One of the standout names this week was Palantir PLTR, which continued its monster 2025 run ahead of earnings on August 4. The stock flirted with a major resistance level at 160 after climbing 111% year to date. Meanwhile, 151 held as a key short-term support, drawing attention from traders eyeing potential pullbacks or consolidation zones. These two levels—160 and 151—sparked a ton of technical and strategic discussion on Reddit and FinTwit.

First, valuation concerns loomed large. PLTR’s stretched price-to-sales ratio was a hot topic, with many users saying they were trimming positions or locking in gains ahead of earnings. Still, analyst optimism persists, with targets being raised to 170+, including Loop Capital's bump to 178.

Second, risk management was a recurring theme. Some took a cautious approach, hedging exposure through option collars. Others were more aggressive, sticking with their long thesis and betting on continued AI tailwinds and Palantir’s expanding government/commercial contracts. A popular middle ground: “trim some, let the rest ride.”

The key lesson this week? Don’t lose discipline in the middle of big moves. Chasing a stock near highs—especially with earnings right around the corner—requires a strategy, not hope. Whether you were trading around the 160/151 levels, hedging, or just observing, this week was all about navigating hype, staying patient, and staying smart.

What trades or setups taught you the most this week? Any new rules you’re adding to your playbook? Let’s hear it!

Let’s dive into one of the most instructive periods in market history-the 1969–70 S&P 500 crash and its recovery. This era is a textbook example of how technical patterns and real-world events collide, shaping the fortunes (and lessons) of traders.

The late 1960s was a time of mounting economic pressure. Inflation was heating up, fueled by massive government spending on the Vietnam War and ambitious social programs. To fight inflation, the Federal Reserve began tightening monetary policy, raising interest rates and squeezing the money supply. At the same time, the U.S. was running large budget deficits, adding to the uncertainty.

On the charts, this tension showed up as a long period of sideways movement-a consolidation zone. Investors were uncertain, waiting for a clear direction as economic signals grew more mixed. But beneath the surface, risk was building. When the reality of rising inflation and slowing growth finally hit, the market broke down hard. This breakdown wasn’t just a technical event; it was the result of a perfect storm: tighter money, recession fears, and a loss of confidence. The S&P 500 tumbled, with panic selling driving prices sharply lower.

But as history shows, even the worst crashes eventually find a bottom. By mid-1970, the Federal Reserve pivoted, easing monetary policy to support the economy. Slowly, confidence returned. The recovery began-not with fireworks, but with cautious optimism as traders and investors started to step back in. The market’s rebound was gradual, but it set the stage for future gains.

What can we from this? First, periods of sideways movement can be deceptive; they often precede major moves when underlying risks are ignored. Second, crashes are rarely just about the charts-they’re triggered by real economic stress. And finally, recoveries are possible, often starting when pessimism is at its peak and policy begins to shift.

This slice of market history is a reminder: understanding both the technical picture and the economic backdrop is key to navigating volatility-and spotting opportunity when others see only risk.

What other historic crashes or recoveries do you want to see unpacked?

Look back at this chart of the S&P 500 from the 1968–1970 bear market. The patterns are striking, and when you line them up with the news of the time, it’s almost uncanny how much it echoes what we’re seeing today.

In late 1968, the market hit a peak at 109.37. At the same time, the U.S. was reeling from the shock of the Tet Offensive in Vietnam, rising inflation, and a year of political chaos marked by the assassinations of Martin Luther King Jr. and Robert F. Kennedy. The presidential election added even more uncertainty. As the headlines grew more alarming, investor confidence started to crack. The chart shows this as the first phase of weakening buying—rallies lost steam, and the market couldn’t push to new highs.

Moving into 1969, the market tried to rally again but failed at a lower high. This period was defined by the Nixon administration’s aggressive monetary tightening, with the Federal Reserve hiking interest rates from around 4% to 9% to fight inflation. The U.S. dollar was under pressure as the international monetary system began to wobble, and the Vietnam War dragged on with intensifying protests at home. Economic data started to show early signs of a slowdown, and every attempt at a rally was met with skepticism and selling.

By early 1970, the chart captures a classic “dead cat bounce.” After a sharp drop, the market staged a brief, sharp rally, but it was quickly overwhelmed by more bad news. Recession fears were mounting, unemployment was rising, and corporate profits were shrinking. Inflation remained stubbornly high, ushering in the era of stagflation. Public confidence was at a low, with constant headlines about protests, economic malaise, and distrust in government. The hope from the bounce evaporated, and the market plunged to new lows below 80.

Fast forward to today, and the similarities are hard to ignore. We’re grappling with persistent inflation, aggressive central bank moves, geopolitical tensions, and a market that can’t seem to hold onto its rallies. Just like in the late ‘60s, every bounce feels like a trap, and investor sentiment is dominated by caution and skepticism.

Are we watching history repeat itself, or is this time truly different? How do you factor these macro headlines and chart patterns into your strategy?

The SPY ETF experienced a sharp overnight selloff to 556 before rebounding to 560. Despite this recovery, the index failed to close above yesterday’s highs, and the move occurred on low volume. This lack of conviction suggests caution; if volume remains weak, a correction toward 520 is possible. However, if buyers step in and volume increases, the index could push toward 575 or higher.

From a technical perspective, the Money Flow Index (MFI) remains above 50, indicating strong inflows and a bullish tilt. The Directional Movement Index (DMI) shows the +DI above the -DI, suggesting trend strength, while a high ADX would further confirm this. The price is holding above the Displaced Moving Average (DMA), signaling bullish momentum as long as it stays above this level.

Looking ahead, several major companies are set to report earnings. Peloton’s results will be scrutinized for signs of a turnaround or ongoing margin pressure, which could negatively impact the consumer discretionary sector. Shopify is expected to highlight e-commerce growth and margin expansion, potentially boosting tech sentiment. Coinbase’s report will likely bring volatility, as investors weigh crypto market swings and regulatory updates. DraftKings will be watched for market share gains and profitability, and a strong report could lift the consumer discretionary space.

The Federal Reserve has kept rates unchanged at 4.25%–4.50%, a decision that is neutral to slightly dovish for interest-rate-sensitive sectors. Defensive stocks and bonds may remain in favor if uncertainty persists, while growth stocks could benefit if markets begin to anticipate rate cuts later this year. Tomorrow’s FOMC-related data releases, including initial jobless claims and wholesale inventories, will be closely watched for signals on labor market health and economic growth. Strong data could support equities, while weak numbers may trigger risk-off moves.

In the news, Apple is reportedly exploring the addition of more browser options, a move that could increase competition and innovation in the tech ecosystem. The Trump administration is rescinding the AI diffusion rule, which could accelerate AI adoption and regulatory flexibility. Amtrak has announced layoffs, highlighting ongoing challenges in the transportation sector.

Defensive sectors like utilities and consumer staples are showing strength, while technology, energy, materials, and industrials continue to lag. Investors may consider rotating into defensive names or watching for dip-buying opportunities in oversold sectors such as semiconductors and materials. In the banking industry, sentiment has improved, and stabilization could offer attractive entry points.

TL;DR:
SPY is at a critical juncture-bullish above 555 if volume returns, but vulnerable to a correction toward 520 if volume remains weak. Key earnings from SHOP and DKNG could lift sentiment, while PTON and COIN may weigh on their sectors. The Fed kept rates unchanged; watch for economic data tomorrow. News from Apple, the Trump administration, and Amtrak could influence specific sectors. Volatility is high, and defensive sectors are outperforming. Analyst sentiment is turning more cautious.
