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?

On March 10, 2025, fifteen minutes before the closing bell and Oracle's forthcoming Earnings Report, below was the analysis I posted to the MPTrader Discussion Room about ORCL:"... My preferred scenario indicates a negative reaction to the news that sends ORCL reeling to test important support at 139.50-141.20-- where ORCL MUST reverse to the upside to avert triggering still lower projections into the 118-123 (back the truck up) target window... Last is 149.32"...
Last October 21, 2024, I 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 my 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.
On February 26, 2025, just 30 minutes before NVDA (Nvidia Corp) was scheduled to release its highly anticipated and potentially consequential Quarterly Earnings Report, I reiterated my most recent analysis uploaded before the opening bell. This is what I posted to the MPTrader Discussion Room:Technically, my Big Picture setup work on NVDA argues that the 2/03/25 low represented the END of a major correction that originated at NVDA's "orthodox" price high of 152.89 on 11/21/24-- the session following the company's November 20, 2024 Earnings report.
Before the market opening on February 4, 2025, hours after Palantir Technologies (PLTR) reported stellar Earnings, this is what I discussed with MPTrader members:In reaction to Earnings, PLTR has sustained strength above my "outlier" target zone of 96 to 100, which requires new upside pattern parameters. My optimal price path from atop the post-Earnings, 25% upmove points to an immediate objective of 105-08, followed by a contained pullback into the 95 area, ahead of a thrust toward 115-118 thereafter... Last is 103.50...
On January 6, 2025, this is what I discussed with MPTrader members about the Chinese equity names--Alibaba (BABA) in particular:BABA-- For anyone who wants an outlier contrarian play for the first two-quarters of the Trump Agenda, let's consider BABA. Purely from a technical perspective, I can make a compelling technical argument that the 12/20/24 low at 81.5 ended the larger correction off of the Oct 2024 upleg (from 71.80) high at 121.06. To confirm the low, any weakness must hold support at 81.50-83.
