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.

More Top Calls From Mike
Back on June 17th, this is what we discussed about the TLT (20+ Year T-bond ETF)when it was trading at 112.53:
The TLT put in a big upside reversal day yesterday (6/16/22) from 107.80 to 111.72, closing RIGHT AT the High of 111.72, leaving behind a Bullish Engulfing Candle on my Daily Chart (not shown here). The last time TLT traded at 107.
On Friday June 17, Mike Paulenoff posted an alert to MPTrader members about an emerging setup in AMZN:
AMZN is one name that pops out at me that should benefit from an initial and sustained correction in traditional energy and transportation costs. AMZN needs to climb above and sustain 110 for my work to generate a more confident technical signal, otherwise, I cannot rule out another loop down that tests and breaks key May-June support at 101.26 to 101.
Last Wednesday, prior to the official FOMC rate hike of 75 bps, Mike Paulenoffwarned MPTrader members about the likelihood of additional weakness in the beleaguered home builders, writing about the ITB (iShares US Home Construction ETF):
In that, neither my pattern work nor my intermediate-term Momentum gauges offer much technical confidence that ITB will be able to carve out a meaningful corrective basing area in and around 53.
Back on May 13, amid a thrust in the price of Crude Oil from $95/bbl to $112/bbl, Mike Paulenoff alerted MPTrader members to an actionable technical setup in energy producer PSX (Phillips 66), writing:
My work has been extremely friendly since the beginning of May, looking for PSX to break out of its 11-month corrective accumulation pattern that will trigger a thrust towards a potential target zone of 110-115.
On Thursday May 19, in the midst of some serious weakness and carnage in the retail sector that had equity market-watchers doubting the resiliency of the almighty US consumer, Mike Paulenoff turned MPTrader members attention to PARA (Paramount Global), writing:
For the past 5 months, we could make the technical argument that PARA has carved out an accumulation-base formation that attracts buyers every time the stock dips beneath 29.00. We can also make the case that every time the stock climbs above 36.
