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.

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...
