Nvidia Stock

Nvidia stock jumped 7.1% to 1,140.59, gapping up to yet another record high. Shares soared 15.1% last week on booming earnings and guidance. NVDA stock is now greatly extended. Nvidia’s market cap is closing in on $3 trillion, hitting $2.847 trillion on Tuesday.

Stocks In Buy Zones

Arm stock spiked 9% to 124,94, clearly moving above the 50-day line, which had served as resistance for the past two weeks. The wireless chip designer, seen as an AI play, also broke a trendline. Those both offered buy signals. Arm stock is starting to building the right side of what would be deep base.

Wingstop stock rose 1.5% to 389.60, bouncing from the 21-day moving average and breaking a short trendline, while not that far from the 50-day line. Shares are still in range of a prior consolidation with a 379 entry.

Nu Holdings stock popped 3.8% to 12.18, bouncing from around the 50-day line and breaking a short trendline. That offers a fresh entry into the Brazilian fintech, which has a 12.38 consolidation buy point.

What To Do Now

There are stocks to buy and some winners are still moving higher, but market leadership has narrowed somewhat. So don’t assume that just because an Nvidia-fueled Nasdaq is hitting new highs that your stocks are sure to advance.

Still, a few more stocks flashed buy signals with many others setting up. Investors could choose to take advantage, especially if their exposure remains modest. But continue to do so gradually and be ready to step back if the market falters.
