM thrust above Mike's initial target of 51.00, hitting a 3-1/2 year high at 54.30, a full 19% above the initial heads-up at 45.60.
That said, however, WPM sold off 4.5% in sympathy with many risk-on assets late Friday ahead of a weekend fraught with greatly heightened geopolitical uncertainties, closing at 51.80.
What does Mike's work tell him about the technical setup in WPM as well as the precious metals complex going forward? Will the geopolitical risk-premium continue to be a factor supporting prices? What influence will a Fed reluctant to cut interest rates have on gold and silver? And what about the US Dollar's position vis-a-vis the precious metals?
Login this week to join Mike and MPTrader members for their discussions about the issues mentioned above and how the various scenarios might impact the precious metals and miners, and as earnings season kicks in again, the setups in individual stocks, S&P sector ETFs, macro indices, Treasury bond and Energy ETFs, as well as Bitcoin.
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.
Nearly two months ago, I posted my technical setup on TMO (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.) to alert MPTrader members to a potentially significant upside reversal pattern. Here is my commentary from June 3, 2025:My attached Big Picture Daily Chart shows the major bear phase from the 9/10/24 ATH at 627.88 to last week's (5/23/25) low at 390.66 (-38%). Most interestingly, all of the price action from the 4/09/25 low at 409.
Every person on the planet is now aware that early on Saturday night, June 21st, 2025, the U.S. military attacked and severely damaged (destroyed?) Iran's nuclear sites and presumably their ability to produce nuclear materials needed to create a WMD.
