Alerting About NVDA's Upside Ahead of +45% Rally

On January 24, we alerted MPTrader members to an opportunistic technical setup in NVDA, writing:
"NVDA Bottom Line: When I zoom out for a view of all of the price action for the past 8 months, I can make a compelling case that a very powerful base-accumulation period and pattern have developed that is putting intense upward pressure on the 198-200 multi-month resistance-upside breakout zone that if hurdled, will trigger an intermediate-term projection to at least 218-224, and an outlier upside target zone closer to 280. As long as any forthcoming weakness is contained by support lodged from 178 down to 167.30, NVDA deserves the benefit of the doubt on the upside for the next 1 to 3 months... Last is 189.83."
Fast-forward 8 weeks to last week's trading where NVDA hit a high of 275.89, up 155% from its October 2022 major corrective low at 108.13, and up 45% from where it was trading when we initially alerted MPTrader members!
What's next for NVDA? As much as I would like to tell members that NVDA still has much higher to climb, my current read on the technical and fundamental situation indicates that in the nearer-term timeframe, NVDA is showing signs of technical stress that I usually associate with approaching upside exhaustion ahead of a meaningful pullback.
In addition, NVDA recently has been the recipient of a lot of positive press and Wall Street hype about its central chip design and production position uniquely suited to supply the forthcoming explosion in Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications. That said, based on our current setup work, while NVDA is a long-term "hold," we are very cautious near term and look for a substantial bout of profit-taking weakness (20% plus) before another sustained up-leg is likely to emerge.
Join me and our MPTrader member community today to participate in our ongoing intraday discussions about NVDA, and other AI-focused names such as MSFT, GOOG, and ADBE, as well as discussions about the technical and fundamental setups in individual stocks, ETFs, Macro Indices, Commodities, Precious Metals, and Bitcoin.

In the early afternoon on April 11, this was my note to our members:"IBIT (iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF)-- From a trading perspective, anyone who is in sync with the Bitcoin setup might consider owning IBIT (iShares Bitcoin ETF) against a stop below its 4/07/25 low at 42.98 (see my attached Daily Chart below)...
Last Thursday (4/17/25) afternoon, ahead of NFLX (Netflix) post-close earnings report and the three-day Good Friday holiday weekend, we discussed the technical setup and whether or not the NFLX pattern was positioned to react positively to the news : The NFLX setup heading into Earnings later today is favorable for upside continuation above the prior two rally highs at 993.45 (4/15) and 998.70 (3/25), but not to a new ATH above 1064.
Last Thursday afternoon (4/10/25), the commentary below is what I discussed with MPTrader members about my Big Picture technical setup work: Tomorrow is the final session of the week. We get some big bank Earnings and PPI before the open, and more than likely, one or more POTUS televised events that undoubtedly will move markets one way or other. Technically, tomorrow's (Friday) close will be important to my Weekly Chart Work.
At the beginning of last week, fellow members Rayray and GordonGekko asked for my technical setup work on BX (Blackstone Inc). This is what we discussed on the morning of March 25, 2025:My attached Daily Chart shows the November 2024 to mid-March 2025 correction (-32%) followed by the recovery rally from 135.60 to 153.18.
On March 10, 2025, fifteen minutes before the closing bell and Oracle's forthcoming Earnings Report, below was the analysis I posted to the MPTrader Discussion Room about ORCL:"... My preferred scenario indicates a negative reaction to the news that sends ORCL reeling to test important support at 139.50-141.20-- where ORCL MUST reverse to the upside to avert triggering still lower projections into the 118-123 (back the truck up) target window... Last is 149.32"...
