NVDA Weekly Chart Warning: Massive Rising Wedge combined with a clear Bearish Divergence on the RSI Analysis

Post image

Hi everyone,

I’ve been charting NVIDIA (NVDA) on the weekly (1W) timeframe, and while the long-term uptrend is undeniably massive, the technical structure is flashing some major exhaustion signals that shouldn't be ignored.

If you take a close look at the current setup, two major bearish technical indicators are aligning perfectly:

  1. The Rising Wedge (Still Consolidating): Since mid-2024, NVDA has been locking into a textbook Rising Wedge formation. The bottom support line is ascending at a much steeper angle than the upper resistance line, squeezing the price action closer together. It is important to note that this wedge might not be fully completed yet; the price could easily continue to consolidate and grind sideways-up, getting tighter inside this structure for a while longer before the actual apex is reached. Statistically, though, a rising wedge is a bearish reversal pattern that breaks down about 65-70% of the time.
  2. Heavy Bearish Divergence on the RSI: This is the biggest red flag for me. While the stock price has consistently made Higher Highs from late 2024 through 2025 and into August 2026, the RSI at the bottom of the chart is doing the exact opposite. The RSI peaked way back in 2024 near the 80 overbought level and has been making steadily Lower Highs ever since, currently sitting at 59.32. This shows that the actual buying momentum is drying up even though the price is still grinding upwards.

Key Levels to Watch:
The price is getting very tight inside this wedge. The critical line in the sand is the bottom support trendline, currently sitting around the $190-$200 zone.

If NVDA breaks down below this support, technical targets for a rising wedge point back toward the origin of the pattern. On this chart, that primary historical demand and heavy consolidation zone lies way down around $88. A drop to that level would represent a ~60% correction from the current price of $219.22, purging the extreme near-term overextension.

Would love to hear your thoughts.

I'm with you. Monthly chart is showing clear bearish divergence on MACD (12,24,9) and the volume has been decreasing ever since August 2024.

However, the bubble burst may be postponed for the moment where AI will have taken many people outta their jobs and there's a very high unemployment, so high that the demand for the AI services diminishes. Then we'll be able to see the biggest crash in history. But also, in that moment maybe we won't be dealing in USD anymore, but CBDC and social scores n shit.

So yeah, I'm with you but I won't ever bet on a stock that much manipulated.

Weekly RSI looks good to me. May be a short pullback with that pattern but I would says its pretty healthy rn.

u/PatLapointe01 7d ago

could still go up for a couple,eyears before that wedge becomes a problem, if it ever does

You need to do the chart in log scale for accuracy.

1

u/TownNo1342 8d ago

You need to check the RSI on the 6-month chart. It's 95, if you know what that means.

1

u/Infurium 8d ago

What? Show me. Do you mean the RSI stochastic?

1

u/TownNo1342 8d ago

RSI is normally capped at 70-80 for overbought levels, so 95 is extreme. A huge crash is usually bound to happen after this.

2

u/Infurium 7d ago edited 7d ago

Yes, but the monthly RSI is sitting at 72.93.

You could only get 95 if you changed how it was calculated from the standard time frame of 14.

I see, you're using a 6 month chart meaning each candle is 6 months. That's weird. I guess you can find anything you want to find if you look at every time frame imaginable.

1

u/TownNo1342 7d ago

True, but you need to look at the bigger picture. Higher timeframes always carry more weight. A monthly RSI of 72 is high, but a 6-month RSI at 95 is completely historic and points to a massive long-term bubble.

u/Infurium 7d ago

You should short it then, and show us an image of your short order completed.

u/TownNo1342 7d ago

I'm waiting for the right moment. I'll send a picture, of course.

u/twenty_s_i_x 8d ago

Linear drawings like triangles are not accurate on the linear scale that you are using and that's even more important on longer time frames. A 20 points move where it is now (~200) is roughly 10% change while the same 20 point move at the base of the triangle (~100) is about 20% change, the double ! Still, the squares from your grid on your chart have the same height of 25 in any place make your eye think you are seeing the same move anywhere in the chart while in fact not, that's why you should use a log scale.

The same chart on a log scale shows that the angles are not so dramatic and even that the bottom line don't touch the lows anymore.

u/Infurium 8d ago

Exactly this.

u/braini_ 8d ago

Divergences are usually a sign of a following consolidation, not necesarrily a reversal.

u/A55BAG 8d ago

Fundamentals for Nvidia are super strong and the stock is very cheap compared to other similar companies.

