Analysts issue Nvidia sell-off alert; Is the AI King’s reign over?

Analysts issue Nvidia sell-off alert; Is the AI King’s reign over?
Ana Zirojevic

As Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) shares continued to decline from their all-time high (ATH) reached in mid-June, it seems that this record marked the top for the technology behemoth, at least according to an investment research company founded by renowned investor and analyst Puru Saxena.

Indeed, Saxena said that his research firm AlphaTarget has sold its remaining Nvidia stocks and issued an alert to its subscribers, which featured an analysis of NVDA stock performance, right before closing its final two positions and booking the gains, as per his X post on July 25.

According to the expert, the “‘AI King’ – run seems to be over,” and the subscriber note states that several weeks before, the company had sold half of its Nvidia shares at around $138, and on July 24, it was selling its entire position, as well as supporting its analysis with a weekly chart.

Specifically, the analysts pointed out that this chart confirmed that Nvidia had “peaked at $140.76 and promptly dipped to $118.04,” followed by a brief rally, after which “sellers came in ~$136 (lower high), and this week, it has sliced through its recent low,” adding that:

“For weeks, we have been sounding the alarm on NVIDIA, and given the fact that this stock is still ~45% above its 40-week moving average and it is now breaking down, we are booking our gains.”

Nvidia stock price analysis

At press time, the price of Nvidia shares stood at $115.37, recording an 8.97% drop in the past week, as well as accumulating a loss of 8.74% over the last month, albeit still holding onto the impressive 139.59% gain so far in 2024, according to the latest chart data retrieved on July 26.

So, why is Nvidia stock going down today? Notably, recent concerns over American tech export restrictions have caused Nvidia stocks to decline despite the launch of its new flagship artificial intelligence (AI) chip for the Chinese market, and insiders have sold nearly $400 million in NVDA stock in July.

All things considered, the experienced analysts at AlphaTarget seem convinced that this is it for Nvidia shares and are taking their profits. However, trends in the stock market can easily change, so doing one’s own research and keeping up with any relevant news (e.g. NVDA stock split) is important when investing.
