A technical strategist has warned that Nvidia’s (NASDAQ: NVDA) dominance in artificial intelligence might be challenged due to its enormous valuation.
In this context, Blue Chip technical analyst Larry Tentarelli offered a cautious yet optimistic outlook for the chipmaker, warning that the company’s $3.6 trillion market capitalization might hinder its ability to outperform smaller players in the AI scene, as noted in an X post on November 22.
Despite this warning, Tentarelli pointed out that Nvidia will likely continue benefiting from broader AI demand in fields such as data centers, networking, and cloud computing.

He suggested that the market has responded positively to Nvidia’s recent updates on AI demand, signaling continued enthusiasm for the sector.
“NVDA probably won’t be the top performing AI stock going forward, due to its $3.6T market cap – but the strength today in AI beneficiaries (data center buildout, networking, cloud, nuclear) shows that the market heard what it needed to about AI demand,” he said.
Notably, during its Q3 2024 earnings report, Nvidia delivered strong results, reporting adjusted earnings of 81 cents per share—topping estimates of 75 cents—and revenue of $35.08 billion, exceeding the expected $33.16 billion.
The company forecasted current-quarter sales of $37.5 billion, slightly above analysts’ $37.08 billion estimate. This implies 70% year-over-year growth—a slowdown from last year’s 265%.
NVDA stock price analysis
Regarding NVDA share price movement, Tentarelli noted that the equity is exhibiting promising signs from a technical perspective.
The stock has had an impressive run throughout 2024 but appears to be consolidating below the $152 resistance level. Tentarelli observed that if Nvidia can close above this level soon, it could pave the way for a rally toward $175—a potential 16% upside from current levels.
Currently, Nvidia is holding firmly above its 50-day simple moving average—a sign of bullish momentum. However, the declining trading volume indicates that investors might be awaiting a decisive breakout before increasing their positions.
Meanwhile, Nvidia’s share price has experienced volatility since the earnings report, failing to hold above the crucial $150 level.
At the close of the last trading session, NVDA stock was valued at $146.67, ending the day up 0.53%. Ahead of the November 22 trading session, the stock is exhibiting weakness, down 0.5%.
What’s next for Nvidia
Following the recent earnings report, analysts have offered mixed outlooks for Nvidia’s stock at a time when the company is expected to roll out its next-generation Blackwell chips, which have previously faced delays and overheating concerns.
