Palantir Plunges Despite Stellar Earnings While Bitcoin Retreats - November 4, 2025 Trading Preview

โšก KEY MARKET ALERTS FOR TUESDAY NOVEMBER 4, 2025

BREAKING: S&P 500 futures down -1%, Nasdaq futures tumbling -1.3% as valuation concerns slam tech sector. Palantir Technologies fell more than 6% in premarket trading despite beating Wall Street's estimates and providing strong guidance Bloomberg. VIX spiking to 20 as market questions stretched AI valuations.

CRITICAL PRICE LEVELS:

  • PLTR: Closed $207.18, After-hours $198.36 (-4.26%)

  • AMD: Closed $259.65 (Reports earnings today)

  • BTC: Trading $106,617 (-1.19%)

  • UBER: $99.72 (Reports earnings today)

  • S&P 500 Futures: 6,815.25 (-0.98%)

๐ŸŽฏ WHAT TRADERS NEED TO KNOW RIGHT NOW

The global stock rally hit a speed bump as earnings from artificial-intelligence bellwether Palantir Technologies Inc. failed to impress and Wall Street executives warned of rich valuations Bloomberg. Despite posting exceptional growth numbers, PLTR's reaction highlights a critical market shift: fundamentals may no longer justify current valuations.

Michael Burry Makes Massive Bearish Bet: 80% of Michael Burry's portfolio consists of puts against Palantir (PLTR)andNvidia(PLTR) and Nvidia ( PLTR)andNvidia(NVDA), signaling major hedging against tech's extended run.

  3. Avoid chasing anything in first 30 minutes

MIDDAY (11:00 AM - 2:00 PM):

  1. Look for stabilization in tech names

  2. Watch for reversal patterns near 6,780-6,800 S&P support

  3. Scout entry points on strong names pulling back

AFTERNOON (2:00 PM - 4:00 PM):

  1. AMD earnings positioning (closes 4 PM)

๐ŸŽ“ MASTERMIND TAKEAWAYS

What Smart Money Is Doing:

  1. Taking Profits in Extended Tech - Don't fight the rotation

  2. Building Cash Positions - Volatility = opportunity

  3. Focusing on Quality - Earnings beats matter more than ever

  4. Avoiding FOMO - Wait for setups, don't chase

Critical Lessons from Today:

โœ… Great earnings โ‰  Higher stock prices (See: PLTR) โœ… Valuation always matters eventually (Multiple compression beginning) โœ… Diversification remains key (Tech-only portfolios getting crushed) โœ… Cash is a position (Patience will be rewarded)

๐Ÿš€ FINAL WORD: NAVIGATING THE VALUATION RESET

Today marks a potential inflection point in the market. After months of relentless tech gains, we're seeing the first real pushback from investors questioning whether fundamentals support current prices.

The Good News: Earnings remain strong (UBER, PFE crushing estimates) The Bad News: Valuations stretched, and markets won't pay any price

Best Approach:

  1. Raise cash from extended positions

  2. Protect profits with stops

  3. Create watchlists of quality names you want at lower prices

  4. Stay disciplined - The best traders wait for their pitch

Remember: Volatility creates opportunity. The traders who stay calm and execute their plans will profit from others' panic.
