Bottom line
PLTR Technical Analysis Summary
PLTR has staged a sharp rebound, rallying about 29% over the past five sessions to 158.43, and the daily chart now trades above SMA20 (131.43), SMA50 (131.42), and SMA200 (152.44) with a positive MACD and RSI near 68. The weekly chart has not caught up: the last completed week closed at 123.06, still below the weekly SMA20 (135.42) and SMA50 (154.46) with a negative MACD. The daily move is strong but extended, with price closing above the upper Bollinger Band at 152.75 and volume 1.46 times its 20-day average. The key test is whether the daily rally can push price back above the weekly SMA20 at 135.42 and turn weekly momentum positive; until then the medium-term structure remains bearish. Immediate support sits near the 20-day low at 117.89, and resistance is at the 20-day high of 166.08.

Daily (August 5, 2026)
- Trend
- Bullish-leaning after a sharp rebound. Price at 158.43 is above SMA20 (131.43), SMA50 (131.42), and SMA200 (152.44). The SMA20 and SMA50 have converged near 131.4 after the advance, and price is now above the SMA200, though the SMA50 is still below the SMA200, so the longer-term alignment is rebuilding.
- Momentum
- Strong. RSI14 at 68.74 is approaching overbought but remains below the 70 threshold. MACD line at 3.55 is above the signal line at 0.28 with a positive histogram of 3.27, and the MACD line has moved above zero, confirming bullish momentum.
- Volatility
- High. ATR14 at 8.59 (5.42% of price) reflects wide daily swings. Bollinger Bands span 110.11 to 152.75, and price closed above the upper band, indicating an extended move that often precedes a consolidation or pullback.
- Volume
- Above average. Latest volume of 63,313,300 is 1.46 times the 20-period average (43,318,875), indicating strong participation in the recent rally.
Assessment
The daily chart has flipped from a downtrend to a sharp rally over the past five sessions. Price at 158.43 is above all three major SMAs, the MACD has turned positive, and RSI at 68.74 is strong without being overbought. Volume at 1.46 times average supports the move. The close above the upper Bollinger Band at 152.75 and the still-negative longer-term SMA alignment suggest the rally is powerful but extended. A pullback toward the SMA20 at 131.43 would be a normal consolidation. The 52-week position at 51.47% shows price back near the middle of its annual range after the rebound from the lows.
Weekly (July 27, 2026 week)
- Trend
- Bearish-leaning. Price at 123.06 is below SMA20 (135.42) and SMA50 (154.46) but well above SMA200 (70.21). The SMA20 remains below the SMA50, confirming the medium-term downtrend, while the SMA200 slopes strongly upward, providing a long-term bullish anchor.
- Momentum
- Bearish. RSI14 at 43.21 is below the neutral 50 level. MACD line at -7.56 is below the signal line at -6.93 with a negative histogram of -0.63, confirming bearish momentum at the weekly scale.
- Volatility
- Very high. ATR14 at 16.94 (13.77% of price) reflects extreme weekly swings typical of PLTR during directional transitions.
- Volume
- Below average. Weekly volume of 164,400,100 is 80.3% of the 20-week average (204,695,705), indicating reduced participation.
Assessment
The weekly chart still shows a bearish medium-term structure, with price at 123.06 below SMA20 (135.42) and SMA50 (154.46) and a negative MACD. The 52-week position at 16.50% places the stock in the lower part of its annual range. The SMA200 at 70.21 is the long-term support anchor, but price is far above it. The strong daily rally of the past week has not yet been confirmed on the weekly chart, so the weekly trend stays down until price reclaims the weekly SMA20 at 135.42.
