What This Means
Nvidia shares have declined enough to approach a 20% drop from recent highs, the technical threshold for a bear market. Falling valuations in a dominant semiconductor and AI infrastructure supplier can draw contrarian buyers betting the selloff has overshot fundamentals, though it also signals reduced near-term demand expectations or profit-taking after a sustained rally.
