PLTR, BTC, and COIN: How to Spot Bottoming Clues (and Avoid Falling Knives)

When stocks like Palantir, Bitcoin, and Coinbase pull back sharply, how can you tell if an opportunity is on your hands or not? Dave Keller contrasts trend-following and bottom-fishing approaches, using Alaska Air as a constructive example and highlighting what’s still missing in riskier setups. Dave Keller tackles a question he’s been hearing often: when former leaders like Palantir, Bitcoin, and Coinbase pull back sharply, how do you tell when opportunity may be emerging versus when a chart is still breaking down? He contrasts trend-following momentum strategies with more value-oriented approaches focused on buying weakness, explaining why technical analysis relies on both leading and lagging signals. Using Alaska Air Group as a constructive bottoming example, Dave walks through what he looks for as downside momentum fades, support levels come into focus, and accumulation begins. He then applies the same 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.
