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?

Last Tuesday afternoon, hours before CAVA (Cava Group) was scheduled to report Earnings, this is what I posted for MPTrader members:CAVA reports Earnings after today's close. Approaching the news, CAVA is circling 61, a full 40% beneath its April 2026 high at 98.79, amid an unconfirmed new corrective low at 60.21 yesterday (8/10/26), leaving CAVA positioned for a "buy-the-news" setup (the opposite of a sell-the-news setup in a name that is up 30% to 40% approaching Earnings).
Good Sunday Afternoon, MPTraders! Last Thursday afternoon, ahead of AAPL's Earnings, this is what we discussed about the stock's probable price path in reaction to the news:Unless AAPL produces something extraordinary, or otherwise announces some unknown bullish catalyst, my pattern work has a very difficult time expecting anything other than a "best-case" sell-the-news scenario in reaction to Earnings. I can make a compelling argument that the upleg from the 6/26/26 low at 273.33 to the 7/29/26 ATH at 344.
XOM (Exxon Mobil)-- Back on May 19, 2026, a fellow MPTrader member requested an update on XOM. This is what we discussed at that time:My attached Daily Chart setup shows my preferred scenario calling for a near-term peak of the current upmove from the 4/17 low at 141.97 to a target zone from 162 to 165, followed by a rollover and press lower that revisits and possibly breaks the 41/7 low, which also will complete the larger corrective process from the 3/30/26 ATH at 176.41.
Pharma Update: MRK and LLYOn Wednesday (6/24/26), this is what we discussed about MRK:MRK as well, which we see on my attached Daily Chart exhbits a VERY BULLISH technical setup-- quite the opposite of beleaguered PFE. My pattern work argues that all of the price action from the 2/25/26 high at 125.14 represents a high-level bullish digestion period and pattern atop the major upleg from the May 2025 low at 73.31.
On January 2, 2026, this is what I posted about CAVA (Cava Group Casual Mediterranean Cuisine) to MPTrader members:After CAVA's meteoric climb from 29.00 in October 2023 to an ATH at 172.65 in November 2024, the stock rolled over into a relentless decline that hit its low at 43.
