On August 5, hours before its after-market earnings report, Mike Paulenoff posted a bullish alert on AI-juggernaut PLTR, writing:
"Bottom Line Technically: As long as any forthcoming weakness on a closing basis remains above key support lodged between 19.60 and 21.50, PLTR has the right look of nearing the completion of the correction from its 7/08/24 high at 29.83, and the initiation of another advance that will extend the upside potential off of a two-year base-accumulation setup."
The stock, trading at 23.70 at the time, went on to rally over the next month. It was trading at 33.93 on September 10, when Mike posted this follow-up:
"If I was bullish on PLTR during its May-July upleg from 20 to 30, my intermediate-term set-up work is even more bullish now (its inclusion in the SP500 Index certainly helps !...) My attached Daily Chart exhibits a powerful upside breakout (8/12/24) from a massive 3-1/2 year base-accumulation period and pattern that has triggered a series of upside target windows at 36-38 (almost met at today's high of 35.20), 42-44, and 49-51. My pattern analysis indicates that downside risk along the road to the higher targets is concentrated initially at 31.50-32.50, but in the volatile September-October seasonal period, I cannot rule out a bout of pullback weakness into the vicinity of the sharply up-sloping 50 DMA, now pushing north of 29.00 ahead of my expectation of another powerful advance. In other words, weakness from 32.50 down to 29.00 is considered fertile territory for new buying."
Fast-forward to last week. PLTR closed at a new 3-1/2 year high of 37.20, a 57% increase from Mike's August 5th alert and nearly 10% above his September 10th update.
What's next for PLTR? Is the advance exhausted, and where might a bout of weakness find new buying interest? If not, where is Mike's next higher optimal Target Window where profit-taking is highly likely?

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.
