Defense partnerships and earnings growth fuel investor interest

Palantir reported strong fourth-quarter 2025 results, with revenue rising 70% year-over-year to $1.41 billion and adjusted net income increasing by 79%. Recent business activity includes a partnership with the U.S. Air Force and GE Aerospace to expand its defense AI portfolio, as well as a collaboration with Rackspace Technology focused on regulated AI deployments. Ongoing geopolitical tensions have increased interest in Palantir due to its government and defense contract exposure.

Mixed momentum as volatility rises near immediate resistance

Short-term technical indicators show PLTR above the MA-20 but still below the MA-50 and MA-200, highlighting near-term bullish momentum while medium- and longer-term signals remain bearish. The Ichimoku Kijun at $149.16 marks immediate resistance above, and daily momentum indicators are mostly negative: the MACD points to strong sell momentum while ADX signals a weak trend. Oscillators are mixed, with RSI near 43 denoting neutrality, and both Stochastic RSI and Bull/Bear Power deep in overbought territory — highlighting buyer strength, but also raising the risk of a reversal. The Awesome Oscillator is neutral and does not confirm the uptrend. Intraday, PLTR opened with a small gap down but rebounded sharply, trading near the day’s high within a wide range and signaling heightened short-term volatility.

Sideways consolidation likely unless resistance is breached

For the next 5 trading days, the typical volatility band is expected to be between $135.00 and $150.00, with less than a 20% probability of a further price increase. Continuation to the upside would require a close above the immediate resistance at $149.16, opening the way to $150.00 – $155.00. A break below $135.00 could shift momentum further downward toward $130.00 – $135.00, while the most probable scenario is sideways consolidation between $135.00 and $150.00.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, sees Palantir’s strong revenue growth and high-profile defense partnerships as driving short-term optimism. He notes the stock is gaining momentum despite remaining below key medium- and long-term averages. Macro risks and geopolitical factors are increasing interest in the name. Still, technical signals remain mixed with a high chance of sideways action for now. "If Palantir breaks above $149.16, there is room for further upside, but for now, I expect consolidation and remain constructive on its long-term potential."

Previously it was reported that Palantir Technologies is trading just below its 20-day moving average and remains well under its 50- and 200-day moving averages, reflecting ongoing bearish momentum with most technical signals—such as MACD and ADX—indicating persistent downside pressure. While intraday action shows some upward momentum, resistance near $149 remains firm and the downside risk outweighs the probability of a bullish reversal in the near term.
