Bullish Wave Continues — But Beware the Overbought Zone

Palantir stock has been on an absolute tear this year, up a staggering 158% year-to-date. From a technical standpoint, the stock is basking in bullish glory, sitting comfortably above its five-, 20- and 50-day moving averages. The current price of $42.70 spells bullish across key indicators such as the eight-day SMA ($42.63) and the 20-day SMA ($40.80).

With a Moving Average Convergence/Divergence (MACD) of 2.02, the momentum favors the bulls. The stock's Relative Strength Index (RSI) at 67.56 is inching toward overbought territory, suggesting some caution is warranted.

For now, Palantir stock has bullish chart signals, but investors should keep one eye on the stock’s overbought status as it heads into earnings.
