Projecting Higher Prices For ARKK
by Mike Paulenoff
July 31, 2022 • 1:50 AM EDT
Back on July 17, with ARKK trading at 44.22, Mike Paulenoff commented:
"ARKK (Cathie Wood ARK Innovation Fund) ... my attached 4 Hour Chart shows the price structure has carved out a May-July Rounded Bottom formation that is putting upward pressure on a key resistance zone from 46.70 to 48.12, and if hurdled, will trigger upside projections to 58-60..."
Since then ARKK in fact climbed to a new 7-week recovery high at 49.34 but failed to follow through on the upside to confirm a multi-month breakout largely because of sharply negative earnings reactions from two major fund components, COIN and ROKU.
Despite dumping her position in COIN and girding through a plunge in ROKU (adding to her position last Friday), Cathie Wood nonetheless remains steadfast in her belief that growth stocks (ARKK) will begin to outperform value stocks as the major indices exit a bear market.
Mike's technical work concurs. Although ARKK has suffered a couple of intense body blows lately (COIN and ROKU in particular), Mike points out that the price series of higher-lows and higher-highs since the May 12 major corrective low at 35.10 remains intact and the dominant influence on the stock. As long as any forthcoming weakness is contained above 42.00, the multi-month accumulation pattern projects higher prices for ARKK, into the 58-60 target zone in the weeks ahead. ARKK closed at 44.93 last Friday.

Three hours before the July Fed 31, 2024 (FOMC) meeting, I posted the following chart commentary about my technical setup work on 10-year Treasury YIELD and its actionable longer-term Treasury bond ETF, the TLT (20+ Year T-bond, ETF):Heading toward Fed Time, 10-year YIELD and TLT (20+ Year T-bond ETF) certainly appear to be anticipating lower interest rate news or innuendos from the FOMC statement (guidance) and Jay Powell in his post-meeting press conference.
On August 15, with XLV (Healthcare SPDR, ETF) approaching Mike Paulenoff's target zone (noted in an April 18th post), Mike responded to an MPTrader member's question about whether it was "time to sell and find something with more potential?" Mike wrote: "My short answer: no, it is not yet time to sell (although I will never dissuade anyone from taking profits and from ringing the cash register). My pattern and momentum work argue that upside potential extends from 156 to 161.
On August 6th, when UBER was trading 62, this is what Mike Paulenoff discussed with MPTrader members about the stock's technical setup in the immediate aftermath of the company's quarterly earnings report:"UBER... produced stellar earnings, albeit a bit light on next quarter's bookings. The stock is up 5.9% in pre-market trading within a near-term setup that argues yesterday's spike low at 53.25 ended a 35% correction off of the March high at 82.14.
At 10:45 AM ET on Friday July 26, 2 hours 15 minutes after the release of important PCE (Personal Consumption Expenditure) inflation data, this is what Mike Paulenoff discussed with MPTrader members about SPY (SPDR SP500 ETF):"If I have a concern today it is the unfilled up-gap left behind from last eve's 4 PM ET close at 538.32 to the low of the AM session so far at 541.25.
On June 24, 2024, I posted the following chart-based commentary about PFE (Pfizer, Inc) to the MPTrader discussion room:PFE (Pfizer) has the right look of a setup that is on the verge of entering a central, bullish price thrust from within a December-June rounded bottom formation. Only a failure to push up through and close above the 200 DMA, now at 28.94, followed by a decline that breaks last week's low (6/14) at 26.87 will Neutralize my currently bullish bias... Last is 28.27...
