Chart of the Day
๐ Todayโs Chart of the Day was shared by TrendSpider (@TrendSpider).
- Nvidia ($NVDA) wiped out over $200 billion in market cap today. As the third largest stock in the S&P 500, it was responsible for most of today's weakness.
- The stock plummeted -10%, marking its worst day in four years. It's still up +53.9% this year but down -19.8% from record highs.
- TrendSpider points out that $NVDA is testing its year-to-date anchored VWAP after breaking down from a Descending Triangle pattern. This was also a textbook Head & Shoulders Top when viewed in a line chart..
The takeaway: $NVDA tumbled -10% to its lowest in nearly two months. It's the 3rd best stock in the S&P 500 this year, up +53.8% YTD. However, those YTD gains are at risk if $NVDA violates its YTD AVWAP.
