PLTR stock news:
The latest set of results had demonstrated that PLTR has been acquiring a constant flow of new customers with its recent announcement that on Monday, the National Institutes of Health’s (NIH) National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS) has awarded PLTR with a contract worth $59.5m over two years. Nonetheless, a report from Reuters on Friday indicated that PLTR may lose a contract with US Immigration & Customs Enforcement.
PLTR stock analysis:
The bearish double-top formed on 23 September is still in place which confirms that PLTR could be in a midst of price reversal and support at $22.80 may temporarily stall the current price slide. Apparently, last Friday’s price action has not affected the current bearish trend and PLTR may see further downward price movement.
PLTR stock is also now below the hourly 200-day exponential moving average and with oscillator like RSI , Stochastic well below the overbought zone, PLTR short-term trend remains bearish. The next major support is at $20.55, which is the low on 19 July this year.
