Death Cross Pattern Appears for NVIDIA Stock: Buy, Hold, or Sell?
One of the most sought-after semiconductor behemoths, NVIDIA Corp., recently flashed a bearish chart pattern amid regulatory headwinds. So, what's next for NVIDIA investors? Do they sell the stock, or do they believe in NVIDIA's inherent strength and hang on to it? Let's find out.
Death Cross Pattern Emerges; NVIDIA Stock Slumps
Several chip stocks, including NVIDIA, suffered losses on Wednesday. The stock slipped 5.7% yesterday, while a death cross pattern emerged last week. This means NVIDIA's short-term 50-day moving average (DMA) has dropped below its long-term 200 DMA, signaling a looming downtrend.
On Wednesday, the NVIDIA stock finished at $113.76, while the 50-DMA was $125.86 below the 200-DMA, which was $127.72. The last time NVIDIA stock faced a death cross was in April 2022, causing its shares to tank 50% over the next six months before hitting its lowest point in October 2022.
Technical Indicator & Overlays – NVIDIA
The possibility of stricter regulations on NVIDIA's chips in China hurt its shares. Compounding the decline was the U.S. government's move to add several Chinese companies to a trade blacklist for national security reasons, adversely impacting NVIDIA's sales.
Can NVIDIA Stock Bounce Back?
Undeniably, regulators from China are discouraging its tech firms from buying NVIDIA's H20 chips due to energy efficiency violations. However, sales of H20s are unaffected as rules are not strictly enforced, and NVIDIA intends to meet with regulators to address the issue.
Similarly, NVIDIA has successfully navigated U.S. regulatory challenges in the past and shown resilience to such issues. Anyhow, $100 is a strong support level for the NVIDIA stock. If it breaks below this, it could signal a long-term downward trend. NVIDIA had previously tested this level in August and September, only to rebound to an all-time high of $150.
In reality, insane demand for NVIDIA's next-generation cutting-edge Blackwell chips and dominance in the graphic processing units (GPUs) market would drive its share price upward. Magnificent-7 stocks such as Alphabet Inc. and Microsoft Corp. have chosen Blackwell chips due to their solid energy efficiency level and faster AI interface.
A market share of more than 80% in the discrete GPU space gives NVIDIA a competitive edge, and its CUDA software platform continues to gain prominence among developers over Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.'s ROCm software platform.
NVIDIA Is Financially Robust
Despite the current price fluctuations, NVIDIA remains a financially strong company. It saw its revenues climb 114% to $130 billion in fiscal 2025 (ended in January) and expects sales to jump 65% year over year in the first quarter.
NVIDIA has often generated profits efficiently. This is because the firm's net profit margin of 55.9% is more than the Semiconductor - General industry's 48.6%, indicating a high margin.
How to Trade NVIDIA Stock Now
Given strong financials, high demand for the Blackwell chip, and GPU dominance, the recent share price dip should not concern NVIDIA stakeholders. Instead, they should hold onto the stock for strong gains in the future.
However, new buyers should wait for an opportune moment to invest in the NVIDIA stock due to its current volatility. NVDA, at this time, has a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 (Strong Buy) Rank stocks here

From thousands of stocks, 5 Zacks experts each have chosen their favorite to skyrocket +100% or more in months to come. From those 5, Director of Research Sheraz Mian hand-picks one to have the most explosive upside of all.
This company targets millennial and Gen Z audiences, generating nearly $1 billion in revenue last quarter alone. A recent pullback makes now an ideal time to jump aboard. Of course, all our elite picks aren’t winners but this one could far surpass earlier Zacks’ Stocks Set to Double like Nano-X Imaging which shot up +129.6% in little more than 9 months.
