Analysis
NVIDIA shows strong technical and fundamental characteristics, making it an attractive long candidate. However, the stock has had a significant run-up, so a conservative approach is warranted.
The company's impressive earnings and sales growth, coupled with its leadership in AI and graphics processing, support a bullish outlook. The stock's high RS rating and adherence to the Minervini template further reinforce its potential.
However, potential risks include: Overall market volatility Potential sector rotation out of technology stocks Valuation concerns given the recent price appreciation This conservative plan aims to capitalize on NVIDIA's strength while managing risk through careful entry points, position sizing, and a disciplined exit strategy. Always adjust the plan based on changing market conditions and your personal risk tolerance.
