PLTR Price Prediction: Staring Down the Upper Band — Can Palantir Break $190 or Is a Shakeout Coming？

Terrill Dicki　　Sep 22, 2026 13:19　　Palantir is pressing against Bollinger upper-band resistance at $183.73 with near-zero MACD conviction and a Stochastic deep in overbought territory — a short-term pullback toward $174–$178 is the …　　Palantirs AI Revenue Machine Meets a Technically Exhausted Chart　　Palantir came into September 22 trading at $183.73, up nearly 2.84% on the session, with the day‘s range pinned between $176.90 and $184.67. That’s a tight, purposeful range — and it tells you exactly where the tension is. At the current price, PLTR is sitting within $1.22 of its Bollinger upper band at $184.95, with a %B of 0.94. Thats not a bullish runway — thats a ceiling.　　The fundamental backdrop is genuinely exceptional. Q2 2026 revenue exploded 92.8% year-over-year and Q1 2026 U.S. revenue doubled at 104% YoY. Palantir‘s Rule of 40 score hit 145% in Q1 — a number that puts it in the same conversation as Nvidia on a pure AI infrastructure growth basis. The company raised full-year 2026 revenue guidance to $7.65–$7.66 billion, implying 71% growth. Net income on a trailing basis clocks in at $3.02 billion against revenue of $6.16 billion, producing a profit margin of 49%. These aren’t the numbers of a speculative tech story

Vitalik Buterin Endorses Trueo as Prediction Market Moves to Ethereum

Trueo says the shift is about Ethereums integrations and philosophy, not dissatisfaction with Base or its place among competing networks.　　Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has welcomed Trueos planned migration from Base to Ethereum mainnet, describing it as a new prediction-market contender focused on decentralization and ethical design.　　The move puts Trueos dispute-resolution system and plans for wider DeFi integration at the center of its pitch as prediction markets face legal scrutiny and competition.　　Trueo Says Ethereum Fits Its Long-Term Plans　　In a post on X, Buterin praised the project for being “dedicated to decentralization, and being ethical and not corposlop,” adding that he was glad to see a team trying to do “interesting and meaningful things” with prediction markets.　　Trueo announced the move on September 21, explaining that it first launched on Base in March 2025. The team described the Layer 2 network as a useful environment for early experimentation, when the Ethereum mainnet gas costs were higher and parts of the application were still experimental.　　But Trueo now wants to build a platform that is “widely adopted, broadly integrated, fully permissionless, mostly immutable, and highly credible.” It believes Ethereum is a better fit for that goal because of its network effects and global integrations, as

Coinbase plans post-quantum Bitcoin custody for any scheme

Coinbase has begun designing a post-quantum custody system intended to protect about $250 billion in institutional assets while supporting any new signature scheme adopted by Bitcoin or another blockchain.　　Coinbase prepares custody for several signature schemes　　MARA Foundation TV hosted Coinbase Chief Cryptographer Yehuda Lindell, who said the exchange wants its custody platform to remain usable regardless of which post-quantum signature schemes blockchains eventually select.　　Bitcoin has not chosen a signature scheme for practical post-quantum use, leaving custodians without a single technical standard around which to rebuild their systems. Lindell said different blockchain communities may also reach different decisions instead of adopting one common scheme.　　Coinbase is therefore preparing for several possible outcomes rather than building its system around one candidate. Lindell said the company wants to avoid a situation in which a blockchain approves a signature scheme that its custody infrastructure cannot handle.　　The work carries added weight because Coinbase holds about $250 billion in assets for institutional customers, according to the figure Lindell gave during the program. Its clients include BlackRock, which uses Coinbase Custody for digital assets connected to its investment products.　　An August U.S. custody review placed Coinbases institutional assets at approximately $376 billion and said the company safeguards more than 80%

US stablecoin adoption could surge with bank-like protections: Visa survey

Visa released the results of a survey signaling that bank-level fraud protection and insurance could drive adoption in stablecoins for cross-border transactions among US users.　　In a survey of 2,192 US-based customers published on Wednesday, Visa said that the “adoption intention” of stablecoins among US users could climb from 36% to 56% “in a hypothetical scenario with bank-level fraud protection and deposit insurance.” The findings conducted by Morning Consult between February and March showed that Americans who were asked about financial terms like stablecoins were looking for faster and cheaper methods to send money abroad.　　“Nearly two-thirds (64%) [of respondents] say trust depends more on who offers a payment method than on the tech itself,” said Visa. “Willingness to use stablecoins rises from 36% to 45% when offered through an existing financial provider.”　　The survey posited bank-like protections for stablecoin issuers in the US at a time when companies are preparing for the enactment of the Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for US Stablecoins (GENIUS) Act. The bill awaits finalized rules from key US financial agencies ahead of its effective date, expected in January 2027.　　Related: Stablecoin cross-border flows surge 78%, defying crypto bear market 　　Unlike products from traditional financial institutions like banks, stablecoins

CFTC Chair Is Preparing For 'On-Chain' Markets

Commodity Futures Trading Commission Chair Mike Selig has said that the regulator was preparing for the transition of markets moving “24-7, on-chain.”　　Speaking to CNBC on Wednesday, the regulator said that it was an exciting time to be regulating markets related to crypto and artificial intelligence.　　The CFTC is fast pushing ahead with rulemaking for the crypto space, despite lawmakers last week blocking the long-awaited Clarity Act. Following the vote on the landmark crypto legislation, Selig said that the watchdog would still help U.S. President Trump “get the job done” in regulating digital assets.　　Discover more　　Enterprise blockchain solutions　　FINANCE　　Research Municipal Bonds　　“Our markets are rapidly evolving,” Selig said. “We really have to reevaluate all of our rules and regulations to make sure that were ready and prepared for this transition to 24-7 on-chain and these automated markets that are facilitated through the use of algorithms and agentic finance.”　　The Clarity Act wants to formally divide oversight between regulators, distinguishing which digital assets are securities, commodities or stablecoins.　　But the bill stalled and stumbled this year as the banking lobby had issues with crypto companies paying customers stablecoin rewards and some lawmakers — mostly Democrats — were concerned about the ethics side of the legislation.　　Trump received backing from

Bank reserves and Bitcoin: Treasury repo proposal explained

At a New York Fed conference on Sept. 22, Treasury officials and market participants discussed whether the government should lend excess cash into the overnight repo market, which finances Treasury trades. Such a move could raise bank reserves. Treasury announced no repo-lending program, amount or timetable at the conference, and any benefit for Bitcoin would be indirect.　　Reuters reported that several private-sector panelists welcomed the idea. The Treasury Borrowing Advisory Committee had considered it in May and urged further study. For now, the discussion is about how Treasury might manage its cash, rather than an operating program.　　How a Treasury repo investment would work　　The Treasury General Account, or TGA, holds government operating cash at the Federal Reserve. In a May presentation, the advisory committee modeled what would happen if Treasury lent some of that cash overnight against Treasury securities. Money would leave the TGA, while bank reserves, the balances banks hold at the Fed, would rise. Treasury would earn a repo rate, and the Fed would pay interest on the additional reserves.　　The two public institutions have to be considered together. Treasurys interest earnings alone would not be the full government benefit, because additional reserves also bring an interest cost at the Fed.
