Palantir's Stock Takes A Hit: Will AIPCon And Defense Deals Be The Comeback Catalyst?

Palantir Technologies Inc (NASDAQ:PLTR) has been on a wild ride – up 215.99% over the past year, but down 33.51% in just the last month. The stock is now stuck below its key moving averages, flashing strong bearish signals.

Can the upcoming AIPCon and a wave of high-profile deals set PLTR up for a turnaround?

Is PLTR Stock Facing A Technical Knockout?

Chart created using Benzinga Pro

PLTR stock, at $78.05, is trading below its five, 20 and 50-day exponential moving averages, signaling continued selling pressure. The eight-day simple moving average (SMA) at $81.98, 20-day SMA at $94.60 and 50-day SMA at $86.96 all suggest the stock is still in bearish territory.

However, the 200-day SMA at $51.95 paints a different picture, hinting at longer-term strength.

Momentum indicators aren't helping the bulls either. The MACD at a negative 3.95 is firmly bearish, while the RSI at 39.82 signals PLTR stock isn't quite oversold yet.
