Nvidia Stock Beat Earnings but 3 Bearish Charts Whisper a Local Top

Nvidia stock sits at $223 after peaking at $236 on May 14, with three separate charts showing big money has quietly started leaving even though the latest earnings print cleared both top and bottom-line consensus.　　The headline beat on May 20 looked clean. The chart underneath tells a different story, where big-money flows, momentum, and retail options positioning have all flipped or weakened in succession against the rally.　　Big Money Quietly Exits and The Reason is Clear　　Nvidia (NVDA) has rallied 44.05% from the March 30 swing low at $164 to the May 14 peak at $236. That move, by its size and shape, usually forms the pole of a potential bullish flag pattern. The consolidation since the peak carries the early structure of the flag, which would project further upside if the breakout confirms with volume.　　The first crack in the bullish read shows up in the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF), an indicator that measures volume-weighted buying and selling pressure and acts as a proxy for big-money accumulation. CMF peaked at 0.57 on April 28. As of May 21, it has dropped to 0.09. Between those two dates, Nvidia stock price trended higher into the May 14 peak while CMF trended lower. That
