Tracking CRM's Price Path

On Thursday of this past week, Mike Paulenoff alerted MPTrader members of a long set-up in CRM (salesforce.com), writing:
"After making yet another new multi-month corrective low at 212.98 last Friday, CRM has turned up and has climbed above initial resistance at 219.50-220.00, which triggered an initial 'long alert' in my work."
Mike added: "My work argues that CRM has turned up, and has triggered a preliminary buy signal. Only a sharp downside reversal that violates the Jan 15th intraday low at 212.98 will invalidate the signal."
Mike had been tracking CRM in the MPTrader Trading Room for the past 7 weeks, as it progressed towards completion of a major correction.
On Friday morning, he followed up, noting: "CRM is following my preferred technical price path, turning up from last Friday's low at 212.98 towards a challenge of 223-225, which if (when?) hurdled, will confirm the conclusion of the entire Sep-Jan correction (284.87 to 212.98), and the initiation of a potentially very powerful new upleg."
As it turned out, Goldman Sachs on Friday upgraded CRM to a "Buy," with a target orice of $315, and the stock reached an intraday high of 227.79 before closing at 225.77.
Is CRM poised for upside continuation after a completed multi-month correction?

On February 18, 2025, this is what I posted on MPTrader about KWEB (Chinese Internet ETF) that alerted traders to a potentially explosive setup that should keep KWEB on our radar screens going forward :My attached Daily Chart shows that KWEB is attempting to emerge from a huge, three-year rounded base-accumulation setup that projects much higher prices as the price structure climbs the "recovery wall of worry" in the aftermath of the relentless bear phase from the February 2021 ATH at 104.
On July 29, 2025, this is what we discussed about TEVA (Teva Pharma), accompanied by my then-current 4-Hour Chart, just ahead of Earnings:My attached 4-Hour Chart setup argues that TEVA is poised for upside continuation of its April-May advance (12.47 to 18.67) EITHER right from current levels in reaction to a positive Earnings Report tomorrow morning, OR into a BTD bout of weakness into the 14.85-15.55 target support window.
On the morning of August 6th, I posted the chart below after seeing Fundstrat's Tom Lee discuss his CEO position in BMNR (BitMine Immersion Technologies), and the fact that BMNR was accumulating a large cache of Ethereum (ETH) that will serve as an ETH Treasury holding similar to the Bitcoin model used by Microstrategy's Michael Saylor. At the time, BNMR had climbed from 31.85 to 33.70, which piqued my attention technically:"BNMR ... once again is putting upward pressure on the 34.
Nearly two months ago, I posted my technical setup on TMO (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.) to alert MPTrader members to a potentially significant upside reversal pattern. Here is my commentary from June 3, 2025:My attached Big Picture Daily Chart shows the major bear phase from the 9/10/24 ATH at 627.88 to last week's (5/23/25) low at 390.66 (-38%). Most interestingly, all of the price action from the 4/09/25 low at 409.
Every person on the planet is now aware that early on Saturday night, June 21st, 2025, the U.S. military attacked and severely damaged (destroyed?) Iran's nuclear sites and presumably their ability to produce nuclear materials needed to create a WMD.
