MA has based above the 9 EMA for four sessions; above the 661.34 flat top there is nothing until 681.99, and the host expects a possible 20-point pop to new highs this week.

Mastercard has the same look as Visa, having shown strength for the past month to month and a half, and he expects that to continue a little longer.

He groups MA with V, saying both are going sideways with the same look and have been showing strength for the past month to a month and a half, and he leans toward that strength continuing a little longer.

Mastercard, the host's largest position, is up 3% and beating major indices, exemplifying the enduring business models he favors over bottleneck stocks.

He listed MA as one of the financial names moving strongly that day, but gave no forward price direction, target, or timing.

He views Mastercard as an exceptional business but says the shares are back near fair value, with only about 6% upside to a roughly 700 fair value; his conclusion is a hold rather than a clear bullish or bearish call.

Mastercard is the cleaner chart of the two payment names, having barely extended from its 601.77 breakout amid financial sector strength; he thinks it can push higher even this week.
