While the demand is there, it's clear that's not the sole reason why Nvidia's RTX 50 series is impossible to find in stores. Many retailers received fairly low stock quantities, as Nvidia reportedly experienced manufacturing issues.

Nvidia crossed below its 200 day moving average for the first time since 2023 this week. Analysts say the correction could deepen.

Retail investors bought a net $562 million of Nvidia stock on Monday, the largest single-day inflow in at least 10 years, VandaTrack said.

While companies like DeepSeek may find success in certain market segments, they face an uphill battle against this massive capital advantage. In other words, claims that demand for Nvidia's premium chips will collapse simply don't align with market realities and the trajectory of AI development.
