Government cloud authorizations as U.S. revenue surges post-earnings

Palantir reported standout fourth-quarter results, with revenue rising 70% year-over-year to $1.4 billion, and U.S. commercial revenue up 137%. The company received expanded authorization from the U.S. Defense Information Systems Agency for Palantir Federal Cloud Service Forward at Impact Level 5 and 6, increasing deployment options for government clients. Palantir also renewed a multi-year contract with Airbus to continue supporting the Skywise civil aviation platform.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, observes that PLTR remains under notable selling pressure across all major timeframes, with no immediate technical support above the current level. He cites weak momentum and persistent sell signals as confirmation of prevailing bearish sentiment, despite briefly oversold oscillators. Critical events like impressive revenue growth and contract wins have not reversed negative price action, highlighting market skepticism. Kharitonov warns that the current bounce lacks conviction, as all key weekly indicators remain in Sell territory and the bullish scenario appears unlikely. "Until trend indicators reverse or support emerges, I remain wary of further downside risk in PLTR."

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, remains constructive on Palantir despite near-term weakness. He underscores the strong 70% revenue surge and expansion in U.S. commercial business as signals of robust demand and future institutional adoption. Karapetjanc points to sustained government partnerships and product authorizations as building blocks for further growth. He believes these fundamental achievements lay the groundwork for a renewed uptrend once market sentiment shifts. "Given Palantir’s recent wins, I see the longer-term bullish structure as firmly intact and expect further growth opportunities ahead."

Parshwa Turakhiya, analyst, notes a conflicting but intriguing short-term setup on PLTR. He sees continued downward momentum but also sharp oversold signals that often attract opportunistic buyers for tactical rebounds. Turakhiya highlights the recent intraday volatility with prices rebounding toward session highs as evidence of active sentiment-driven swings. He maintains a scenario-based view, seeing a short-term bounce possible if pressure eases, but warns that the broader trend stays negative. "For nimble traders, today's bounce may offer a quick opportunity, but caution remains prudent until a real reversal is confirmed."

Diverging momentum and oversold signals as intraday recovery emerges

Momentum remains weak as MACD and ADX both generate sell signals on the daily timeframe, confirming downward pressure. Oversold signals are clear from the daily RSI (31.37), CCI, and the Bollinger Band Power, suggesting a short-term bounce is possible, though Stoch RSI is more neutral. Sellers still dominate, as shown by BBP, but today’s price has bounced $3.90 higher since the previous close after a small gap down on the open. Price now trades near the top of today’s range, reflecting moderate intraday volatility and a tone of strength toward session highs. There is a notable divergence between oversold oscillators and trending momentum indicators, pointing to a possible but unconfirmed pause in the recent downtrend.

Previously it was reported that Palantir Technologies Inc. is trading significantly below key moving averages, with technical indicators such as MACD, ADX, RSI, and CCI pointing to persistent bearish momentum and an almost oversold condition. The stock remains under strong seller pressure with dynamic resistance near $156.95 and is expected to trade sideways between $124.50 and $135.50 unless a breakout or breakdown occurs.
