| Key insight |
NVDA is stabilizing after the post-earnings selloff. Price at $182.65 is essentially flat vs 03/03 ($180.05, +1.4%). RSI improved slightly from ~52.9 to 45.9 — though lower, the price has held. The 30D is -3.1% (slightly worse than 03/03's +3.4% due to base effect). GTC Conference in March should be the catalyst. At $182 with RSI 46, NVDA is in the add zone ($175-185). |

Base effect shift |
Update from 03/03: NVDA stabilizing. Price rose slightly to $182.65 (+1.4%) while RSI declined to 45.9 — this is a healthy divergence (price holding while RSI resets). The SMA gap narrowed from -2.9% to -1.7%. At $182 with RSI 46, this is squarely in the add zone ($175-185). GTC Conference is the next major catalyst. Core thesis unchanged: $97B FCF, 75% gross margins, Blackwell ramp.

Bull Case
- AI infrastructure spending accelerating — Q4 $68.1B was +73% YoY.
- Blackwell ramp + Rubin on deck — Each gen delivers 10x+ inference improvement.
- $97B FCF, 75% gross margins — Self-funding growth machine.
- GTC Conference March 2026 — Imminent catalyst for product roadmap updates.
- RSI 46 in add zone — Ideal technical setup for adding.
Bear Case
- Custom ASIC competition — Google TPUs, Amazon Trainium, Meta AMD deal.
- Export controls — China market "effectively foreclosed."
- AI capex cycle slowdown risk — If AI ROI doesn't materialize.
- Heavy insider selling — -$3.0B net.
Thesis Killers
- Gross margins decline below 65% for 2+ quarters
- Major hyperscaler shifts >50% to custom silicon
- Revenue growth decelerates to <20%
