Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:PLTR) is cooling off after a blistering 2024 run. The stock dipped 4.22% on Friday, followed by a 1.8% slide in pre-market trading Monday, as investors cashed in gains amid broader market turmoil.
The question now: Does this pullback present a buying opportunity, or is it the start of a deeper correction?
Tech's Year-End Stumble
Palantir isn't alone in feeling the heat. The Nasdaq 100 sank 2.2% on Friday, dragged down by megacap names like Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA) which was down 4.55%, Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:NVDA) which dipped 2.89% and Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ:MSFT) which was down 2.44%. The broader S&P 500 also retreated, reflecting a tech-heavy sell-off fueled by profit-taking, tax-loss harvesting and year-end portfolio rebalancing.

From a technical perspective:
Moving Averages: PLTR stock trades well above its eight-day ($78.52), 20-day ($74.94) and 50-day ($62.38) simple moving averages—clear bullish signals.
Relative Strength Index (RSI) and Moving Average Convergence/Divergence (MACD) indicator: With an RSI of 60.84 and a bullish MACD of 4.92, PLTR stock is not showing signs of overbought territory just yet.
What's Next For PLTR Stock?
The year-end sell-off feels more like a necessary breather than a red flag for Palantir.
For investors eyeing the long term, the dip might be a gift-wrapped opportunity. With Palantir maintaining strong momentum and bullish technical signals, this pullback could be a chance to get in before the next leg higher. Just keep an eye on macro factors like bond yields and institutional flows — they'll dictate whether 'buy-the-dip' thesis holds water.
So, is it time to pounce? For believers in Palantir's story, the answer might just be yes.
