On October 6, Mike Paulenoff posted this alert about Devon Energy (DVN) to MPTrader members:
Based on the very powerful pattern carved out from the 2020 low at 6.93 to the June 2022 high at 79.40, all of the action during the past four months represents a bullish digestion period of the 19-month upmove that should resolve itself in a thrust into a new upleg that projects above 79.40 to 85.00+.
If the four-month digestion pattern has taken the form of a bullish Triangle, and based on the "typical behavior" of a Triangle ... DVN should stall and roll over beneath key next resistance at 73.50-75.27 and pull back... to satisfy the final traverse across the range ahead of an explosive upmove.
In Theory, such a scenario or a modified version of this bullish scenario is what I am expecting for DVN. However, if DVN continues higher and takes out resistance at 73.50-75.27, then it will be poised for upside continuation directly to new ATHs...
... The bottom line is that DVN is in the grasp of an extremely powerful intermediate-longer-term bull trend. Maybe waiting for a pullback... will turn out to be a perfect strategy, but doing so also risks missing the 20% upmove if DVN just keeps on climbing... Last is 72.42...
During the 11 trading days following Mike's post, DVN has closely followed his technical script, first pulling back to the October 10 low at 67.14 (-6.2%) and then embarking on a new upleg that climbed and closed above the dominant June-October upper Coil resistance boundary line last Friday (see chart).
DVN closed at 74.29 Friday, up 2.6% from Mike's alert, and based on its current technical setup, is poised for upside continuation to challenge and take out the June high at 79.40.
What is in store for DVN (and the larger Energy Sector) after last week's impressive upmove from 68.62 to 74.38 (+8.4%) and ahead of the company's release of Q3 earnings after the close on November 1?

Three hours before the July Fed 31, 2024 (FOMC) meeting, I posted the following chart commentary about my technical setup work on 10-year Treasury YIELD and its actionable longer-term Treasury bond ETF, the TLT (20+ Year T-bond, ETF):Heading toward Fed Time, 10-year YIELD and TLT (20+ Year T-bond ETF) certainly appear to be anticipating lower interest rate news or innuendos from the FOMC statement (guidance) and Jay Powell in his post-meeting press conference.
On August 15, with XLV (Healthcare SPDR, ETF) approaching Mike Paulenoff's target zone (noted in an April 18th post), Mike responded to an MPTrader member's question about whether it was "time to sell and find something with more potential?" Mike wrote: "My short answer: no, it is not yet time to sell (although I will never dissuade anyone from taking profits and from ringing the cash register). My pattern and momentum work argue that upside potential extends from 156 to 161.
On August 6th, when UBER was trading 62, this is what Mike Paulenoff discussed with MPTrader members about the stock's technical setup in the immediate aftermath of the company's quarterly earnings report:"UBER... produced stellar earnings, albeit a bit light on next quarter's bookings. The stock is up 5.9% in pre-market trading within a near-term setup that argues yesterday's spike low at 53.25 ended a 35% correction off of the March high at 82.14.
At 10:45 AM ET on Friday July 26, 2 hours 15 minutes after the release of important PCE (Personal Consumption Expenditure) inflation data, this is what Mike Paulenoff discussed with MPTrader members about SPY (SPDR SP500 ETF):"If I have a concern today it is the unfilled up-gap left behind from last eve's 4 PM ET close at 538.32 to the low of the AM session so far at 541.25.
On June 24, 2024, I posted the following chart-based commentary about PFE (Pfizer, Inc) to the MPTrader discussion room:PFE (Pfizer) has the right look of a setup that is on the verge of entering a central, bullish price thrust from within a December-June rounded bottom formation. Only a failure to push up through and close above the 200 DMA, now at 28.94, followed by a decline that breaks last week's low (6/14) at 26.87 will Neutralize my currently bullish bias... Last is 28.27...
