CNBC's Jim Cramer suggested on Tuesday that NVIDIA Corp. (NASDAQ:NVDA) may have reached a key turning point after the stock touched $127, potentially signaling a bottom for the semiconductor giant's recent pullback.
What Happened: "We may have hit a possible crescendo for Nvidia's stock when it hit the $127 mark. Could be a moment where everyone who wanted to sell did so," Cramer wrote on X, formerly Twitter. This marks a shift from his Monday warning when he predicted a "vicious" and "fast" reversal for the chipmaker.
