Nvidia Breaks To New All-Time High, Flashes Signal The Local Top Is In: This NVDA Bear ETF Offers Leverage

Nvidia Corporation NVDA opened about 6.6% higher on Thursday after printing better-than-expected second-quarter earnings and announcing a $25 billion share buyback.

Benzinga predicted Nvidia was likely to trade higher on Thursday, due to the uptrend the stock has been trading in since Aug. 14. When the semi-conductor and AI stock opened Thursday’s trading session, it reached a new all-time high but began to drop on high volume, almost completely closing the lower gap, before popping up slightly higher.

Although Nvidia remains in an uptrend, a pullback is likely to come over the next few days because the stock will need to print a higher low and its relative strength index (RSI) is edging toward the 70% mark.

The Nvidia Chart: Nvidia is likely to retrace on Friday or on Monday because the stock is working to print a hanging man candlestick on the daily chart. When a hanging man candlestick is found at the top of an uptrend, it can indicate the local top has occurred and a retracement is on the horizon.

• Nvidia’s RSI is measuring in at about 65%, which indicates the stock is trending toward overbought territory. When a stock’s RSI reaches or exceeds the 70% mark, it can be a sell signal for technical traders.
• When Nvidia retraces to at least print its next higher low, bullish traders want to see the stock hold above the eight-day exponential moving average (EMA), which has been guiding the stock higher this week. A loss of that area could be an exit strategy for short-term traders.
• Nvidia has resistance above at the psychologically important $490 and $500 levels and support below at $481.87 and at $439.90.

• On Thursday, NVDS’s RSI was measuring in at about 35%, which suggests the ETF is trending toward oversold territory, making a rebound a likely scenario. If the ETF continues to trend higher over the next few trading days, traders bullish on NVDS want to see the ETF regain the eight-day EMA as support.
• NVDA has resistance above at $35.01 and at $40.30 and support below at $32.93 and the psychologically important $30 level.
