There are occasions when the worth motion of a inventory is price analyzing additional. This text is a follow-up to final week’s StockCharts Technical Rank (SCTR) Report decide, Palantir Applied sciences (PLTR). The inventory offered off considerably on Monday, and, within the weblog publish, I discussed that I’d purchase PLTR if the inventory worth pulled again and reversed. I used the 15-day exponential transferring common (EMA) as a help degree, however was keen to tighten it if mandatory.

It simply so occurred that PLTR offered off on Monday, after which I monitored the inventory carefully. Monday’s low reached the low of the earlier 5 buying and selling days and bounced from there (blue dashed horizontal line within the chart beneath). That degree aligns with the 10-day EMA. On the day by day chart, the final three candlestick bars have comparatively massive worth ranges. The final bar reveals extra shopping for stress. Is PLTR displaying indicators of transferring larger? To reply this query, that you must take a look at the symptoms.

FIGURE 1. DAILY CHART OF PALANTIR STOCK. After hitting a excessive on November 15, PLTR pulled again to the lows of the previous couple of buying and selling days (blue dashed line). This aligns with the 10-day exponential transferring common.Chart supply: StockCharts.com. For academic functions.

The SCTR rating stays at a excessive 99.5, indicating the inventory is technically sturdy. Let’s flip to the opposite circumstances for getting into an extended place in PLTR.

• Quantity. The entire buying and selling quantity is inadequate to persuade me the upward worth transfer shall be sustained.
• Momentum. The relative energy index (RSI) is weakening, though barely above 70.
• Overbought/oversold. The full stochastic oscillator stays in overbought territory, though the %Okay and %D strains have converged and are at related ranges.

On Tuesday, PLTR offered off in early buying and selling together with the remainder of the broader indexes. Nonetheless, as soon as issues began to show round, PLTR’s inventory worth rose, closing at $62.98. The value motion would not affirm a purchase as of Tuesday’s shut, though that would change tomorrow.

The Sport Plan

• If PLTR has upside momentum on Wednesday morning, with excessive quantity, a rising RSI, and the stochastic in overbought territory, I’ll enter an extended place. I might use the help of the 10-day EMA as a cease loss degree and exit the place if worth crosses beneath the EMA.
• If worth would not transfer a lot on Wednesday, I might wait patiently for the opportune entry level.
• If worth reveals draw back motion (i.e. PLTR closes beneath the 10-day EMA or horizontal dashed blue line, the RSI and stochastic flip decrease), I might hold PLTR in my ChartList however revisit it later. Provided that it’s an AI-related inventory that’s actively traded, it isn’t price dismissing the inventory.
