The most direct change over the past two years is that computing power is no longer just something the tech world gets excited about.
Look at software, cloud, and automation—everything people talk about is increasingly the same question: whoever can secure computing power more reliably has more confidence to push forward.
I tend to pay more attention to
$NVDA , and I’m looking at it in that context.
I’m not chasing the small fluctuations of the past 24 hours. After all, its perpetual price is currently only $196.69, with just -0.12% over 24 hours. The high and low are squeezed tightly, trading roughly between $195.89 and $197.19, so the market isn’t really doing anything too exciting.
But this “lack of excitement” sometimes actually suggests the market isn’t being overly jittery here.
I just checked Binance’s TradFi side—
$NVDA ranks
#22 on the U.S. stock perpetuals gainers list,
#14 on the trading volume list, and still has $7.79M USDT in volume over the last 24 hours.
This one hasn’t made any big, dramatic moves, yet attention has stayed on it the whole time.
I personally take this as a pretty solid signal.
A lot of coins get on the list purely driven by sentiment; they rally for two hours and then the noise disappears.
$NVDA feels more like this: people aren’t screaming, but their hands haven’t left the mouse.
Now looking at the contracts: the funding rate is +0.0000%, and the open interest is 154,972 contracts.
This is a state I actually feel comfortable with.
The funding rate isn’t being pushed too far out of whack, which suggests the current play isn’t one of everyone cramming into the same side.
And open interest isn’t low, meaning lots of people are watching it—so from a trading perspective, it’s still actively being dealt.
In plain terms: someone is watching it, but it hasn’t gotten to the point of being ridiculous.
Zooming back out to the company itself—I’ve always kept my understanding of it pretty straightforward.
It rides the line of “long-term growth in demand for computing power,” not a burst concept trend.
As far as I understand, this company has consistently been positioned fairly high in high-performance computing and AI-related infrastructure.
The most valuable thing about a position like that isn’t only that its products can sell well; it’s that once the industry enters a phase of sustained investment, the strong players are often more easily able to capture the incremental gains that come afterward.
What am I worried about?
One is that in this kind of market, expectations for these stocks are often kept quite high for a long time—so even a slightly off performance can easily get you slapped.
The other is that current intraday volatility isn’t big, which doesn’t mean it won’t suddenly expand later and choose a direction with volume.
If it really does move downward, many people will pull the “high expectations” three words back out and start doing the math again.
But looking only at where things stand right now, I’m leaning bullish.
If I were to act myself, I’d rather treat it as a position you can watch slowly during a pullback, instead of waiting until it gets hot enough that everyone starts slapping the table and then chasing it. If I lose, don’t cue me. If I profit, please buy me a cup of coffee.
