HD Tops Our Targets

One week ago, on Monday morning November 15, Mike Paulenoff posted the following alert for MPTrader members about HD (Home Depot):
"My attached Big Picture Daily Chart shows that all of the action off of the 10/27/21 ATH at 375.15 into last Fri's close at 372.63 exhibits the right look of a high-level bullish Pennant or Flag formation atop the upleg that started at the 10/10 low at 324.16. Based on the pattern and momentum setup, HD is poised for upside continuation and acceleration to one of two likely higher Target Prices (TP on the attached chart) prior to my expectation for a bout of profit-taking and possibly a serious bout of corrective weakness... Last is 373-374."
The next day, in a very positive reaction to a stellar quarterly earnings report, HD did charge higher. Mike posted a follow-up analysis for our members:
"We see that HD indeed has thrust to the upside out of its Bull Flag formation to a new ATH at 387.76 so far, which has satisfied my first upside target zone of 380-383, and is poised for a run towards my higher target zone of 393-400... Only a sudden downside reversal and close below 381 will represent an initial warning signal that the current upleg could be exhausted... Last is 386.63."
By the end of last week, HD had climbed beyond Mike's second target of 393-400, to a new ATH at 410.10, up a whopping 9.7% from his initial alert. Mike's analysis of the chart setup heading into earnings provided our members with "technical directional bias" prior to a potentially significant catalyst. This is one of Mike's most important functions for MPTrader -- interpreting the technical and momentum setups ahead of consequential earnings reports.
What's next for Home Depot? Will the vertical assault continue in and beyond Black Friday, or will HD exhibit signs of exhaustion sooner rather than later this coming week? Join Mike and our members for constant discussion about HD as well as many other individual stocks, ETFs, macro indices, cryptocurrencies, commodities, and precious metals that he and our mptrader membership choose to discuss and technically evaluate throughout every trading day.

More Top Calls From Mike
Late on Friday, fellow MPTrader member MarkinQueens exclaimed: Mike's XOM (Exxon Mobil) chart from August is working! Last $117.26!Back on August 25th, this is what we discussed about Crude Oil and XOM:Just in case anyone is wondering what the chart of nearby Crude Oil is looking like as we approach the "official" end of summer.
On August 12, 2025, this was my response to an inquiry from an MPTrader member about intense weakness impacting SMR (NuScale Power Corp):SMR (NuScale Power)-- Fellow member Irv66 asked for an update on this modular nuclear reactor manufacturer that blasted-off from 11.08 in early April to 53.50 at the end of July (+382%), but has since been in the grasp of a major correction from 53.50 to 38.33 (-28.6%). My pattern work argues that SMR is nearing key support from 37.50 down to 33.
ARKK (ARK Innovation Fund, ETF)-- Back on August 20, 2025, this is what we discussed about ARKK:Fellow member Pawel has requested an update on Cathie Wood's fund, which in June thrust up and out of a 3-1/2 year base-accumulation period and pattern above 68.40/50 that subsequently climbed to my initial target in the vicinity of 80 (see my attached Daily Chart). Since the 7/21/25 high at 79.
On July 31, 2025, with SLV (Silver ETF) trading at 33.27, this is what we discussed about my technical setup:SLV-- On the subject of tariffs, copper, and silver, Trump extended the tariff deal with Mexico for 90 days, which included steel and copper, but NO MENTION of Silver (so far). Let's notice on my attached 4-Hour chart of SLV that the week-long nosedive from 35.91 to this AM's low at 33.
On February 18, 2025, this is what I posted on MPTrader about KWEB (Chinese Internet ETF) that alerted traders to a potentially explosive setup that should keep KWEB on our radar screens going forward :My attached Daily Chart shows that KWEB is attempting to emerge from a huge, three-year rounded base-accumulation setup that projects much higher prices as the price structure climbs the "recovery wall of worry" in the aftermath of the relentless bear phase from the February 2021 ATH at 104.
