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 May 25, Mike Paulenoff alerted MPTrader members to a preliminary upside reversal signal in F (Ford). The stock at the time was trading at 12.40, up from its then multi-month corrective low at 12.07 established on May 20.
Mike instructed members that only a close below 11.00 would invalidate his preliminary bullish signal.
Back on July 5, Mike Paulenoff alerted MPTrader members to the bullish potential in MRNAs chart.
With the stock trading at 154.68, he showed the charts projection towards resistance at the March 22 high of 188.33, writing: Just maybe, the 6 month base-accumulation period and pattern carved out by MRNA during 2022 after a wicked corrective-bear phase is starting to make its presence felt technically.
Back on July 17, with ARKK trading at 44.22, Mike Paulenoff commented:
ARKK (Cathie Wood ARK Innovation Fund) ... my attached 4 Hour Chart shows the price structure has carved out a May-July Rounded Bottom formation that is putting upward pressure on a key resistance zone from 46.70 to 48.12, and if hurdled, will trigger upside projections to 58-60...
Since then ARKK in fact climbed to a new 7-week recovery high at 49.
