Beyond Technical Analysis

Can Software Win Wars and Transform Commerce?Palantir Technologies has emerged as a dominant force in artificial intelligence, achieving explosive growth through its unique positioning at the intersection of national security and enterprise transformation. The company reported its first billion-dollar quarter with 48% year-over-year sales growth, driven by an unprecedented 93% surge in U.S. commercial revenue. This performance stems from Palantir's proprietary Ontology architecture, which solves the critical challenge of unifying disparate data sources across organizations, and its Artificial Intelligence Platform (AIP) that accelerates deployment through intensive bootcamp sessions. The company's technological moat is reinforced by strategic patent protections and a remarkable 94% Rule of 40 score, signaling exceptional operational efficiency. Palantir's defense entrenchment provides a formidable competitive advantage and guaranteed revenue streams. The company secured a $618.9 million Army Vantage contract and deployed the Maven Smart System for the Marine Corps, positioning itself as essential infrastructure for the Pentagon's Combined Joint All-Domain Command and Control strategy. These systems enhance battlefield decision-making, with targeting officers processing 80 targets per hour versus 30 without the platform. Beyond U.S. forces, Palantir supports NATO operations, assists Ukraine, and partners with the UK Ministry of Defence, creating a global network of high-margin, long-term government contracts across democratic allies. Despite achieving profitability with 26.8% operating margins and maintaining $6 billion in cash with virtually no debt, Palantir trades at extreme valuations of 100 times revenue and 224 times forward earnings. With 84% of analysts recommending Hold or Sell ratings, the market remains divided on whether the premium is justified. Bulls argue the valuation reflects Palantir's transformation from niche government contractor to critical AI infrastructure provider, with analysts projecting potential revenue growth from $4.2 billion to $21 billion. The company's success across nine strategic domains—from military modernization to healthcare analytics—suggests it has built an "institutionally required platform" that could justify sustained premium pricing. The investment thesis ultimately hinges on whether Palantir's structural advantages—its proprietary data integration technology, defense entrenchment, and accelerating commercial adoption—can sustain the growth trajectory demanded by its valuation. While the platform's complexity requires heavy customization and limits immediate scalability compared to simpler competitors, the 93% commercial growth rate validates enterprise demand. Investors must balance the company's undeniable technological and strategic positioning against valuation risk, with any growth deceleration likely triggering significant multiple compression. For long-term investors willing to weather volatility, Palantir represents a bet on AI infrastructure dominance across both military and commercial domains.

Ethereum is deciding where it wants to live.This is not a trade idea, this is a long term concept, most of my portfolio is swing when bull market comes (monthly/yearly) not trade (daily/weekly). This is a solid question that will have to be played out in the upcoming years, Ethereum keeps changing its monetary policy and right now has less supply increase than BTC (due to burning mechanisms), will that stay forever? What will happen in the future to the policy? What it will mean for price? Right now we can clearly see this is a bull case for future months.

Those must be one of the best times to buy Cardano tokens [ADA]It very rarely happens that a coin similar to both BTC (UTXO model/limited supply) and ETH (programmable/smart contracts) has its bearish low lower than the last cycle's highest top. Tech stocks are somehow related to Crypto tech tokens, Therefore BTC likes to correlate to other Alts, but for the longer-term BTC on itself is closer to Gold from the Store of value standpoint and medium of exchange (the lightning network has been developing rapidly recently). The bottom line is sometimes BTC and crypto will correlate to gold and sometimes it will correlate to stocks, it's not one or the other only. The statistics are very clear that crypto is the most uncorrelated asset. Keep in mind the global situation with Russia and Ukraine is somehow dragging the US stock market that was already long overdue to pop bubble sooner than later. The situation with Canadian truckers only confirmed that storing BTC and any crypto on custodian exchange is a bad idea and breaks the purpose of decentralization, do keep your crypto off those central points of failure, and remember, those news are not negative for BTC and other cryptos, they are positive. Truly decentralized ledger blockchain technology cannot be stopped, govs can only block fiat on/off ramps, and even there people are getting smarter and more creative. For the longer timeframes in my opinion any buy below 0.95 cents for ADA is a good buy, make sure not to wait too long, this thought has 5-year time horizon. Do not trade daily, it's a waste of time and money.

