This "flash crash" felt like a sudden storm out of nowhere. Closing at $140.140 with a steep drop of 6.22%, NVIDIA delivered a rude awakening to many investors. Reports indicate that traders were massively offloading call options, and the lack of short-term catalysts shifted market sentiment from "euphoria" to "ice cold" in an instant.
The reasons behind NVIDIA's sharp decline can be summed up in three key points:
Missed Market Expectations: Despite the recent announcement of the RTX 50 series, the short-term catalysts that the market was hoping for did not materialize. In other words, “the story sounded good, but there was no real surprise,” leaving investors disappointed.
Options Market Sell-Off: Traders dumping call options added immense selling pressure to NVIDIA’s stock in a short period, creating a "snowball effect" of emotional selling that accelerated the decline.
Profit-Taking Pressure: NVIDIA's recent rally, fueled by the AI boom, has been remarkable. However, profit-taking was inevitable, and this correction reflects that.
Technical Overview: NVIDIA's stock has now fallen below its 5-day and 10-day moving averages, indicating a clear weakening in the short-term trend. Additionally, the Bollinger Band middle line (around $140) has become a critical support for the bulls. If this level breaks, the stock may further test the Bollinger Band lower boundary at $130.
• Short-Term Support: $138. This is a key level, coinciding with the Bollinger Band middle line and the previous consolidation range. If this level is breached, the next stop could be $130.
• Short-Term Resistance: $145. The bulls need to reclaim this level to start repairing the current bearish momentum.
Trading Strategy:
• Short-Term: If the stock holds above $138, consider buying the dip for a potential rebound. If it breaks below, watch for support at $130.
• Mid-Term: If NVIDIA can break through $145, it may re-enter an upward consolidation channel, with a medium-term target of $150-$160.
