Comment

Uptrend restored as of yesterday's close above the recent 888.19 high. Monday 5/6 showed strong follow-through, and seems momentum is in favor of continuation or at least staying above 34EMA. All hinges on upcoming earnings 5/22 not only for this stock itself, but the broader semiconductor and tech sector, and even overall market as NVDA has become a bellwether of the AI-driven economy
