Mike Paulenoff called this past week's sell-off in AAPL ... and the market in general.
On Thursday Aug 18, with AAPL at 173.84, Mike told his MPTrader members: "I am in the 'camp' expecting the latter downside scenario, notwithstanding The Street's newfound love affair with the company."
The next day, he wrote: "AAPL is pressing on key initial support at 171.60/90, which if violated will point to 168-166 next [and] put downward pressure on SPX, SPY, ES."
He updated his downside target to 164.80-162.80 this past Monday, Aug 22, after AAPL broke key support, and by week's end AAPL closed at 163.62, but weakened further in after-market trading to 162.47.
MPTraders members expressed their appreciation for this and other of Mike's recent calls.
"That's some really, really great charting Mike. Fabulous work this week," wrote member FJB.
"Super charts Mike, singlehandedly kept me out of any deep trouble this week. Thank you!" added Mary.
Member ksim summed it up: "Not only kept me out of trouble for the last 6 weeks, but I have made enough money, playing both long and short, to keep my membership for the next 500+ years! Thank you very much for the great guidance."

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.
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.
