PLTR: A Dangerous Top Signal Appears!

Key Observations:

Daily Chart (Left)
Inflection Point: The price has fallen back, approaching an inflection point around $40.36 after failing to sustain momentum above the recent high at $45.00. This area could act as a short-term support, and any further weakness below it could signal a potential shift towards bearish control.
EMA Support: The daily chart shows the 21-day EMA as a potential dynamic support near the inflection point. There is still time for PLTRT to react, but for now, there is no bullish signal around.

Weekly Chart (Right)
Bearish Engulfing Pattern: A bearish engulfing candlestick pattern has formed near the all-time high around $45.00, signaling potential bearish reversal pressure at a major resistance level. This pattern often suggests that sellers have overwhelmed buyers, which could lead to further downside or at least a consolidation phase. According to Bulkowski's studies, a BE reverses the trend 79% of the time, so it is a quite powerful candlestick pattern, and we shouldn't ignore it (Encyclopedia of Candlestick Charts).
Long-Term Uptrend: Despite this bearish signal, PLTR has been in a strong uptrend on the weekly chart, supported by the 21-week EMA, which is currently below the price. Any correction from here might still be viewed as a pullback within a broader uptrend unless key support levels break down.

Conclusion:

PLTR's chart shows short-term bearish signals, particularly with the bearish engulfing pattern near the all-time high. Watch for support around $40.36 and the 21-day EMA as critical levels for short-term sentiment. The long-term uptrend remains intact, but this could be a phase of correction or consolidation. In order to avoid a bearish scenario, PLTR needs to react, above the $40, and break the $45, maintaning the price above this level on the wekly chart.
