Projecting UBER's Upside Trajectory

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. If my work proves reasonably accurate, then any forthcoming UBER weakness will be contained above 56.50 ahead of upside continuation that challenges and chews-through key resistance lodged between 62.60 to 64.45."
The next day, on August 7, with UBER trading at 65.48, Mike added:
"At the time of my earlier update (8/05/24), UBER was trading at 62.00, up 16% from Monday's spike-low at 53.25, which prompted me to allow for a pullback to 56.50. Well, that certainly did not happen. UBER has continued to climb right into and now above key resistance between 62.60 and 65.45, which if sustained, will clear a price path to 68-70 next, in route to a challenge of March-August resistance line that cuts across the price axis in the vicinity of 73.50."
Fast-forward to this past Thursday, August 15th, when UBER hit a post-earnings high at 73.42, a full 18% above Mike's alert on August 6th. See Mike's analysis from that day. The stock pulled back on Friday to close the week at 71.20, or 12% above his initial alert. Mike's pattern, momentum, and price projection work proved extremely accurate for UBER's upside trajectory to the 73.50 resistance target zone.
What's next for UBER? Is forthcoming weakness a "Window of Opportunity" ahead of a run at its all-time high of 82.14 established on 3/08/24, or is the current vertical upmove part of a larger-developing corrective process?

Back on November 12, 2024, fellow MPTrader member "Rayray" wrote the following when ARCH (Archer Aviation) was trading at $4.83:Mike, as you may recall I have been an active follower of ACHR. I no longer have a position that I trade off of and am on the sidelines watching a move that I should have participated in . That said, is this the move to $9.00 that has been on the table for a while ?... My analysis: NO!...
On the morning of Tuesday, November 12, 2024, I posted the following Heads-Up to MPTrader members concerning my DIS (Disney) analysis ahead of earnings:DIS (Disney) reports earnings on Thursday morning. Technically, DIS approaches Earnings in strong near-term technical condition that argues for a positive reaction to earnings. As long as any forthcoming weakness is contained above 94.80, DIS points higher to 105.10/40, and if taken out, then to 113-115... Last is 100.25...
On September 20, 2024, fellow MPTrader member Bloom asked Mike Paulenoff to look at his chart setup in Upstart Holdings (UPST). This is what they discussed in Mike's post to our Discussion Room in its entirety:UPST (Upstart Holdings)... It is NO coincidence that when the Fed initiated its rate HIKE cycle in March 2022, it coincided with the steep, contractionary, prolonged bear phase in cloud-based AI lender UPST.
Each Earnings Season (one is in progress as we speak), I analyze my technical setups on individual stocks to see if they provide enough evidence to issue a "highly confident" directional call to MPtrader members. In other words, what is my chart work telling me about the likelihood of a bullish or bearish investor reaction to Earnings?Suppose I apply the same approach to Tuesday's presidential election.
Last Monday afternoon (October 21), Mike alerted MPTrader members to a Goldman Sachs upgrade of optical products retailer Warby Parker (WRBY) to Buy from Neutral. Goldman attached an 18.00 target price to the stock. At the time of Mike's post to members, WRBY was trading at 17.55 in reaction to the GS upgrade, up 6% from the prior close, and just 2.5% from Goldman's 12-month target price.
