Getting a Jump On the SONO Rally

Back on Sep 16, Mike Paulenoff told MPTrader members that Sonos (SONO), the under-the-radar, work-at-home speaker company, had triggered initial buy signals.
Mike explained that the stock, which was trading at 14.35/36 at the time, had climbed above its up-turning 10 and 17 DMAs, in route to a challenge of the "flattish" 50 DMA, now at 14.75.
He wrote: "The recent low at 12.40 on 9/04 represents an exact 50% retracement of the major upleg from the March low at 6.58 to the July high at 17.83, and as such, the sharp upturn from 12.40 to 14.36 during the past week or so, is a technical signal that a correction within an otherwise bull phase is complete."
SONO went on to reach a high of 16.10 this past week, up 12% from Mike's Sep 16 alert, and on Wednesday Sep 30, Mike wrote:
"SONO has popped above its flattening 50 DMA (14.56) today, extending the rally off of the 9/04 corrective low at 12.40. The longer SONO remains above 14.56, the more likely it accelerates towards 17.00 next, in route to a full-fledged test of the 7/23 high at 17.83."
See the SONO chart below.
From a macro perspective, with Covid again rearing its ugly head in a very public way, directly impacting the Trump Administration, SONO could also benefit from another round of stay-at-home spending and "Covid stocks" generally attract another wave of investor interest.

On January 2, 2026, this is what I posted about CAVA (Cava Group Casual Mediterranean Cuisine) to MPTrader members:After CAVA's meteoric climb from 29.00 in October 2023 to an ATH at 172.65 in November 2024, the stock rolled over into a relentless decline that hit its low at 43.
On the morning of April 9, 2026, this is what I posted about SMR (NuScale Power Corp) to our Discussion Room for MPTrader members:SMR (Nuscale Power Corp)-- Three views of this beleaguered, former high-flying modular nuclear power producer that has been in the grasp of a relentless six-month, 84% bear phase:-- From the perspective of my 4-hour Chart, SMR has the right look of nearing the completion of the downleg that started at the Jan. 2026 recovery rally high of 22.
On the morning of April 7, 2026, this is what I posted for MPTrader members about my interpretation of the near-term technical setup exhibited by META:My preferred technical scenario for META argues that the stock established a significant near-term low at 520.00 on 3/27/26 that resides within an August 2025 to March 2026, incomplete larger corrective process.
Thirty minutes after the opening bell on November 24, 2025, I posted the following heads-up to MPTrader members about the technical setup in META:META has the right technical look of a significant U-Turn to the upside after completing a 27% August-November correction from 796.25 (8/15/25) to 580.32 (11/21/25)... To gain more powerful upside traction, META needs to climb and sustain above nearest-term resistance at 614.70 to 616.50, which if (when) taken out, will open a higher price pathway to the 670 area to challenge the down-sloping 200 DMA... Last is 609.27...
Last Friday morning, to calm frazzled nerves amid a 1% pre-market plunge that was threatening to complete a 100% give back of the prior week's 3.