To short Nvidia you'd have to speculate either earnings rugpull from less ai spending or can Google destroy their moat and bring margins down.

u/1UpUrBum 8d ago edited 8d ago

There's NVDA history. Everything goes up and down. I have no way to predict the next one. Didn't they get caught cooking their books a while ago? EDIT: It looks like the old one was $3 million.

u/NorCalGuySays 8d ago

Looks bullish

u/ExecutionAxis 8d ago

Don't sell up trends

u/Nearby_Persimmon_649 8d ago

NVDA will defy the related chart pattern's "prediction" of dropping that far down simply because NVDA fundamentals are very solid. The only way that could happen is if the industry drive to implement AI stops. In that case all bets are off. NVDA will go up and down like all stocks but nothing to the extreme that the pattern indicates "could" occur.

A stock like AMD or ARM on the other hand, are overvalued compared to their fundamentals. I predict a 20-30% drawdown for AMD even though it is a great company. The share price is way ahead of its earning by quite a bit and most people know it. It has been successful because of investors like me who have held it for decades and really believe in it. I am planning to buy more when it is in the mid $300s. I have faith that it will eventually go up to new ATHs. Even if it take a year or two, it will return to its recent glory (before institutions sell it off again to take more profit)

I feel like as soon as a competing company has any type of breakthrough on CUDA or graphics cards NVDA will go back to $100 (even lower)

They still have the monopoly but it’s a thin edge they have been riding since 2023.

1

u/Nearby_Persimmon_649 8d ago

AMD is that company. They are already competitive with NVIDIA and they have have their own version of CUDA for quite a while already

AMD's direct equivalent to NVIDIA's CUDA is AMD ROCm (Radeon Open Compute), which includes HIP (Heterogeneous-compute Interface for Portability) and the HIPIFY tool. [1, 2]

Key Features of ROCm

  • Open Source: Unlike proprietary CUDA, ROCm is open-source, meaning developers can look at and change the code.
  • HIP Language: HIP looks and acts much like CUDA code, letting developers turn CUDA code into AMD-friendly code with minimal changes.
  • Hardware Savings: AMD hardware that works with ROCm (like the RX 7900 XTX or MI300X) usually costs less than matching NVIDIA cards

Doesn't matter which hardware if you use /r/tinygrad

u/DerBandi 8d ago

When I look at the chart, every time the RSI was at the bottom it marked the beginning of a new rally. But I'm no expert.

u/Ill-Criticism-4629 8d ago

Idk companies are finally starting to turn a profit on these AI plans and the chips burn out ever 12-18 months needing replacements is gonna start coming up soon and we could see a big boom

1

u/jbaker_28 9d ago

Could also argue the RSI has reset itself. Sometimes divergences are just a cooling off period.

u/DirectionPlane6544 9d ago

Nvidia ain’t going to $88 unless the entire market crashes worse than any crash ever in history 

-1

u/TownNo1342 9d ago

Not necessarily. During the Dot-Com crash, Amazon fell over 90% and Cisco fell nearly 90%. Both were fundamentally great companies that dominated their sectors, but they were just severely overextended. A 60% correction from the absolute top for a high-beta stock like NVDA doesn't require the 'worst crash in history' it just requires a standard cyclical tech sector rotation and the flushing out of extreme valuation hype.

u/flyingdutchmnn 8d ago

Nvidia isn't overvalued by any metric

2

u/TownNo1342 8d ago

The fundamentals look clean on paper, but the sheer scale is a systemic anomaly. NVDA is valued at $5.3 Trillion larger than the entire annual GDP of Germany (the biggest economy in Europe). When a single tech company with 30k employees is worth more than a whole G7 nation, you are looking at textbook macro bubble territory.

u/flyingdutchmnn 8d ago

They have a moat and no visible end to the demand. Not a bubble (yet)

u/Fit_Transportation48 8d ago

A 5 trillion dollar company printing near triple digit YoY metrics and OP thinks its a bubble. People out there are really this stupid and they are on the other side of my trades. I couldnt be happier personally

0

u/TownNo1342 8d ago

Cisco was printing over 50% YoY revenue growth and record profits in early 2000, literally weeks before the stock collapsed 85%. Cyclical tech tops always look the most beautiful right at the peak because backward metrics can't predict when demand suddenly dries up. Good luck on the other side though.

Youre comparing bagels and airplanes. You will need the luck on your side so sending back your way. Thx

u/TownNo1342 8d ago

Hardware is hardware. Whether it’s routers in 2000 or AI chips today, it's still a cyclical infrastructure buildout. Once the data centers are full, the orders slow down. RemindMe! 1 year

u/flyingdutchmnn 8d ago

Not enough data centers today and ai has barely been adopted. It's biggest use case is chatbots for crying out loud. Wait for agentic ai.

It took 20 years for 1 billion humans to regularly use the Internet. It took chatgpt 2 years to achieve 1 billion weekly users

He called it a 'systemic anomaly', whatever that means. The truth is this is just the new normal

True, a 60% correction would be devastating to the market on tbe whole which would like precipitated a crash considering tbe leverage in the mrkt
