China curbs Nvidia chip imports as regulatory risks mount

US export controls have sharply reduced legitimate supply routes for Nvidia's AI chips, causing prices to double on China's black market, according to Moneycontrol. Chinese customs authorities are now blocking shipments of Nvidia's H200 chips—even those previously cleared under the official 25% US tariff regime—which curtails the company's ability to access and serve the Chinese market, as Moneycontrol notes. Additionally, Beijing's warning to Chinese technology firms against purchasing these restricted chips has amplified regulatory uncertainty and jeopardized Nvidia's future sales channels in the region, according to Startupfortune.

Oversold momentum and sell signals as resistance holds

NVDA currently trades below the 20-period moving average at $206.17 and the 50-period moving average at $212.34 on the four-hour chart, while holding above the 200-period moving average at $190.23 on the daily timeframe. The Ichimoku Kijun on the daily chart marks resistance at $210.13. Momentum indicators show weakness: the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) and Awesome Oscillator are both registering Sell signals, and the Average Directional Index (ADX) is Neutral. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) stands at 38.67 (Sell), while the Stochastic RSI, Commodity Channel Index (CCI), and Bull/Bear Power all read as Oversold, highlighting strong selling pressure alongside signals of potential short-term exhaustion.

Consolidation likely as market weighs resistance break

For the next two to three trading days, NVDA is expected to consolidate in a typical volatility band between $193.74 and $207.72. The baseline scenario is for price action to remain within this range as the market digests recent developments. Should upward momentum return and price breach the $210.13 resistance, renewed buying could drive further gains. Conversely, a break below $193.74 would point to continued downside risk, allowing sellers to extend control.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, Traders Union expert, sees regulatory risks from both the US and China clouding Nvidia’s outlook in the region. He believes fundamental and macro headwinds now limit near-term upside, yet the stock’s long-term story remains compelling given ongoing demand for AI. Consolidation in the $193.74–$207.72 range looks likely as the market absorbs the news. "Despite regulatory friction, I see any period of weakness as an opportunity for medium- and long-term investors willing to look past near-term uncertainty."

In a recent review, analysts highlighted that persistent technical resistance regulatory headwinds and insider selling had increased the risk of further downside for Nvidia shares. The latest developments—marked by additional Chinese import restrictions and continued selling pressure—reinforce the cautious outlook, with traders advised to watch the $210.13 resistance for potential shifts in sentiment.
