NVDA Has Arrived at Mike's Technical Inflection Point

On September 28, 2023, with NVDA trading at 429.31, I told MPTrader members that my work is warning me about a complex technical setup that argues for a prolonged corrective scenario prior to a resumption of dominant uptrend strength. I posted the following:
My near-term pattern and momentum work argue that since its 9/21/23 corrective low at 409.80 off of its spike to All-Time New Highs at 520 in reaction to earnings on 8/24/23, NVDA is in the grasp of a recovery rally effort that when exhausted, will roll over into another downleg within a larger, still incomplete correction off of the 520 high. For the time being, I am expecting NVDA to claw its way to 436-444 resistance, which is the first zone from where a downside reversal could emerge. If 444 is hurdled and sustained, however, then the counter-trend rally effort will point still higher, into the 460 to 480 target zone prior to my pattern expectation for a powerful downside reversal... Last is 429.31...
Fast-forward across multiple subsequent NVDA updates and discussions in the MPTrader chat room, we see on my attached 4-hour Candle Chart, that NVDA proceeded to follow my preferred recovery rally price path from his 9/28 update price of 429.31 to a 10/12 rally peak at 476.09-- near the top of my peak pivot zone of 460 to 480, from where NVDA turned down into a relentless decline that as we speak, is testing key June-September low-zone support from 396 to 410.
NVDA now finds itself at a consequential technical inflection plateau the resolution of which will determine the direction of the next 25% price move. What forthcoming clues will NVDA provide for me and our members that its directional bias is tilting in one direction or the other in the hours and days directly ahead?

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.