Dragonfly doji indicating possible bullish reversalG'day thanks for viewing. My personal target for VGZ when it becomes an established steady-state 153,000 oz pa producer is USD13. This is at $4000 gold, a $150 higher AISC per ounce as in the Feasibility Study, and a quite pessimistic price to free-cash multiple. Less pessimistic scenarios could easily see prices above $30. The earliest production outlook probable would be early 2029 ramp-up. Even though that is some time away, I feel that I will be well-remunerated for my patience. Entry price is $0.74. The dragonfly doji is seen as a bullish signal. Basically, it shows that continued bearish pressure is losing strength, support may have been reached, and further price pressure to the downside is easily counter-acted by buying pressure. Prices were pushed down, but are easily pushed back up, and closed in positive territory. Whether you believe in Japanese Candlesticks, trading psychology, or whatever, gold is finding support and one must admit that the sell-off is possibly easing. In the end a few cents here and there won't matter so much as there is a good and increasing chance that this project is going to happen. I would put the chances currently as about 60% chance of progressing to production within 5 years. If I hadn't taken a position in March, I would look at it like this; Do you think it would be worthwhile investing X amount with a 60% chance of a 6 to 13 x return? "Yes" would be my answer. That is a very attractive risk-reward ratio. It may be easier for me to envisage as I have flown over the mine - not that this given me an 'edge.' It's more that I have seen the project, know that it is real and concrete (albeit unexecuted), and can talk to real locals who have various opinions on the project. I also see people selling gold nuggets collected in the Pine Creek area weekly on FB marketplace (not that VGZ's Mt Todd open-pit is "nuggety.") There are other gold miners opening up around Mt Todd under the current gold price environment. Luckily for you, Vista Gold is still drastically uncovered (I saw three recent posts from VGZ that had ZERO LIKES in a day, 4 likes in 1 day and 2 likes in 4 days after posting) - other much smaller miners have hugely greater social media coverage). They need to get some new Investor Relations / PR... but again... lucky for you they haven't yet. Otherwise it wouldn't be cheap still. They have signed at least 5 non-disclosure deals with potential partners. Average time from Feasibility Study to commencement of construction is 1.7 years. That puts us in Q1 2027 followed by a two year construction phase. My scenarios assume no dilution.

When Generals Run and Soldiers Nap — The Market’s Odd ParadeEver seen an army march where the generals sprint ahead, but the soldiers just yawn and stay behind? That’s exactly what’s happening in the U.S. futures battlefield right now. The ES, NQ, and YM — our large-cap “generals” — opened the week above their prior highs, looking ready for victory speeches. But the RTY, representing small caps, is still lagging like it hit the snooze button. The Breadth Problem Healthy rallies need everyone on board. When small caps don’t join the charge, it’s like running a marathon with only one leg — you might move forward, but not for long. That’s why this gap between the big guys and the small ones is called bearish divergence — momentum without muscle. How Deep Could It Go? Under the surface, liquidity pockets (UFO supports) show the “landing zones” below price: ES: ~5% lower NQ: ~6% lower YM: ~9% lower RTY: ~14% lower (!) Translation: if the market trips, the generals may bruise a knee — but the soldiers could roll down the hill. Tick, Margin, and Scale CME index futures come in two flavors — E-minis for the pros, Micro E-minis for precision control: S&P 500 (ES/MES): tick 0.25 → $12.50 / $1.25; margin ≈ $21K / $2.1K Nasdaq 100 (NQ/MNQ): tick 0.25 → $5 / $0.50; margin ≈ $30K / $3K Dow Jones (YM/MYM): tick 1 → $5 / $0.50; margin ≈ $13K / $1.3K Russell 2000 (RTY/M2K): tick 0.10 → $5 / $0.50; margin ≈ $9K / $0.9K (Approximate numbers, educational only.) The Lesson Breadth divergences don’t “predict” the end of the rally — they just whisper: “Careful, this parade’s out of sync.” So before chasing the next breakout, remember: even the best generals can’t win a war if their soldiers stay in camp.

EURCAD BUY SET UP EURCAD is back at a key 4H demand zone near 1.6200, a level that’s been defended several times by buyers. The question now: is this another liquidity grab before a bounce… or the start of a deeper breakdown? ⸻ 📉 Technical Overview • Price has tapped into the same support block that previously triggered a strong push to 1.6460. • Multiple equal lows (liquidity) formed below 1.6200 — this could be a sweep setup before another move up. • A 4H close above 1.6230 would confirm short-term bullish structure and signal potential continuation toward 1.6400 – 1.6460. • Invalidation: If price closes below 1.6160, expect sellers to target 1.6100 next. 📊 Setup Summary: • Bias: Bullish from support • Zone: 1.6180 – 1.6210 • Target 1: 1.6400 • Target 2: 1.6460 • Stop Loss: Below 1.6150 #EURCAD #Forex #PriceAction #SmartMoneyConcepts #Liquidity #SupportZone #SwingTrading #4HAnalysis #TradingViewIdeas

Gold holds gains but faces strong resistance at $3975📊 Market Overview: Gold prices remain steady around $3960–$3965, sustaining upside momentum after breaking above the key $3950 resistance. The market is supported by expectations that the Fed may cut rates sooner, while a weaker USD continues to bolster gold. However, profit-taking pressure around $3970–$3975 is slowing the rally ahead of the U.S. session. 📉 Technical Analysis: • Key Resistance: $3975 – $3985 – $4000 • Nearest Support: $3955 – $3948 – $3935 • EMA: Price is above EMA 09 & EMA 20 (H1) → short-term trend remains bullish. • Candlestick & Momentum: H1 candles are holding above the $3950 breakout zone, confirming ongoing buying strength, though RSI nearing overbought may trigger a minor correction. 📌 Outlook: Gold remains in a short-term uptrend above $3955. A clear break above $3975 could open the door to $3985–$4000, while a drop below $3955 may trigger a pullback toward $3948–$3935 before any rebound. 💡 Trading Strategy Suggestion: 🔺 BUY XAU/USD at: $3935 – $3932 🎯 TP: 40 / 80 / 200 pips ❌ SL: $3929 🔻 SELL XAU/USD at: $3975 – $3978 🎯 TP: 40 / 80 / 200 pips ❌ SL: $3981

