NVDA: A Bottom Taking Shape — Why a Near-Term Long Is Back on the Table


TMU Research
2025-09-08

NVIDIA (NVDA) finished +0.77% at $168.31 on Sep 8, 2025. The single-day move was modest, but the behavior around recent lows stands out. Below, we review the technical picture, category-level sentiment, market context, and a practical plan for trading a potential bottoming phase.

Broad market (SPY): +0.25% d/d, +0.58% 5d, 10-day trend +0.06% Semis (SOXX): +0.73% d/d, +1.49% 5d, 10-day trend −0.01% Market stage: Anxiety NVDA 5-day: −3.4% · 10-day trend −0.55%
What drives price in the near term? Three inputs work together: (1) technical setup (patterns and levels), (2) sentiment (expectations reflected in headlines and commentary), and (3) events (news that confirm or challenge those expectations). Sentiment here is scored from −10 to +10 by scanning headlines and sorting them into categories, giving more weight to recent items and those drawing greater attention. A +3 reads bullish; a +5 is very bullish. A −3 reads bearish; a −5 is very bearish.

1) Company fundamentals

NVIDIA builds the computing platform behind modern AI—GPUs, high-speed networking, and software that connects them. The stock trades at about P/E 47.95, a level that assumes durable revenue growth across data centers, inference, and accelerated computing. The next earnings date is November 19, 2025, with a current EPS estimate near $3.51.

2) Technical setup: signs of a base

Price has been probing the same area with smaller declines followed by quick rebounds—typical action when sellers tire and buyers begin to lean in. On their own, chart patterns tend to win about 55% of the time, but combining them with supportive sentiment often lifts the edge toward 70–75%. Our current read on NVDA’s setup: Bullish 55%, Neutral 30%, Bearish 15%.

3) Sentiment by category

Overall sentiment is +1.8 with a 7-day change of +0.2. The bars below are green for positive readings and red for negative readings.

Company sentiment by category (−10 to +10). Green = positive, Red = negative.

Context behind the scores

  • Stock Performance (0.1): A split set of views—some calling for downside toward $150, others pointing to longer-term targets—keeps this near neutral.
  • Industry Trend (5.5): Structural demand for AI compute remains the primary driver, with data center build-outs and inference workloads supporting spending plans.
  • Company Earnings (7): Recent results and estimates reflect strong sales trends and healthy visibility, even as the competitive backdrop evolves.
  • Competitive Advantages (7.7)): Leadership in accelerated computing and a broad platform approach support sustained share and pricing power.
  • Regulation Impact (−4.8): Export rules and broader AI policy developments remain a headwind and can affect unit mix and timing.

4) Market and news flow

On September 8, the tape was influenced by rate-cut discussions and the ECB meeting. NVIDIA-specific headlines included a major conference appearance and a mix of analyst notes. Updates on supply, product timing, and large customer deployments would reinforce the constructive view; any tightening of export restrictions would work the other way.

5) Near-term outlook

With the broader market in an anxious phase and NVDA’s own tone leaning toward excitement, swings can be brisk. Our combined gauge—bullish probability minus bearish probability, adjusted by sentiment—lands near +60. The bottom pattern and a long bias align as buyers defend the mid-$160s while bands begin to narrow.

6) Key risks

  • Regulation (−4.8): Additional restrictions on advanced products could weigh on volume and pricing.
  • Competition: Faster product cycles from peers and cloud providers can compress share or margins.
  • Macro: If expectations for easier policy fade, equity risk premiums can rise and pressure leaders.
  • Positioning: A crowded ownership base can amplify downside on negative surprises.

7) Volatility drivers

High readings in Earnings and Competitive Advantages against a negative Regulation score create dispersion across narratives. That mix often increases headline sensitivity. Expect sharper moves around policy updates, supply commentary, and enterprise demand signals.

8) Trading plan

  • Entry: Consider a staged approach in the $166–$170 area. Use your preferred tools—moving averages, RSI divergences, or anchored VWAP—to refine timing.
  • Risk: A stop a few ATRs below the lower Bollinger Band helps filter routine noise.
  • Adds: Add on a close back above the middle band with improving volume.
  • Exits: Trim into prior supply between $175–$182. Trail a stop under the rising middle band or the most recent higher low. Reduce quickly on adverse policy headlines.
