Nvidia drops 2.01% amid chip shortage

Highlights

Ongoing chip shortages and tight export controls on advanced semiconductors are restricting Nvidia's ability to meet strong global AI hardware demand.
Sales of older GPUs to China have only partially offset export restrictions, leaving the outlook for advanced product access uncertain in major markets.
Despite near-term intraday seller pressure and mixed momentum indicators, NVDA is expected to consolidate above $214.70 with high probability of remaining in a narrow $215.30–$221.03 range over five days.

Global AI chip demand outpaces supply amid export restrictions

Nvidia’s CFO confirmed that severe chip shortages continue to affect its AI compute supply chain, including limited availability of high-bandwidth memory and networking components, as existing export controls on advanced semiconductor technology to China remain stringent. This has constrained the company’s ability to meet global demand and elevates operational risks, especially in key international markets. Reliance on the sale of older generation GPUs to China has provided only partial relief, with regulatory obstacles restricting access to more advanced products and contributing to an uncertain outlook.

Mixed momentum emerges as near-term resistance converges with neutral bias

Technical analysis highlights specific levels currently in play for NVDA: the MA-20 sits at $214.71, with the MA-50 and MA-200 down at $196.79 and $187.03, respectively. The Ichimoku Kijun line on the daily timeframe stands at $215.64, establishing near-term resistance immediately above price. Momentum signals remain mixed; the MACD on the daily chart continues to show strong upward momentum, while the ADX indicates trend weakness. RSI is neutral to slightly bullish, but both BBP and Stoch RSI suggest intraday oversold conditions and persistent seller pressure. The Awesome Oscillator currently reads as neutral.

High rebound odds as consolidation persists above pivotal support

Over the next five trading days, NVDA is anticipated to range between $215.30 and $221.03, a typical volatility band relative to current levels. The likelihood of a rebound towards the upper part of this range is very high, with baseline expectations tilted toward sideways consolidation above the key $214.71 support. A bullish breakout above $215.64, the Ichimoku Kijun resistance, would likely target the upper end of the weekly range. Conversely, any sustained move below $214.70 could signal short-term weakness, but longer-term support around $196.79 remains structurally significant.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, Traders Union expert, sees Nvidia’s operational strength tempered by persistent supply chain bottlenecks and tight export controls, especially in China. He believes the company’s fundamentals remain robust, though near-term sentiment is cautious given elevated operational risks. Technical levels point to high probability of sideways consolidation, with a bullish breakout possible above $215.64. Macro drivers and sector-wide demand continue to support the stock despite short-term volatility. "If support holds at $214.71, I see a constructive setup for a rebound towards $221.03 this week."

Earlier, analysts noted that Nvidia’s robust financial results and capital return initiatives underscored a favorable outlook despite ongoing challenges from export restrictions and international market risks. The current focus on chip shortages and persistent operational constraints adds a new layer of caution, making the $215.64 resistance a critical level for traders to monitor as supply-side pressures shape near-term momentum.
