Taking a look at Palantir’s (PLTR.US) technicals on the daily chart, one might spot that shares have been trading sideways recently. However, the price is making a rebound after strong earnings. Today’s bullish gap pushed the price above the 23.6% Fibo retracement of the drop started in late-January. The area near $27.45 seems to be a critical resistance (two local peaks) - the next Fibonacci retracement may be found just slightly above. Recently the volume has been on the rise as well.
