Hard to say whether $NVDA has more in the tank for another major leg higher. Lots of chatter about how it’s late stage/extended/overvalued/topping pattern etc. While all that may be true, in context $NVDA hasn’t been this “cheap” in a while. Take a look at the multiple

How I think about breakouts on minimal volume Obviously I entered $M on this beautiful setup. I talked about it below when I saw it setting up. But, it's a breakout on virtually no volume from a VCP. If you've studied the base well enough, you might be able to identify the line

It pays to wait for a stock to breach a pivot before engaging. Just because supply is exhausted, which is demonstrated by tight range and reduced volume, does not indicate demand has (or even will) emerged. To buy in a consolidation is to make a binary bet on demand coming
