A month ago Mike added Silver Wheaton Corp. (SLW) as a trade set-up, anticipating a basing pattern that, once concluded, would resolve into a thrust higher. The stock based and then consolidated from late-October into its December 17 stepped-up, secondary low at 18.69, which compelled Mike to add to the position with the expectation of upside continuation.
The stock proceeded to rise more than 7% since adding to the position (from 19.29 to around 20.80), putting the average of the two trades ahead by several percentage points.
Mike sees the stock having ended a corrective leg at the December 17 low of 18.69, with a first target of 24.00 on the new up-leg.

Back on June 26th, when nearby WTI Oil futures were circling $67/bbl, Mike Paulenoff issued a heads-up to MPTrader members about a potentially opportunistic technical setup developing in OXY (Occidental Petroleum), writing:"OXY pressed to a low at 55.58 this AM, which marginally violated the 5/11 low at 56.16, BUT held above the more technically significant March 2023 low at 55.51 prior to pivoting to the upside into positive territory, now trading at 57.47.
On Monday August 28, we posted a heads-up about FCX (Freeport-McMoRan) to our MPTrader members, writing: FCX (Copper, Gold, Oil) producer has the right technical look (and a positive momentum divergence at Friday's low) of a completed pullback (44.70 to 37.74) within its larger bullish multi-month Coil formation. Last Friday's (8/25/23) low at 37.74 represented a very healthy 15.6% correction off of the 7/31/23 rally peak at 44.70 and also amounted to an exact Fibonacci 62% retracement of the 5/24/23 to 7/31/23 advance from 33.06 to 44.70.
