Palantir Technologies Inc. – PLTR
Palantir Stock Jumps. Earnings Blew Past Wall Street’s Stratospheric Expectations.
Data company Palantir Technologies blasted past the sky-high expectations for its second-quarter earnings report. Continued strength in U.S. sales is driving revenue growth and profitability.
Shares are up 2.4% in after-hours trading. They closed Monday 4.1% higher at a new all-time high, according to Dow Jones Market Data.
Palantir did everything perfectly chart wise – sharp Uptrend channel support at 151.05 provided a footing for strong spike up and stock hit the new all time high at 161.40.
But what happened after trade hours is what’s worth mentioning…
It sky rocketed straight to 166.80 and pushes even more…
That sharp Uptrend channel is targeting 195.50 right now – in a week or two that is.
Most important Support comes now at 156.50

Robinhood Markets Inc. – HOOD
Robinhood Markets Is Maintained at Neutral by Citigroup
Robinhood Markets Price Target Raised to $120.00/Share From $100.00 by Citigroup
Robinhood Markets Is Maintained at Overweight by Barclays
Robinhood Markets Price Target Raised to $120.00/Share From $102.00 by Barclays
So Big guys are calling for 120.00 – what we should expect?
Current pattern calls for higher tomorrow, but there are two important Resistances above the head:
109.05 & 113.45
If Hood takes them both, I can see it rallying to 120.00 as well – even slightly higher – about 121.20
Supports that need to hold for this scenario to unfold are:
104.55 & 99.95 in next couple of days.

Advanced Micro Devices Inc. – AMD
AMD Q2 Earnings Loom–Should You Buy, Hold, or Sell?
AMD will be a highlight of this week’s earnings lineup, with the chip leader set to release its Q2 report after-market hours on Tuesday, August 5.
Chart wise it is now a question of breaking above the previous high at 182.50
To be able to do so, supports at 173.55 & 169.90 must hold in coming days.
Loss of those two would lead AMD towards 150.00
