Nvidia has lost $1 trillion in value over two months, making it cheaper than it has been since before the AI boom started. Yet traders are aggressively betting on a rebound even as other chip stocks fall, and with the Federal Reserve uncertain about future rate hikes, the market could be primed for a snapback in Nvidia's price.

## Idea

Bloomberg reports Nvidia has lost roughly $1 trillion in market value, pushing its valuation to levels not seen since before the AI boom. Yet CNBC highlights that traders are actively betting on a major Nvidia rally even as the broader semiconductor sector sells off. The combination of extreme valuation compression and contrarian bullish positioning suggests the market may have overreacted to the downside. Additionally, CNBC notes that Fed officials are split on the direction of interest rates; a dovish tilt from a divided Fed could relieve pressure on high-growth tech stocks, providing a macro tailwind for a Nvidia rebound.
