UVXY +25% Gain - Market Analysis for Jan 16th, 2015

January 16, 2015 • 5:04 PM EST
Mike exited part of his ProShares Ultra VIX Short-Term Futures (UVXY) on Friday, taking profits on a +25% gain.
He noted in his chart mid-week that "the Oct-Jan rounded base formation is mature, with the UVXY stalled right at the Dec high in the 33.00."
Nonetheless, he added: "Whether or not UVXY has to digest or deeply correct the gains from the most recent pivot low at 23.56 (Jan 8) remains to be seen, but it will take a decline beneath 23.56 to wreck the potentially extremely bullish chart set-up."

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.
Top Call: NVDADuring the afternoon trading session of August 23, 2023, prior to the release of NVDA's (Nvidia Corp.) highly anticipated quarterly earnings report, we alerted our MPTrader members to our near-term forecast for NVDA, derived from my technical setup work heading into earnings.
A week ago Friday, August 10, with SPY (SPDR SP 500 ETF) trading at 446.05, Mike Paulenoff posted a chart commentary to MPTrader members indicating that his technical setup work on SPY was at a critical pattern inflection point.Mike wrote:"Based on today's action, I have come to the conclusion that the "orthodox low" of the decline from the 7/27 high (459.55)... ended at Tuesday's (8/08) low (445.27), and that an intervening counter-trend rally ended at today's (8/10) high (451.
This past Tuesday morning, August 8, Mike Paulenoff responded to a concerned statement from one of our MPTrader members about the TLT (20+ Year T-bond ETF) possibly having turned up in a significant way, especially if weak China data and an "off-sides" crowded hedge fund short position in bonds gets scared (and runs to cover its shorts).
