I think it’s going to get much cheaper. But slowly, step by step. A major move was the near-perfect hit of the breakout target from the Head & Shoulders pattern at around $66k.
It’s basically a textbook example (or even a coloring-book level one) for those who keep trying to convince themselves that technical analysis doesn’t work and that everything is just random like a lottery.
So I’ve switched my shorts into local longs, averaged the price down, and I’m now waiting for a relief bounce from extremely oversold RSI conditions.
The retracement targets are defined using Fibonacci (second chart — 1H timeframe). I’m mainly watching the shallow correction levels:
$69,700 (Fibo 0.382)
$70,500 (Fibo 0.5)
These are shallow targets, because the broader downtrend is strong and the top of this bounce may be relatively low before another leg down into the summer.
Strong earnings, hot narrative around a defense supercycle, rising revenues, and multi-country contracts… so if everything looks that good fundamentally, why does the chart of this German giant look so weak?
For me the answer is simple: no matter how strong the fundamentals are, the asset is still subject to the same patterns identified by Richard Wyckoff nearly 100 years ago, even before World War II.
And that brings me back again to the classic schematic - Wyckoff distribution, its late phase.
We are in a MARKDOWN phase after a turbo-bullish 2025, when price reached above $2300+. Now we are roughly a thousand dollars below the ATH. Many analysts and brokerage houses are still strongly recommending it as a multi-year buy.
And honestly, it’s hard to disagree long term - but timing is everything. In my view, this is still knife-catching. It’s not optimal. It’s always smarter to wait for the knife to land and pick it up calmly, or in other words: “trend is your friend.” We are still in a clear downtrend on the weekly, daily, and lower timeframes. Nothing bullish here yet, no divergence, no real reversal structure.
Selling volume confirms what’s happening - profit-taking from the 2025 run is still ongoing.
I like the long-term perspective, and I also like the insider behavior, including the fact that the CEO and management were buying dips in May.
So my strategy, in line with my motto: either cheap or nothing.
I’m waiting for further development - or rather further downside, which I see as more probable than a quick return to a strong uptrend in this ticker. We currently have two active breakdown patterns: a double top and a rising wedge, with downside targets much lower: $725 - $810. In that zone we also have the weekly 200 MA around $777.
That area would be absolutely ideal for accumulation, below $800. Sounds far away for now.
But there is a real chance we get there, unless $RHM finds strong support around the psychological $1000 level - that’s the second scenario.
Yesterday I posted the weekly chart for the longer-term perspective, but I can see a lot of people already entered based on the breakout from the trendline (and possibly the wedge) on the daily timeframe, and there is quite a strong hype. Because of that, I took a closer look at the lower timeframe.
First of all, RSI is heavily overextended at around 85 after a strong 17% move to the upside in just two days. Secondly, the wedge breakout projects a technical target around $220, but the question is whether we are due for a correction after such an aggressive impulse and a clear shift in market structure to bullish on the daily. On the weekly timeframe, a proper confirmation of structure change still requires a close above $160.
MACD on the daily looks solid after a bullish crossover, and OBV also shows strength following a bullish divergence. However, the key factor here is the positioning of the most important moving average - the green 200 MA - which is sitting just above price and is still sloping downward, meaning it is likely to act as resistance.
To me, this looks like a classic power move into resistance - in other words, an aggressive upside push directly into a major resistance zone. In fact, we are dealing with a confluence of resistance levels, since the weekly 50 MA is currently sitting around $159, creating a double resistance zone.
Power moves into resistance most often result in a local rejection, mainly due to overextension and short-term profit taking by market participants.
Because of that, I personally think entering here is premature. It is still essentially buying directly into resistance. However, the structure becomes very bullish if the weekly candle closes above $161-163: that would be a much stronger confirmation than the current impulse.
Alternatively, I would be interested in a healthy correction and an RSI reset.
And I mean a technical pullback to one of the Fibonacci levels after the recent impulse wave, followed by a reaction from buyers. Something similar to what I marked on the attached 4H zoom.
I'm not a huge fan of the company itself, but the weekly chart is starting to look very attractive. It seems to be signaling that the correction which began from the November all-time high (the top of Elliott Wave 5) - or at the latest from the dead-cat bounce high (Wave B on the chart) - may be approaching its end.
The Elliott structure has remained remarkably clean for several years, which makes the search for a correction bottom more interesting. There are already multiple signals appearing on a serious timeframe:
Bullish RSI divergence
Bullish OBV divergence
Bullish MACD crossover
That's a strong trio. The only thing still missing is volume confirmation, as trading activity remains below average levels.
What's also interesting is the developing pattern that resembles a double bottom. We may already have a slightly higher low in place. The next step would be a higher high - ideally a weekly close above $160 with convincing volume.
The setup is potentially very bullish because it comes after a meaningful correction and several months of consolidation/accumulation, which is generally the healthiest environment for a new uptrend in high-growth AI names.
From a technical perspective, the ideal entry would come after a confirmed bullish market structure shift. A breakout from the double-bottom pattern would add another layer of confirmation, with a measured move target around $202.
One important obstacle remains directly overhead: the weekly 50 MA, currently around $159. That creates a major confluence resistance zone between roughly $159 and $162 - 165.
This could be a very important week for $PLTR .
Personally, I don't like entering positions directly underneath heavy resistance. I'd rather see how next week's candle closes and whether buyers can reclaim that zone with volume.