NOU(TSX: NOU) — Swing Trade💰 NOU — Swing Trade Breakdown (TSX: NOU) 🏢 Company Snapshot Nouveau Monde Graphite Inc. is a Québec-based developer of graphite and battery-anode materials. The company’s integrated mine and battery plant strategy has put it at the center of Canada’s EV supply chain narrative. Recent price momentum follows strong interest in critical minerals and graphite demand tied to EV growth. 📊 Fundamentals NOU remains a development-stage, pre-revenue company — not yet profitable, so traditional metrics like P/E don’t apply. The price-to-book sits around 5×, a premium to peers, suggesting investors are pricing in future production success. Debt remains low with a debt-to-equity ratio near 0.15, and the company holds roughly $73 M CAD in cash against ~$18 M CAD in debt. However, free cash flow is deeply negative (-$70 M TTM), and ROE sits around -53%, reflecting the heavy capital burn of early-stage mine development. Summary: Healthy balance sheet for a small-cap, but still a high-risk bet on future execution rather than current profitability. 📈 Trends & Catalysts Revenue Growth: Minimal — still pre-production. EPS Trend: Losses widening as project spending increases. Cash Flow: Negative, typical for early miners. Balance Sheet: Solid liquidity but ongoing share dilution. Catalysts: Final Investment Decision (FID) expected for Phase 2 mine and Bécancour plant. Government and EV-supply-chain incentives for Canadian graphite. Technical breakout momentum following months of accumulation. Risks: Execution and funding risk. High valuation vs fundamentals. Possible dilution if additional financing is needed. 🪙 Industry Context Graphite and battery materials are seeing renewed strength. Over the last month, the graphite segment has rallied hard — with NOU up roughly +50% and nearly +90% YTD — outperforming broader materials. Sentiment remains bullish, though volatility is high as traders rotate through battery-related names. 📐 Technicals NOU recently surged from around C$2.50 to nearly C$8.00, then retraced back toward support near C$3.50–3.80, which aligns with its 50-day SMA around C$3.44. The 200-SMA sits lower near C$2.75, confirming a still-bullish long-term structure. RSI has cooled from overbought levels (mid-60s), indicating the stock could be setting up for a secondary leg higher if demand returns. Support is seen between C$3.30–3.50, with major resistance between C$5.50–6.60. Volume expanded sharply on the rally, then tapered during the pullback — suggesting profit-taking rather than a trend reversal. 🎯 Trade Plan Entry Zone: C$3.50–3.80 (near support and 50-SMA) Stop Loss: C$2.90 (below last swing low) Target: C$6.60 (prior resistance) Risk/Reward: ≈ 2:1 Alternate Setup: Break and close above C$5.00 with volume for a continuation move toward C$7+ 🧠 My Take This is a momentum swing on a speculative name — not a fundamental investment. I like the setup technically: clean pullback after a breakout, strong long-term trend, and supportive sector tailwind. A patient entry near the 50-SMA with a tight stop offers a solid R/R setup. I’m watching for confirmation with volume; if it holds above C$3.50 and reclaims C$4.00, it could make another leg toward C$6+. Below C$3.30, the setup breaks down — take the loss quickly. Bias: Bullish swing setup on retest of support within an emerging uptrend.

EUR/USD Technical Outlook – October 29, 2025The EUR/USD pair is currently trading around 1.1628, showing a mild pullback after failing to hold above the 1.1660 short-term resistance. The broader structure on the H1 timeframe still suggests a bearish bias, as price remains below key swing highs and continues to respect descending structure points. Key Technical Levels Resistance 1: 1.1660 – Short-term supply zone and potential retest area. Resistance 2: 1.1720 – Major structure resistance aligned with previous liquidity grab. Support 1: 1.1570 – Key short-term demand zone. Support 2: 1.1500 – Extended target area if bearish continuation holds. Trading Strategy Idea Price may attempt a minor retracement toward 1.1660, which aligns with the Fibonacci 61.8% retracement of the recent downswing. A rejection from this level could confirm renewed selling pressure, leading to a potential move back toward 1.1570 – 1.1560 zone. Traders may look for bearish confirmation (RSI divergence or EMA crossover) before entering short positions. Market Bias: Bearish below 1.1660 Invalidation: A clear breakout above 1.1720 would shift bias to neutral.

Bitcoin consolidated after a strong bullish trendBitcoin’s price has recently consolidated after a strong bullish trend.

Sellers attempted to push prices lower, but the retracement remains shallow — indicating that buyers are still defending every dip.

The structure shows higher lows forming, which supports the ongoing bullish bias. a breakout from the support zone could trigger renewed upside momentum.
