NVIDIA Stock Key Levels Today: $225 and 4% From the Record
NVIDIA closed at $225.51 on September 23, down 1.5% as bond yields jumped, but still up about 7% from its September 14 low and roughly 4% below its $235.74 record close. $221 and $215 are the supports; $230 and $236 the resistance.
NVIDIA (NVDA) closed at $225.51 on September 23, down about 1.5% as the 10-year Treasury yield hit its highest level since 2007 and weighed on tech. Zoom out and the picture is firmer: the stock has rallied about 7% from its September 14 close of $210.96, sits above its 20-day (about $221), 50-day (about $215) and 200-day (about $199) averages, and is roughly 4% below its record close of $235.74 from May 14. The levels that matter now are $221 and $215 below, and the $230 area and the $235.74–$236.54 record zone above.
What Is Driving the Move?
Growth is still enormous
NVIDIA’s latest quarter brought revenue of $96.2 billion, up 106% year over year, with non-GAAP earnings per share up 120% to $2.22, and guidance of about $108 billion for the current quarter. Demand has broadened beyond the big cloud providers to enterprises.
The valuation has come down, not up
Because profits have grown faster than the share price, NVIDIA traded at under 17 times expected earnings this week — near the cheapest level in more than a decade and down from over 25 times in May, according to Bloomberg. Some read that as value; others as the market doubting how long this growth can last.
Rates are the near-term headwind
As a roughly $5.4 trillion growth stock, NVIDIA is sensitive to bond yields. Wednesday’s drop came on a market-wide move as the 10-year yield topped 5.1% and October rate-hike odds rose, not on company-specific news.
A busy month of deal-making
NVIDIA agreed in early September to acquire AI model hub Hugging Face for nearly $13 billion and has been investing across the AI ecosystem, while its next-generation Vera Rubin platform began shipping in August.
Technical Analysis
$221 (the 20-day average) is the first support; a daily close below it would put the $215 area — the 50-day average — in play.
The September low zone around $209–$211 is the deeper floor; losing it would undo the whole recovery from mid-month.
Resistance starts near $229–$230, this week’s high and the early-September closing peak, then the record zone at $235.74 (closing high) to $236.54 (intraday high).

What Traders Should Watch
- Treasury yields: NVIDIA and the Nasdaq have been reacting directly to moves in the 10-year yield.
- Whether NVDA can close above $230 and challenge the $235.74 record, or slips back under its 20-day average.
- AI and export-control headlines from President Xi Jinping’s Washington visit.
- Semiconductor-sector moves and big-tech spending commentary, since hyperscaler budgets drive NVIDIA’s demand.
None of this is a guarantee of what happens next. It is a checklist for reading the move, not a prediction.
The Tradeskill View
NVIDIA is a textbook case of fundamentals and price pulling in different directions over short windows: revenue doubled year over year, yet the stock is roughly flat since May because the valuation compressed.
For a trader the useful map is simple: trend intact above $215, strengthening above $230, and a record test above $235.74.
