StockInvest.us, 1 month ago
The NVIDIA stock price gained 3.43% on the last trading day (Monday, 6th Jan 2025), rising from $144.47 to $149.43. It has now gained 3 days in a row. It will be exciting to see whether it manages to continue gaining or take a minor break for the next few days. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 2.93% from a day low at $147.82 to a day high of $152.16. The price has risen in 7 of the last 10 days and is up by 14.35% over the past 2 weeks. Volume has increased on the last day along with the price, which is a positive technical sign, and, in total, 41 million more shares were traded than the day before. In total, 262 million shares were bought and sold for approximately $39.14 billion.
On Nov 22, 2024, it was reported that Jefferies gave NVDA a "Buy" grade with a "hold" action.
The stockis at the upper part of a wide and horizontal trend and normally this may pose a good selling opportunity but a break-up through the top trend line at $149.49 will give a strong buy signal and a trend shift could be expected.Given the current horizontal trend, you can expect NVIDIA stock with a 90% probability to be traded between $129.93 and $150.47 at the end of this 3-month period. A break of a horizontal trend is often followed by a large increase in the volume, and stock seldom manage to go directly from the bottom of a trend up to the top. Stock turning up in the middle of a horizontal trend are therefore considered to be potential runners.
The NVIDIA stock holds buy signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a positive forecast for the stock. Also, there is a general buy signal from the relation between the two signals where the short-term average is above the long-term average. On corrections down, there will be some support from the lines at $140.13 and $139.16. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals. A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Wednesday, December 18, 2024, and so far it has risen 15.92%. Further rise is indicated until a new top pivot has been found. Furthermore, there is a buy signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). Volume is rising along with the price. This is considered to be a good technical signal.
NVIDIA finds support from accumulated volume at $146.67 and this level may hold a buying opportunity as an upwards reaction can be expected when the support is being tested.
This stock has average movements during the day and with good trading volume, the risk is considered to be medium. During the last day, the stock moved $4.34 between high and low, or 2.93%. For the last week, the stock has had daily average volatility of 3.52%.
NVIDIA holds several positive signals, but we still don't find these to be enough for a buy candidate. At the current level, it should be considered as a hold candidate (hold or accumulate) in this position whilst awaiting further development.Due to some small weaknesses in the technical picture we have downgraded our analysis conclusion for this stock since the last evaluation from a Buy to a Hold/Accumulate candidate.
