Key Takeaways:

*Nvidia earnings in focus: Options markets price a potential $260B valuation swing, making results a key driver for Nasdaq direction.

*AI optimism vs. stretched valuations: Robust AI demand supports sentiment, but the S&P 500 trades at its richest multiple in four years.

*Geopolitical risks linger: Nvidia’s China exposure and trade frictions add another layer of uncertainty to market outlook.

Market Summary:

U.S. equities traded with a steady tone as investors shifted focus to Nvidia’s upcoming earnings report, which has become a pivotal event not just for the AI narrative but also for broader market sentiment. The Nasdaq posted modest gains, supported by strength in healthcare and select technology names, but the overall direction of Wall Street remains closely tied to how Nvidia performs. Options markets are pricing in a potential $260 billion swing in the chipmaker’s valuation, underscoring the immense expectations surrounding the results and highlighting its role as the market’s bellwether.

Optimism continues to build on the back of robust demand across AI-related industries, with recent earnings from peers such as MongoDB and Okta reinforcing the view that enterprise spending on AI infrastructure remains strong. Still, the broader market is increasingly stretched—valuations on the S&P 500 have risen to their highest earnings multiple in four years, a sign of confidence but also of vulnerability should expectations falter. This leaves Wall Street exposed to sharper downside risks if Nvidia’s earnings or guidance fail to deliver the reassurance investors are seeking, particularly at a time when investor positioning is heavily tilted toward AI-driven growth stories.

Beyond the earnings spotlight, risks from outside the U.S. are also shaping sentiment. Nvidia’s significant exposure to China remains a concern as trade frictions and U.S. export restrictions threaten a key revenue stream, even as the company seeks to navigate policy headwinds with alternative agreements. Investors are also mindful of broader geopolitical risks and regulatory scrutiny that could temper sector momentum. In the near term, Nvidia’s report is likely to serve as the decisive catalyst for the Nasdaq, with the potential to either extend the AI-fueled rally to new highs or trigger a broader reassessment of risk appetite across tech-heavy indices.

Technical Analysis

Nasdaq, H4: 

Nasdaq (NDX) is trading near 23,560 after rebounding from the 23,277 support zone and breaking above its descending trendline. Price is now holding above the 20-period moving average, with the 50-period MA near 23,468 acting as a key pivot level. 

Momentum indicators lean constructively. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is hovering near 59, signaling firm bullish momentum without yet entering overbought conditions. The MACD has crossed into positive territory, with histogram bars turning green and showing building upside momentum.

On the upside, a decisive break above 23,685 would pave the way for a retest of the 23,940 barrier. On the downside, a close below 23,470 would weaken the bullish structure and expose 23,277, with a further drop opening the door toward 23,017.

Resistance level:23,685.00, 23,940.00

Support level:23,470.00, 23,277.00
