After conquering key price levels at $145 and $160, NVDA is now battling at the $183 pivot. Technicals, volume, and options flow point toward a decisive move — with upside targets stretching toward $192 if bulls hold control.
Since its decisive breakout above the $145 daily pivot in May 2025 and $160 in July, NVIDIA (NASDAQ: NVDA) has sustained an impressive bullish structure. The price action from July to date reveals a progressive upward channel, characterised by higher highs and higher lows, supported by strong volume inflows.
Every dip has been absorbed by buyers, reaffirming institutional participation and the robustness of the uptrend.
As of Friday, August 8, 2025, NVDA closed at $182.81, stalling just below micro 2 at $183.43, after securing $177.61 pivot and micro 1 at $181.20 earlier in the week.
- Primary zone: $183.43 – $177.61 (current tug-of-war range)
- Bullish breakout scenario:
- A clean break above $183.43 could unlock a rally toward micro 3–5 pivots, with $189.58 and $192.00 as extended upside targets.
- Bearish retest scenario:
- A rejection at $183.43 could trigger a pullback toward the $177.61 pivot and potentially micro 5 support at $174.35.
