What stands out

Palo Alto Networks climbed toward record highs after CrowdStrike and Okta handed the cybersecurity group a fresh lift, and all eyes are now on PANW's earnings next week. On Schwab Network, Rick Ducat walks the chart, explains why momentum and key strike prices matter, and even lays out a concrete options trade so viewers can see how traders price earnings risk. This matters because in group rallies a single quarter can reshape sentiment quickly, and options players will watch implied volatility just as closely as the headline numbers.
