PLTR: Descending Channel Measured Move Targets $200Palantir Technologies Inc. Class ABATS:PLTRtimothysmith78Shares in analytics software maker Palantir Technologies (PLTR) popped 17% ahead of Tuesday's opening bell after the company posted second quarter results that sailed past Wall Street expectations, boosted by a surge in commercial revenue. The AI darling also lifted its annual revenue forecast, driven by steady demand for its AI-powered analytics software. Taking a closer look at Palantir's technicals, the shares have trended lower this year within a descending triangle, a chart pattern that can lead to a bullish trend reversal upon a decisive volume-backed breakout.
