AI-driven credit upgrade and China market push amid broad selling pressure

Nvidia has begun offering its new Vera AI CPUs to Chinese clients, marking a significant step in regaining access to the Chinese market, which could support future sales as shipments may commence in August. Additional developments included a six-year hardware compute agreement with Sharon AI Holdings in Australia, securing multi-year demand for Nvidia's technology, and the company’s expanded shareholder return program, comprised of a dividend increase to $0.25 per share and authorization for up to $80 billion in share repurchases. S&P Global Ratings upgraded Nvidia's corporate credit rating to 'AA' on the back of strong AI-driven growth prospects, while a recent hire to lead government affairs in Washington, D.C. addressed ongoing U.S.-China policy complexities, though price action has remained under broader selling pressure.

Conflicting momentum signals as major averages and oscillators diverge

Technically, $204.14 aligns above the MA-20 but below the MA-50 on the H1 chart, while the price remains well above the MA-200 on the daily timeframe. Resistance is marked at the Ichimoku Kijun level of $205.37. The MACD presents a strong sell signal, whereas the ADX is neutral. RSI and CCI both indicate buying momentum, while Stoch RSI and Bull/Bear Power (BBP) signal overbought conditions. The Awesome Oscillator is neutral, highlighting mixed momentum, and today's session closed near the high after a moderate volatility range.

Downside risk favored as breakout levels define short-term range

In the short term, NVDA's expected trading range is projected between $198.75 and $209.53, consistent with typical volatility bands relative to current levels. The probability weighted outlook points toward a greater likelihood of a move lower, with a 33% chance of an upside scenario. Price is expected to remain within this range, with a breakout above $209.53 required to trigger a bullish scenario or a decline below $198.75 for further downside potential.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, notes that Nvidia’s recent commercial moves restore strategic demand channels, but technical signals remain mixed. He sees overhead resistance and overbought indicators capping upside, despite strong news flow around expansion and ratings upgrades. The analyst warns that price is still constrained within a defined range, with momentum fragile and downside risk elevated. "Until $209.53 is reclaimed, I remain cautious and will not chase the upside in current conditions."

Earlier, analysts noted that broader risk sentiment had strengthened on the back of major tech fundraising and geopolitical developments, providing support to technology stocks like Nvidia. Now, as new initiatives in AI hardware and expanded shareholder returns intersect with mixed technical momentum, traders should closely monitor a potential breakout above $209.53 or a drop below $198.75 to indicate the next directional move.
