US Congress moves to restrict Nvidia AI chip sales to China

According to Benzinga, as of November 11, 2026, the US Congress is advancing three separate measures aimed at tightening restrictions on Nvidia's AI chip exports to China, introducing further uncertainty over future sales tied to legislative actions and shifts in US-China trade policy tied to the stance of former President Trump.

These proposed restrictions could significantly threaten Nvidia's access to the Chinese market, a major source of demand for its AI chips. The revenue risk emerges as policy actions may directly limit or block the company's ability to serve key customers in China, adding a layer of geopolitical uncertainty to its growth outlook.

Separately, Nvidia has experienced heightened security scrutiny after losing about $430 billion in market value in the wake of a spying scandal involving its CEO and alleged Chinese espionage as of November 2026, according to Theguardian. This existing regulatory environment may intensify the impact of any new export limits, amplifying headwinds for the company.

Regulatory risk limits upside as key resistances remain

With this macro risk backdrop, NVDA trades well below both its daily SMA50 and SMA200, highlighting the extent of its repositioning since regulatory challenges first emerged. The H4 Kijun at $192.94 currently acts as a resistance level as the stock navigates volatility tied to policy developments.

Short-term momentum is weak, with the RSI reading at 27.89 in oversold territory, and both MACD and ADX signaling continued selling pressure. Despite the current upward move, these technicals suggest that bullish momentum is not yet established as long as macro policy risks persist.

External policy risk remains decisive; watch resistance near $193

Policy clarity remains the key external factor for NVDA. If US legislative restrictions on AI chip exports to China become law, renewed selling could follow. Near-term stabilization for the stock would require holding below the resistance area around $193. A confirmed break above this level could indicate a shift in sentiment, but until then, macro-level risks dominate the outlook.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, Analyst at Traders Union, sees Nvidia facing serious macro and regulatory challenges. He notes that US policy proposals could shrink future Chinese sales and add volatility. Despite weak momentum, Karapetjanc remains constructive given Nvidia’s key position in AI and past resilience. He believes clarity on export rules will be the main catalyst. "If the stock holds below $193 amid policy headwinds, I view pullbacks as potential mid-term buy opportunities if fundamentals stabilize."

Earlier, analysts noted that Nvidia faced heightened governance and regulatory concerns, resulting in caution around the stock’s near-term prospects. The current analysis adds a new layer of uncertainty, emphasizing that further clarity on US legislative action regarding AI chip exports to China will be critical in determining the stock’s direction.
