Nvidia's stock is facing downward pressure as investors react to mixed economic signals and broader market trends. The chipmaker's shares have been under scrutiny, particularly after falling below a critical 7% loss threshold from a previous buy point, which triggered a sell signal. This decline has been exacerbated by the stock's position below its 50-day moving average, a key technical indicator. The broader market environment has also played a role, with major indices like the Dow Jones, S&P 500, and Nasdaq opening lower, influenced by mixed November retail sales data and anticipation of the Federal Reserve's policy meeting. The potential for a rate cut has added to market uncertainty, prompting investors to reassess their positions.
The Direxion Daily NVDA Bull 2X Shares (NVDU) experienced a decline, dropping 3.50% to $88.78 at 2:00 PM on Tuesday, December 17.
