Thesis and catalyst: Palantir’s Q3 print came in strong, with Benzinga highlighting a beat on revenue (to $1.18B), better EPS, and raised full‑year guidance, driven by robust U.S. commercial growth. That combination typically fuels multi‑session follow‑through as models move higher and momentum accounts re‑enter after any knee‑jerk selloffs. While broader tech sold off on valuation fears, the fundamental update remains unambiguously positive and focused on operating momentum rather than one‑off factors. In other words, the business is accelerating where it matters — high‑growth commercial — and management guided above prior expectations. Technicals and timing: Price at ~195 is resting above key moving averages: EMA(9) ~193.4, EMA(21) ~187.45, EMA(50) ~178.48. MACD is bullish (line 5.87 vs signal 4.53, positive histogram), and RSI at ~54 sits comfortably mid‑zone, leaving room for upside expansion without overbought pressure. The 10‑ and 20‑day SMAs are rising, underlining trend support. Today’s headlines include profit‑taking and AI-bubble chatter, but the stock’s posture remains technically constructive — a positive divergence versus the tone of the session. Our entry band at 188–196 respects intraday volatility and overlays the 21‑day EMA as dynamic support. The stop at 181 risks a reversion toward the mid‑180s if sellers gain control. Targets and horizon: We set a 6–10 day window (here, 8 days) consistent with an earnings beat and raised guidance — catalysts that often carry through a week or two as upgrades/estimate revisions hit. Our 216–227 target range represents roughly 10–16% above the top of our entry zone, with 207.5 (recent high) as the first checkpoint and 216+ as the post‑beat extension goal. The combination of positive operating momentum and intact technical trend makes a retest and breakout above recent highs achievable. Risks: Broader AI valuation pressure (as flagged in news flow) could cause volatility, while negative headlines around prominent investors’ puts can sap sentiment. However, those are trader‑driven dynamics rather than changes to the company’s Q3 trajectory. The stop is designed to contain downside if the market de‑risks AI across the board. Bottom line: A clear earnings beat, raised guidance, and accelerating U.S. commercial growth set up a tradable push to new highs once the initial profit‑taking phase runs its course. We position for a 10%+ move over the next 8 sessions with discipline around the 181 stop.
