Nvidia stock price faces test at $145 resistance as rally stalls near key technical ceiling
Nvidia (NVDA) price consolidates below resistance, testing breakout potential near $145
Nvidia Corporation (NVDA) is once again in the spotlight as the stock hovers near a crucial resistance zone at $145, a level that has capped several breakout attempts in recent sessions. After rebounding sharply from April’s lows near $86, NVDA’s current move has taken it to the upper boundary of a multi-month supply area, also aligning with a critical Fibonacci retracement zone on the weekly chart.
Key highlights
- Nvidia price action stalls near $145 resistance, aligning with the 0.786 weekly Fibonacci retracement
- MACD and RSI signal short-term exhaustion even as price holds above major EMAs
- A breakout above $145 could target $153–$155, while failure risks pullback to $136–$139
On the daily chart, Nvidia’s stock is consolidating just beneath the $145 ceiling, a level that also served as a key supply zone earlier in 2025. The 0.786 Fibonacci retracement level, drawn from the 2024 peak to April 2025 lows, lies near $144.85, reinforcing this as a significant inflection zone. Price action remains above previous demand at $130–$135, indicating solid bullish footing. The recent rally has been supported by a rising trendline, though short-term charts reveal horizontal resistance that has yet to be convincingly breached.

The 4-hour and 30-minute charts show a narrowing range, with multiple rejections near $144 and support building around $139. A failure to break through could invite profit-taking, dragging price toward trendline and EMA confluence near $136.
Momentum signals cautious optimism
Short-term momentum is mixed. While the RSI on lower timeframes sits at a neutral 51, the MACD shows a soft bearish crossover, and the Stoch RSI remains in oversold territory. This suggests that bulls may be pausing, not retreating. The Ichimoku setup reflects similar ambiguity, with price holding above the Kumo but the flat Kijun and narrowing cloud signaling consolidation.
Meanwhile, NVDA maintains a structurally bullish stance, with all major EMAs (20/50/100/200) stacked positively on the 4-hour chart. Bollinger Bands are compressing, hinting at a volatility expansion—likely in either direction depending on the $145 outcome.
In our previous technical assessment of Nvidia, we highlighted the ongoing bullish trend as price broke above $130 with strong EMA alignment. The current pause near $145 was anticipated as a resistance test, with the breakout setup still valid if bullish momentum returns.
