What is this, Josh? When are the braids coming out? No, dude, it's not a transplant. This is my literal hair. Thanks to Dr. Keith Scheinblum of Scheinblum Medical.

I'm actually, I'm growing this. Biff Gribbles is here, KPS Fred says, can't wait till Josh has a man bun. It's coming, my friend. Any day now. All right. All right. So chart, let's start here.

Nvidia looks like it wants to, I should, let me phrase this. Let me phrase this correctly. Nvidia looks like it wants to break out. A couple of things struck me about the recent trading and activity in Nvidia. Let's just do the technical chart. Let's jump right to that.

So I'm just going to narrate what I see here. This is a stock that had a massive run up in May, when all of its customers, the hyperscalers were reporting not only earnings, but forward guidance and their capex plans. And basically, they ratified what we all already know, which is that not only are they spending this coming quarter and for the rest of the year, but as far as the eye can see, because the investments they've already made demand that they continue to spend. And we've talked at length about replacement cycles and you build the data center, 50% of the expense is the chips.

Nvidia, although there are other chips available for data centers, there are other components, there are ASICs, there are CPUs. The GPU clusters are still going to be the workhorses for the data centers for as far as the eye can see. And back to the chart. So basically, it ran up in May as those reports were coming out. And then we sort of had like, I think, a pretty orderly pullback to the 200-day moving average, which at that time was 199, 200, bounced off of that level twice. Came right back into the 200s. And then it's been biding its time, pretty much consolidating below that 235 breakout level. Today, the stock closed around 228 And the longer it knocks on that 230, 235 breakout level, the longer that testing process takes place, the more powerful, I think, the eventual breakout would be.
