Elon Musk Contributes to NVDA Price Surge to a New Record

Yesterday, on Tuesday, Nvidia's stock price reached a historic high, surpassing the $1,130 mark, increasing by almost 7% relative to Monday's closing price. This happened after a turbulent past week, during which Nvidia published a very strong report that led to an over 8% rise in its stock price in one day.

Thus, since the beginning of May, NVDA's price has increased by approximately 34%. The latest surge in bullish sentiment was driven by the news that Elon Musk's company xAI is purchasing Nvidia AI chips for a new powerful supercomputer.

Investor’s Business Daily reports that in a presentation for investors, Musk stated that:
→ xAI will require up to 100,000 specialised semiconductors for training and launching the next version of its AI chatbot, Grok.
→ The supercomputer will use Nvidia H100 graphics processors.
→ Musk hopes to bring the supercomputer, which he referred to as a “gigafactory of computation,” online by autumn 2025.

Analysing NVDA's stock price last week, we:
→ Updated the upward channel;
→ Suggested that on a bullish impulse, NVDA’s price could approach the median line of the upward channel.

Technical analysis of the 4-hour NVDA stock chart today shows that:
→ The price is in the median line zone (which may act as resistance);
→ RSI is at its highest in a year.

Considering these factors, it is reasonable to assume that the market is excessively overbought and vulnerable to a pullback. A 1:10 stock split scheduled for 10 June could play a role. While Nvidia shares will become more accessible to a broader range of investors (a bullish sign), it is possible that the "buy the rumour, sell the news" principle may apply, and after a series of positive events for NVDA stock, its price may correct towards the lower boundary of the 2024 upward channel and possibly test the gap area (shown in purple).
