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."

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.
On July 29, 2025, this is what we discussed about TEVA (Teva Pharma), accompanied by my then-current 4-Hour Chart, just ahead of Earnings:My attached 4-Hour Chart setup argues that TEVA is poised for upside continuation of its April-May advance (12.47 to 18.67) EITHER right from current levels in reaction to a positive Earnings Report tomorrow morning, OR into a BTD bout of weakness into the 14.85-15.55 target support window.
On the morning of August 6th, I posted the chart below after seeing Fundstrat's Tom Lee discuss his CEO position in BMNR (BitMine Immersion Technologies), and the fact that BMNR was accumulating a large cache of Ethereum (ETH) that will serve as an ETH Treasury holding similar to the Bitcoin model used by Microstrategy's Michael Saylor. At the time, BNMR had climbed from 31.85 to 33.70, which piqued my attention technically:"BNMR ... once again is putting upward pressure on the 34.
