On the Monday morning (10/09/24) after Hamas attacked Israel (10/07/24), Mike Paulenoff posted the following heads up for MPTrader members:
Another "Crisis Opportunity" could be developing in RTX (formerly Raytheon Technologies) after a prolonged correction finally exhibits signs of downside exhaustion, and because the various combatants around the globe need weapons systems and missiles, lots of missiles... Last is 72.62...
RTX established a multi-month corrective low at 68.56 on the Friday before the attack, down 35% from the 104.91 high on 4/19/23. RTX has not looked back since then.
Last Thursday, after 19 of Mike's updates and two positive earnings reports later, RTX hit a high of 103.89, up a whopping 43% above Mike's heads-up to MPTrader members in early October.
Although the prospect of a confrontation between Israel and Iran has cooled in the past week or so, rising geopolitical tensions from many potential flashpoints around the globe continue to represent demand for munitions and armaments from manufacturers such as RTX, especially replacement missiles for depleted systems such as the Iron Dome.
That said, however, can and will RTX be able to meet demand?
Mike's technical work recognizes the powerful October-April uptrend (see chart), but with RTX trading 48% above its 10/06/23 low, is the stock positioned for a correction ahead of upside continuation?

ARKK (ARK Innovation Fund, ETF)-- Back on August 20, 2025, this is what we discussed about ARKK:Fellow member Pawel has requested an update on Cathie Wood's fund, which in June thrust up and out of a 3-1/2 year base-accumulation period and pattern above 68.40/50 that subsequently climbed to my initial target in the vicinity of 80 (see my attached Daily Chart). Since the 7/21/25 high at 79.
On July 31, 2025, with SLV (Silver ETF) trading at 33.27, this is what we discussed about my technical setup:SLV-- On the subject of tariffs, copper, and silver, Trump extended the tariff deal with Mexico for 90 days, which included steel and copper, but NO MENTION of Silver (so far). Let's notice on my attached 4-Hour chart of SLV that the week-long nosedive from 35.91 to this AM's low at 33.
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.
