PLTR, BTC, and COIN: How to Spot Bottoming Clues (and Avoid Falling Knives)
When Palantir, Bitcoin, and Coinbase suddenly drop, do you step in and buy the dip, or is it a warning sign?
In this video, David Keller, CMT, tackles a question he's been hearing again and again: When former leaders pull back sharply, how can you tell when an opportunity may be emerging versus when a chart is still breaking down?
Follow along as Dave contrasts trend-following momentum strategies with value-oriented approaches focused on buying weakness, and explains how technical analysis uses leading and lagging signals. Using Alaska Air Group (ALK) as a constructive bottoming example, Dave walks through what he looks for as downside momentum starts to weaken, support levels come into focus, and accumulation begins. He then applies a similar framework to Palantir, Bitcoin, and Coinbase, highlighting what's still missing on those charts and how tools like support, momentum, retracements, scans, and alerts help investors stay disciplined and patient during volatile pullbacks.
