Nvidia (NVDA) Shares Fall Despite Strong Earnings

Yesterday, after the close of the main trading session, Nvidia released its second-quarter earnings report:

→ Earnings per share: actual = $0.67, expected = $0.647;
→ Revenue: $30.04 billion, expected = $28.737 billion;
→ The company also announced a $50 billion share buyback.

However, despite the strong results, Nvidia’s share price declined. While the closing price yesterday was above $125, in pre-market trading today, Nvidia’s shares are down below $118.

The more than 6% drop may be due to:
→ The company’s future outlook not meeting investor expectations;
→ Waning bullish sentiment around AI adoption.

On 12 August, during a technical analysis of NVDA’s price chart, we noted:
→ The price was forming an upward channel (indicated in blue);
→ The $100 level was acting as support.

EUR/USD Falls Below 1.11 Support

On 26 August, we discussed the potential for a pullback after the rally to 1.12, noting:
→ The fluctuations since April formed an ascending channel (indicated in blue, with support points marked by circles), and the price was near its upper boundary, where resistance was likely;
→ The 1.12 level also showed signs of resistance – the price briefly exceeded it before quickly falling back below; → Bearish divergence on the RSI indicator.

Just three days later, bearish signals continued to develop, leading to:
→ The formation of a bearish “head and shoulders” pattern (H&S) on the chart;
→ A more than 1% decline in price, breaking below the 1.11 level, which had provided support since 21 August.

Could EUR/USD continue to decline?

Double Top Pattern: Overview and Trading Rules

A double top is a popular technical analysis pattern that usually appears before a reversal in an uptrend. It’s one of the most common patterns and it can be found on any timeframe of any asset. Still, some traders confuse its signals. In this FXOpen article, we will explore how to spot the double top formation on a price chart and use it to build your own trading strategy.

What Is a Double Top Pattern?

In technical analysis, a double top pattern meaning refers to a chart pattern that consists of two swing highs with a trough in between, and the two highs should be at the same or almost the same level. Some traders confuse a double top with a double bottom formation. Therefore, the question “Is the double top bullish or bearish?” is common. The double top pattern appears at the end of an uptrend, and it’s always bearish. Conversely, the double bottom setup occurs at the end of a downtrend, and it’s always bullish.

Buffett’s Company Hits $1 Trillion Market Cap

Berkshire Hathaway’s (BRK.B) Class B shares surpassed $465 this week, while Class A shares exceeded $700,000, pushing the market capitalisation of Warren Buffett’s company past the $1 trillion mark. This milestone makes it the first non-tech U.S. company to join the trillion-dollar club, alongside Apple, Nvidia, Microsoft, Alphabet, Amazon, Meta, and Saudi Aramco.

Buffett’s success lies in his value investing philosophy, which has allowed him to build a portfolio that consistently outperforms the market. This month is no exception—while the S&P 500 (US SPX 500 mini on FXOpen) has rebounded about 9.4% from its 5 August low, Berkshire Hathaway’s Class B shares have surged over 14%.

Can the price climb even higher?

USD/CHF Rebounds from Yearly Lows

The USD/CHF pair tested its yearly low slightly below 0.84100 yesterday but has since recovered to just above 0.84800 today.

The bullish sentiment was supported by positive news about the U.S. economy—data released yesterday showed GDP growth for the second quarter at 3.0%, surpassing the expected 2.8%.

Bulls may find further encouragement from events earlier this year when the head of the Swiss National Bank (SNB) warned that an excessively strong franc could pressure the country’s economy. Following this, USD/CHF rose by more than 8% over four months.
