Historically, the Fed has been the biggest headwind for $NVDA bulls.
When rates rise or liquidity tightens, high-multiple growth stocks get hit first. Nvidia trades on forward expectations—data center buildouts, AI capex cycles, chip demand visibility. All of that gets repriced when the discount rate moves.
The setup now: if the Fed pivots or pauses, that removes a major overhang. If they stay restrictive, valuation compression risk stays live even if fundamentals hold.
Watch the Fed more than the product roadmap.
