Anticipating The Upside Breakout In CRWD

Eight weeks ago, Mike Paulenoff discussed the budding technical setup and upside breakout in CRWD (CrowdStrike Holdings) with our MPTraders members, writing:
"CRWD has followed the bullish scenario we discussed in late August, and in fact, today (10/06/23) has thrust above 5 months of resistance to new recovery high territory at 176.32. Although my next optimal upside target zone is 190-200, the BIG picture setup points to 230-240 thereafter... Last is 174.86..."
Fast-forward to this past Wednesday, November 29, hours after CRWD reported its Q4, 2023 earnings, when Mike followed up to MPTrader members:
"For anyone who participated in CRWD into last evening's Earnings Report, congrats! This is what we discussed about the technical setup on November 1st, my prior update in the stock: Late yesterday, fellow member Plato inquired about my updated technical view of CRWD... Bottom Line: As long as any forthcoming weakness is contained above the up-sloping 50 DMA, now at 169.31, the dominant uptrend pattern off of the January 2023 major corrective low at 92.26 will remain intact, as will the series of higher-highs into the 10/19/23 high at 191.99. My pattern work argues for upside continuation that takes out 191.99 toward a challenge of the next higher consequential resistance zone at 202 to 206... Last is 178.35... Fast-forward to today (11/29/23)-- a few hours after earnings-- unless CRWD weakens beneath key nearest support at 225-227, my pattern work points higher to 242-246 next... Last is 233.41..."
Mike's attached Daily Chart shows that the timing of his October "Heads Up" to MPTraders members occurred right at a powerful technical inflection point of upside acceleration that has generated a 36% price advance so far.
What's next for CRWD's price trajectory? Will the Cyber Security sector continue to gain upside momentum, or experience exhaustion?

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.
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.
