NVIDIA’s Quantum Computing Play Just Sent IonQ and Rigetti Flying
Positive Sentiment: Technical and momentum signals are constructive: NVDA cleared long‑term resistance, logged a multi‑day winning streak and has a recent golden‑cross (50‑day > 200‑day), which attracts trend‑following flows and short‑covering.

Negative Sentiment: Insider/asset‑manager selling and some position trims (e.g., Spence Asset Management) create short‑term supply pressure and give sceptical investors ammunition to question near‑term upside. Spence Asset Management Cuts Nvidia Stake
