Last Tuesday morning, December 14, Mike Paulenoff alerted MPTrader members to a bullish technical setup in UBER.
Mike wrote about the stock, which pre-market had traded down to 34.88 tp a 13-month new low before 10% to 38.45 on headlines from a UBS Internet Conference:
"My NEAR and INTERMEDIATE TERM pattern and momentum work argue that today's Bear Trap is a VERY significant low (34.88), and ends the most recent corrective down move from the 10/08/21 recovery rally high at 48.88, AND also has the right setup to consider the larger correction from the 2/11/21 high at 64.05 complete as well. In a perfect world, a pullback to or below 36.50 is the Buy Window, with protective stops placed beneath today's pre-market low at 34.88. A climb above nearest resistance at 39.40 to 40.20 will trigger powerful confirmation signals that UBER has established a meaningful corrective low and is in the grasp of a sustainable recovery rally that will point to 47-48 initially."
The very next day, UBER pulled back from 38.45 to 36.24 prior to launching into a powerful new advance that continued into this past Friday's close at 39.77, just off the high for the week at 40.00. That was nearly 9% above Mike's pullback Buy Window discussed in his Coverage List posting on the prior Tuesday morning.

"My near and intermediate-term setup work is 'warning' me that finally, VALE has the right look of a pattern and momentum configuration that indicates it has put in a significant corrective low at 11.16 (11/16/21) in the aftermath of a 70% correction off of its 5/10/21 high at 23.68.

Notwithstanding the fact that Wood IS 'talking her book,' she is nevertheless extremely compelling and is all about 'innovation figuring out the future,' which she says in 5 years will look nothing like the present.
Back on November 11, after Walt Disney Company (DIS) reported earnings the previous evening, Mike Paulenoff cautioned MPTraders about more downside for the stock:
"DIS disappointed in a big way, sending prices reeling beneath the lower boundary of its 7-month sideways trading range at 167-168, into the 164 area so far, with my optimal next lower target zone from 158 to 151, within which I will be looking for signs of downside exhaustion (last is 164.92/99)...
