Nvidia's Surge: Can It Break Through Resistance and Head Towards $130?
A New Rally in the Making
On September 11, Nvidia's CEO Jensen Huang set off a significant rally in the U.S. stock market with his remarks at a Goldman Sachs technology conference. Citing "massive AI chip demand" and "customer tensions," Huang’s comments helped erase earlier losses, culminating in a V-shaped rebound with technology and chip stocks like Nvidia $NVIDIA Corp(NVDA)$ leading the charge. The question now is whether this rally represents the end of the recent selloff or if it is merely a temporary resurgence.
Technical Analysis: Signs of a Bullish Reversal
A closer look at Nvidia’s daily trading chart shows promising signs of a bullish reversal. The stock has formed a bullish triangle pattern, and the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator has executed a golden cross below the zero axis. These technical indicators suggest a potential upward momentum, contingent on the stock breaking through a significant resistance level.

Key Resistance Ahead
The immediate challenge for Nvidia is to overcome the resistance at the short-term downtrend line, currently at $123.54. A decisive break above this level could confirm the bullish sentiment and pave the way for further gains, potentially pushing the stock towards the $130 mark.

Fundamental Backdrop: AI Demand and New Developments
Fundamentals also support a bullish outlook for Nvidia. Recent developments include Oracle’s announcement about its new "zettascale" AI supercomputer, powered by up to 131,072 Nvidia Blackwell chips. This underscores the growing demand for Nvidia's technology in cutting-edge AI applications.
On the financial front, Nvidia’s stock has been a significant contributor to the S&P 500's gains this year, with a whopping 140% surge in Nvidia shares accounting for about a quarter of the index’s 17% increase. This outsized influence was evident on September 11, when Nvidia’s 8.2% rally played a crucial role in the S&P 500's substantial intraday upswing.
Market Dynamics: Nvidia and the Broader Market
Nvidia’s recent performance and its pivotal role in market movements have revived concerns about the influence of a handful of tech stocks on the broader market. While this concentration poses risks, the current enthusiasm around AI technology suggests that Nvidia’s impact could continue to be disproportionately positive.
Conclusion
As Nvidia approaches a critical resistance level, the broader implications of its performance on market sentiment and future tech trends are considerable. With strong fundamentals and a promising technical setup, Nvidia appears well-positioned for another rally. However, traders and investors will need to watch market movements closely, particularly any further statements from corporate leaders like Jensen Huang that could influence market dynamics. The coming weeks will be crucial in determining whether Nvidia can sustain its momentum and breach the $130 level once again.
