NVIDIA Corp. NVDA declined 1.74% on Wednesday, retracing somewhat after reaching new all-time highs of $440 per share on Tuesday. The price decline had little to do with company-specific factors, but rather with a deterioration in overall market risk sentiment on tech shares, with the Nasdaq 100 falling 1.35% and other tech titans all trading lower for the session.

The daily Nvidia chart is beginning to display a bearish RSI divergence pattern, which might potentially signal a loss of upward momentum and potential reversal in the price trend.

As prices reached new all-time highs on Tuesday, the momentum indicator — the relative strength index or RSI — actually traded lower than previous highs established on May 30. The discrepancy between the rising price trend and the declining oscillator creates a negative divergence signal.

This could suggest the strong bullish momentum may have perhaps peaked, and that investors who have participated, entirely or partially, in the exorbitant 190% year-to-date rally made by Nvidia may be considering taking some profits.

Technically speaking, Nvidia shares continue to trade at extremely elevated levels, as they are about 100% higher than their 200-day moving average and 15% higher than two standard deviations from the 200-day moving average.
