A trading expert has projected that Palantir Technologies’ (NASDAQ: PLTR) stock could crash to $43 in the coming months if historical patterns repeat.
Such a move would represent a roughly 67% decline from the last closing price of $133. Year-to-date, PLTR shares have already plunged more than 60%.

Regarding the price outlook, analysis by TradingShot shared in a TradingView post on February 17 indicated that the projected drop can be derived from PLTR’s weekly chart.
In this line, the stock’s technical setup shows it breaking below its 50-week moving average (MA), a move the analyst argues confirms the start of a new bear cycle.
TradingShot noted that the current setup mirrors the 2021–2022 downturn, when a break below the 50-week MA coincided with a weakening weekly RSI that slid within a descending channel and fell below 30, ultimately leading to an almost 80% drop in about six months.

At the same time, Fibonacci analysis places the 0.786 retracement near $82.50, an area where PLTR could find interim support, potentially alongside a test of the 200-week MA as RSI nears oversold levels.
However, if the previous fractal fully repeats, the stock could decline roughly 80% from its peak, implying a bear market bottom around $43, potentially by early February 2027.
After being one of the top performers of the 2023–2025 AI-driven rally, Palantir now faces a decisively bearish weekly outlook following the technical breakdown and weakening momentum.
