This past Tuesday afternoon (11/24), in response to an MPTrader subscriber question about PayPal (PYPL), Mike Paulenoff wrote:
"My interpretation of the BIG picture set up is that PYPL ended a near-term correction from its 9/02 high at 212.46 into the 11/03 low at 174.81, where it also started a new upleg that remains in progress, and points to a target zone of 215-220."
The stock, which was trading at 205.17 at the time, charged out of the blocks the very next day, hitting Mike's projected zone as it thrust over 5% to a new all-time high at 216.07.
Mike posted a follow-up chart commentary indicating that "as long as any weakness is contained by near-term support at 208-209 optimally, and at 204-205 critically, PYPL will remain in a bullish technical setup within the upleg from the 11/03 pivot low."
PYPL subsequently pulled back during Friday's holiday-shortened session, closing the week at 211.39, up 3% from Mike's initial chart post and still maintaining its bullish near-term set up.
What will the near future have in store for PYPL?

More Top Calls From Mike
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.
Two months ago, on the afternoon of September 13, Mike Paulenoff brought to the attention of MPTrader members the intriguing and potentially opportunistic technical setup exhibited by the XOP -- the SPDR Oil and Gas Production and Exploration ETF.
Early on October 15, when CVS Health Corporation (CVS) was trading at 85.92, Mike Paulenoff highlighted upside opportunity for MPTrader members, writing:
"For the past 5 months, CVS has gone pretty much nowhere after hitting a new 6 year high at 90.61 on 5/25/21. It is precisely because CVS has traversed a sideways price path since late May that makes my work interpret the CVS technical setup as extremely promising for a run above 90.61 towards 100, and possibly 108-110 in the upcoming weeks and months.
On the morning of October 14, Mike Paulenoff posted the following time-sensitive comment about CHWY (Chewy Inc) to MPTader members:
"CHWY has the right look of a very mature correction from its ATH at 120 (2/16/21) to Monday's (10/12/21) low at 60.45, which represents a 50% haircut from the ATH. As of this moment, with CHWY trading at 62.72, my work does NOT yet have confirmation that THE LOW has been established.
In his September 30th chart analysis for MPTrader members, Mike Paulenoff wrote bullishly about AMD, noting:
"AMD has piqued my interest technically because all of the price action off of its ATH at 122.38 (8/04) into the September lows at 99.51 (9/20) and 99.81 (9/29) has the right look of a complete, or nearly-completed correction of the prior major advance off of the 5/13 low at 72.50. As long as the 99.
