The Setup — Aave

Aave recently made another run toward $100 but again found resistance, while support has emerged near $90 and the 50-day moving average. A break below support could usher in more bearish momentum, while bulls are hoping for another test — and an eventual break — of $100 resistance and the 200-day moving average.

What Wall Street’s Watching

BTC

Bitcoin briefly flirted with a multi-week low yesterday and at one point, was down about 2%. However, BTC rebounded on the day, finished near flat, and climbed toward $64,000 this morning. Bulls are hoping for further stabilization in the mid-$60K range before a potential push higher. Check out the charts for BTC. 

PLTR

Palantir shares jumped about 17% in premarket trading after the company beat earnings and revenue expectations and raised its full-year outlook. U.S. commercial revenue surged 149% year over year, helping ease concerns about rising competition from AI developers. Dig into the fundamentals for PLTR. 

CATCaterpillar is surging more than 10% in pre-market trading after beating earnings and revenue estimates. A record $72 billion backlog, up 92% year over year, helped ease concerns about demand for its power-generation equipment used in data centers. Check out the price targets on CAT.
