Despite weakness across most of its end markets and industry-wide inventory issues, Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) spiked about 86% year-to-date. The surge in NVDA stock reflects its dominant positioning in the AI (Artificial Intelligence) space, as most of the AI computing infrastructure is with Nvidia. While the popularity of OpenAI’s ChatGPT and ongoing investments in generative AI could support NVDA’s growth, its technical indicators reveal that the rally could cool off.
