Early on October 15, when CVS Health Corporation (CVS) was trading at 85.92, Mike Paulenoff highlighted upside opportunity for MPTrader members, writing:
"For the past 5 months, CVS has gone pretty much nowhere after hitting a new 6 year high at 90.61 on 5/25/21. It is precisely because CVS has traversed a sideways price path since late May that makes my work interpret the CVS technical setup as extremely promising for a run above 90.61 towards 100, and possibly 108-110 in the upcoming weeks and months."
Mike again wrote positively about the stock on October 20, when it was trading at 86.45, commenting:
"If my intermediate-term technical work is telling us anything about CVS, it is saying, 'watch me rocket above 90 towards a 100+ target!' Only a failure to hurdle 87 followed by a decline beneath 82 will compromise the developing anticipated thrust to the upside."
CVS began climbing on October 26, taking out key resistance at its prior failed rally peak at 87.80, The stock continued to strengthen right into last week's earnings report on November 3, when the company beat the Street's estimates on earnings, revenues, and guidance, propelling the stock to 96.57, its highest price in over five years.
At that high, CVS was 12.4% above its price at Mike's initial alert.
What's next for CVS? The strength of the consumer and another round of Covid-19 (booster) shots tie into the strength of CVS, which according to Mike's technical setup work has unfinished business on the upside as it heads towards 100-102 next. But will there be a period of rest-digestion first?

One week ago, on Monday morning November 15, Mike Paulenoff posted the following alert for MPTrader members about HD (Home Depot):
"My attached Big Picture Daily Chart shows that all of the action off of the 10/27/21 ATH at 375.15 into last Fri's close at 372.63 exhibits the right look of a high-level bullish Pennant or Flag formation atop the upleg that started at the 10/10 low at 324.16.
Two months ago, on the afternoon of September 13, Mike Paulenoff brought to the attention of MPTrader members the intriguing and potentially opportunistic technical setup exhibited by the XOP -- the SPDR Oil and Gas Production and Exploration ETF.
On the morning of October 14, Mike Paulenoff posted the following time-sensitive comment about CHWY (Chewy Inc) to MPTader members:
"CHWY has the right look of a very mature correction from its ATH at 120 (2/16/21) to Monday's (10/12/21) low at 60.45, which represents a 50% haircut from the ATH. As of this moment, with CHWY trading at 62.72, my work does NOT yet have confirmation that THE LOW has been established.
In his September 30th chart analysis for MPTrader members, Mike Paulenoff wrote bullishly about AMD, noting:
"AMD has piqued my interest technically because all of the price action off of its ATH at 122.38 (8/04) into the September lows at 99.51 (9/20) and 99.81 (9/29) has the right look of a complete, or nearly-completed correction of the prior major advance off of the 5/13 low at 72.50. As long as the 99.
MRNA's August downside reversal from a new all-time high (ATH) at 498.60 (8/10/21) to 349.00 (8/16/21) was just the first shot over the bow of a larger-developing corrective pattern and period.
Thus warned Mike Paulenoff to our members on the afternoon of August 16th, when, with MRNA trading at 363.
