Smart Money Crowds the Short Side on PLTR, Bullish Trend Remains

PLTR has been trading near its upper Bollinger Band at $185.92 on Binance, and top traders are overwhelmingly short, with a ratio of 67.8% to 32.2%. This could lead to a flush towards $180-$182 before bulls can mount a push above $186.

The trend is not broken, as every moving average below the current price indicates a bullish cascade. However, momentum has flattened out while price presses against the band extreme, suggesting that 'not right now' is the market's message.

The stochastic is already in overbought territory at 87.53, and the RSI at 68.70 is near breaking through, historically resolving with a mean-reversion leg before continuation.
