Nvidia is the IBD Stock Of The Day as the AI-chip maker rises above its 50-day moving average line, offering an early entry.
Nvidia shares have risen for four consecutive trading days, rebounding from a recent sell-off. Earlier this month, Nvidia stock triggered sell signals.
Nvidia's climb above its 50-day moving average line is a positive sign. But shares have been moving sideways for two months amid concerns about demand and production issues with its latest Blackwell graphics processing units.
Still, Nvidia stock is on track to form a shallow double-bottom base by the end of the week. That base would have a buy point of 146.54.
On the stock market today, Nvidia stock advanced 0.4% to close at 140.22. Earlier in the session, it was up as much as 1.6% to 141.90. Shares are actionable above the 50-day line as well as clearing a short downward-sloping trendline from the record high of 152.89.
Nvidia's upsurge follows the rise of its contract chipmaker Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing. On Monday, TSM stock broke out of a cup-with-handle base at a buy point of 205.63.
Nvidia Stock Catalysts Ahead
The next potential catalyst for Nvidia stock could be announcements at the CES 2025 tech trade show in Las Vegas. Chief Executive Jensen Huang is scheduled to give a keynote speech there on Jan. 6.
