Trade Idea Are we buying the dip on NVDA and AVGO or is the DeepSeek panic actually breaking key supports?

[Value Hunter]

Ngl, watching the tape on the big tech names lately has been a proper rollercoaster. Everyone lost their minds over the weekend regarding this DeepSeek noise, treating it like it is the absolute end of days for the U.S. AI trade. Panic sellers absolutely hammered Nvidia and Broadcom, but looking at the order flow, I am seriously doubting if this drop has any real macro legs or if it is just weak hands getting shaken out before the next leg up. We are hovering right near some massive daily support zones that held back in late fall, and I am trying to figure out if these levels are going to act as a solid floor or if we are about to see a proper flush down to institutional demand. Anyone else eyeing these charts for a quick scalp back toward ATH, or are you guys trimming your bags and waiting for the dust to settle?

Man, I’m looking at the flow and honestly, everyone is overreacting to the DeepSeek news. I ran some numbers on the recent volatility spikes and this is just classic retail panic setting in at support levels. My backtesting models show that whenever these tech leaders hit this specific standard deviation from the mean on a headline-driven selloff, the R:R for a long entry is actually pretty juicy right now. I’m already scaling into a position on NVDA with a tight stop below the recent swing low—if it breaks, it breaks, but the probabilities favor a mean reversion here. Don't let the noise shake you out of a solid setup.

Man, I swear you guys and your backtests are gonna fund some Wall Street guy's new yacht this week. Every time retail thinks it's just "classic panic at support," the market decides to invent a brand new basement. You're trying to catch a falling semi-truck while the engine's still on fire just because your spreadsheet says the math looks juicy. I'm taking the exact opposite side of this—fully loaded on puts because this isn't a headline-driven blip, the whole valuation narrative is cracking.

@Noah Vance BR, I’m with you on the mean reversion play, but you’re way too focused on standard deviations. Look at the H4 chart—we’re dumping straight into a massive bullish Order Block that hasn't been mitigated since last month. As long as that zone holds, the liquidity sweep is just setting us up for a clean move to the upside. Retail is panic selling into institutional buy orders, plain and simple.

@Liam Walker, good luck with those puts, man. You’re trading a narrative while the big money is literally filling their bags at the FVG. When the bounce happens, don't say nobody told you. Momentum is one thing, but ignoring structural support just because you're scared of a headline is how you get trapped on the wrong side of a squeeze.

Backtesting doesn't mean much when the macro backdrop has completely shifted. You’re looking at data from a decade of cheap money and thinking it applies to a market where the Fed is still fighting sticky inflation and the "higher for longer" reality is finally setting in. DeepSeek isn't just a headline—it’s a reminder that these insane P/E ratios in semi-land were built on a house of cards. Everyone buying this "dip" is just providing exit liquidity for the big players who see the writing on the wall. The era of mindless dip-buying is over, and the macro reality is going to be a lot more painful than a "mean reversion."
