Nvidia Stock Price Soars After Trump Approves Surprise Chip Sales to China

Key Takeaways

  • Nvidia has reached a deal that allows it to export chips to China.
  • The Nvidia (NVDA) stock price still trades below its all-time high.
  • Can NVDA surge and hit a new all-time high once the market opens?

Nvidia stunned investors this week after securing approval to resume exporting advanced chips to China.

This is a massive shift in policy that reopens one of the world’s largest AI markets.

The news has triggered fresh debate across the tech and political landscape, and now traders are watching closely to see whether the optimism surrounding the Nvidia China deal can push NVDA back toward its all-time highs when markets open.

Nvidia China Deal

For months, Nvidia has forecasted no chip sales to China whatsoever.

Once the trade war between the U.S. and China began, one of the world’s largest markets was effectively voided.

Before the trade war, Nvidia controlled 95% of the entire AI chip market in China.

This all changed on Dec. 8, when President Trump approved the sale of Nvidia’s H200 chip to China.

Nvidia’s official response is that:

We applaud President Trump’s decision to allow America’s chip industry to compete to support high paying jobs and manufacturing in America. Offering H200 to approved commercial customers, vetted by the Department of Commerce, strikes a thoughtful balance that is great for America

Political Backlash to the Deal

U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren is unhappy with the deal.

Shoe tweeted that the deal occurred after a backroom meeting with Trump and a donation to his ballroom.

Tim Fist also believes that the H200 exports will boost China’s ability to develop and deploy frontier AI models.

Huawei is not planning to make an AI chip that matches the H200 until Q4 2027. But more importantly, China’s manufacturing bottlenecks mean it’ll only reach 1-2% of US production in 2026. So this move is giving China a bunch of advanced AI compute it wouldn’t otherwise have, he stated.

Nevertheless, the NVDA price has jumped pre-market and is nearing its all-time high of $212.

Nvidia Stock Price Jumps

The Nvidia stock price has fallen since its all-time high of $212 at the end of October.

After a 20% price crash, the price has regained its footing and increased over the last two weeks.

Despite the bounce, momentum indicators are bearish.

  • The Relative Strength Index (RSI) has generated a bearish divergence.
  • The Moving Average Convergence/Divergence (MACD) did the same.
  • Both indicators are declining.

Adding to the concerns, there is a completed five-wave upward movement (black).

The NVDA chart suggests that despite the positive news, a price crash is more likely than new highs.

What Happens Next for Nvidia?

The Nvidia China export approval is undeniably bullish from a fundamental standpoint.

It reopens a massive revenue stream the company thought it had lost.

However, with momentum indicators turning bearish and NVDA sitting below major resistance, technical indicators point toward caution rather than celebration.

  • If NVDA closes above $212, a new phase of price discovery begins.
  • If it fails again, another sharp correction could follow.

Either way, Nvidia’s China comeback will remain one of the most closely watched market stories of the month.
