Tesla and NVIDIA Intraday Trade Setups Using VWAP and Volatility Bands

In this session, we analyze intraday setups in Tesla (TSLA) and NVIDIA (NVDA), focusing on high-probability trades within defined volatility zones. The strategy hinges on identifying two standard deviation bands, VWAP reversion zones, and volume-by-price resistance walls.

For Tesla, the lack of clear trend offered ideal conditions for range-bound trades. We highlight how overlapping support/resistance from current and previous sessions, combined with VWAP positioning, informed both long and short entries. Key execution cues came from price behavior near the bands and confirmation via tail bars and volume stacks.

NVIDIA, by contrast, showed a mild trend structure. We walked through how recognizing Fibonacci retracement levels and prior volume clusters created a roadmap for potential price action from support zones back into profit targets just below upper band resistance.

The common thread: VWAP reversion setups, volatility band awareness, and volume structure analysis were the drivers behind both trades.

Market Highlights

Today's Trading Recap

On Wednesday, May 28, 2025, U.S. stock markets closed lower, with the S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average each falling 0.6%, and the Nasdaq Composite down 0.5%.

Key Factors Influencing Market Movements:

1. Anticipation of Nvidia’s Earnings

Investors were cautious ahead of Nvidia’s first-quarter earnings report, which was released after market close. The company’s performance is seen as a bellwether for the tech sector, particularly in artificial intelligence. Post-market, Nvidia’s shares rose over 5% after reporting a 69% year-over-year revenue increase. 

2. Federal Reserve Meeting Minutes

The release of the Federal Reserve’s meeting minutes indicated a cautious stance on interest rate cuts, leading to increased Treasury yields and contributing to market declines.

3. Sector-Specific Developments

  • Homebuilders: Stocks in this sector declined as mortgage rates reached their highest levels since January.

  • Retailers: Abercrombie & Fitch’s shares surged 15% after raising its full-year sales outlook, while Macy’s experienced volatility despite exceeding earnings expectations.

  • Technology: Okta’s shares dropped 16% despite beating earnings forecasts, due to cautious long-term revenue guidance.

4. Cryptocurrency Market

Bitcoin’s price fell by 1.15% to $108,126, reflecting ongoing volatility in the cryptocurrency market.

In summary, the markets were influenced by a combination of anticipation around major tech earnings, signals from the Federal Reserve, sector-specific news, and movements in the cryptocurrency market.
