PLTR is up 65% from the July low - and it's headed to all time highs

Hi all,

posting below my analysis at current levels:

PLTR bottomed around 105 in july and is at 173 now, almost all of that since the earnings report. Worth knowing where the chart says the next decisions get made.

180 is the level to watch. that's where the stock kept stalling last winter, and it's the first real resistance since the november high near 205. a daily close above it, holding, opens up ATH.

160 is the floor. that's the level it broke out from. as long as price stays above 160 the move looks real. below it and the earnings jump starts to look like something that got sold into.

152 is the 200 day average. PLTR spent most of 2026 underneath it and just took it back. that's the biggest structural change here, and it's what separates this from the failed bounces in april and june.

what I'd watch from here:

  1. close above 180 and hold → all time highs is next

  2. chopping between 160 and 180 → the gap digests, which is normal after a move this size

  3. close below 160 → the breakout failed

Good luck all! :)

GOLD (XAUUSD) daily — the 4,500 resistance and the 200 DMA are the same level

gold based around 4,000 through june and july, then pushed up to 4,425 over the last two weeks. the level ahead is 4,500, and it deserves more attention than a round number normally would - the 200 day sits at 4,498.

So the breakout level and the 200 DMA are the same test

Structure is a rounded bottom after a prolonged base. Price has reclaimed the shorter moving averages and is now pressing into declining resistance. what makes this different from the failed attempts in may and june is that the 4,000 area held repeatedly rather than bouncing once.

Levels:

4,498–4,500 - declining resistance and the 200 DMA in the same place.

a daily close above is the first genuine challenge to the downtrend that began after february's high.

4,300 - support. A close below and the base read is in question, with 4,000 back in play.

what I'm watching:

  1. daily close above 4,500, then a retest that holds → 4,800 becomes the objective
  2. rejection at 4,498–4,500 with a lower high → range continues, fade toward 4,300
  3. close below 4,300 → structure resets

not chasing at 4,425. That's 125 points of risk down to 4,300 for about 75 up to resistance — the wrong side of even, and that's before the setup has even triggered.

the thesis only strengthens if 4,500 becomes support after the break.

until then this is a rebound testing a well-defined ceiling.

invalidation: daily close under 4,300.

anyone else observing gold daily? what's your thesis?

[Self-Promotion] Wick — screenshot any trading chart, get a full analysis in seconds

Hi everyone 👋

I've spent the last three months building Wick.

I've been a programmer for 10+ years, mostly in the games industry, and a stock market and finance nerd for about as long. Wick is what happened when those two finally overlapped.

Every bad trade I've taken looked fine when I opened it. The reason was almost always sitting on the chart: a level I hadn't marked, a pattern i'd read backwards, a stop i'd put somewhere convenient instead of somewhere correct. I just didn't see it until after.

Wick reads the chart cold — no position, no bias — and shows you what you missed before you click. Screenshot any chart from MetaTrader, TradingView, your broker's app, even a photo of your laptop screen, and you get a full read in about five seconds.

Half the time it agrees with you. The other half it makes you stop and rethink, and that's the half that's actually worth something.

What you get:

- Trend, signal, and a confidence score

- Key support and resistance levels

- The chart pattern it found, with an explanation of why

- Bull and bear cases side by side with probabilities

- A complete trade plan: trigger, entry, stop, target, risk-to-reward

- A shareable report card, so you can drop an analysis straight into a group chat instead of screenshotting a cluttered app

If you're still learning, it works the other way round: you get the entry, stop and target, but also the reasoning. Which level matters and why, what pattern it's reading, why the stop sits where it does.

Most tools hand you numbers and leave you to trust them.

Works on any market and any timeframe — gold, forex, crypto, stocks, from 5-minute scalps to weekly charts.

Girlfriend can't find a job

Hi all,

I'm Italian, from Padova - Veneto, where I own a flat. My girlfriend is Ukrainian, 30, and works in finance. She's currently based in Warsaw and I manage to visit her two weeks every month because I work fully remote, but the plan has always been to settle in Padova.

The problem is the job search. She's sent well over a hundred applications for finance and tax roles in northern Italy — mostly Veneto, some Milan, Big 4 and companies — and hasn't had a single interview. Not one. Mostly no reply at all.

Also:

- She has full work rights.

- She applies with a Padova address, not a Polish one.

Her Italian is around B1 after a year of study. Improving, but not yet at the level where she could handle a client meeting or an Agenzia delle Entrate audit in Italian. English is fluent, plus Ukrainian, Russian and Polish.

So my questions for anyone who's been through this:

- Did you get hired before you had working-level Italian, or did you have to wait? How long did it actually take?

- Non-EU folks with valid working rights — did you find HR still filtered you out anyway? Did stating the permit type on the CV make any difference?

- Did recruiters and agencies do anything useful, or was it all networking and direct contact?

- Is 100+ applications with zero interviews normal for a foreigner in Italy, or does it point to something being wrong with the CV?

Any experience welcome, especially from people who landed in the Veneto rather than Milan.

Grazie / thanks
