PLTR stock forecast
Palantir shares remain steady in the low $20s but have yet to break higher. But some positive signs may be evident. Cathie Wood's ARK Invest bought another one million shares on Wednesday, adding to earlier block purchases of PLTR. On Monday, Palantir announced it had been selected by the National Nuclear Security Administration for a five-year, $89.9 million contract. So another government contract to add to its growing list.
PLTR technical analysis
Technically, the stretched resistance to take out and resume a bullish trend is at $27.47, the mid-March high. Before that, the 21-day moving average resistance was tested at $23.83. The MACD has crossed over, giving a buy signal, and a move above recent highs near the 21-day resistance would be a nice confirmation.
The 9-day moving average is acting nicely as support and needs to continue doing so as a break is obviously short-term negative.
Given broader market bullishness, the Cathie Wood catalyst, and a new government client, a bullish trade with a tight stop just below the 9-day moving average could work for short-term traders.
Support at $21.18 really has to hold to keep any chance of bullishness.
