After last week&#8217;s down-to-sideways markets and no major market events scheduled for this week, you need to brace yourself for a bumpy ride.
Until the quarterly options expire on Monday, headlines will dominate this market. If there is any whiff of new tariffs, expect a market bump.
New geopolitical tension? Another bump.
That doesn&#8217;t mean there&#8217;s nothing to trade this week. As long as tariff news doesn&#8217;t arrive, the indices will (and are) slowly trend up. And individual stocks offer even more upside potential.
Especially NVDA.
The major indices have a small amount of upside available if we have no new tariff news this week. This would translate to SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) having room to $575 but struggling beyond that. For single tickers, particularly in the semi and tech space, there is room for more upside.
In the absence of major events this week, markets will be a bit more ‘free-running' with the specter of tariffs waiting in the background and the quarterly op-ex not exerting pressures till the end of the week. 
Our one concern is the key SPY $570 level. 570 is the Bull/Bear Pivot level and the beginning of the neutral zone between 570-575. Get much above this level, and bulls take control and prices soar. Get far below it, and bulls take charge and prices tank.
But it&#8217;s also a fragile level. If the SPY closes below 570, this will put us back into negative gamma. And considering volatility has come down a lot (under 19 as of this writing), a volatility spike because of, say, a new tariff could cause a lot of losses.
<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXdBYo6vFwH0ZN2flaoG6EoZl2VfeDzGINY6zle0ZTv6NAZlyLCv8Hh-92ro1oIKsQz7a9Ym_x4tWQngHcoqfngtPRnXxmKuemVVCAkpCmWC4aJwZnXBinBJ7gG5iEfKhUYEnIGM_w?key=yuuB6IzeJzec1RPv_5UalRft" alt="" /></figure>
Meanwhile, Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) has much more room to run. The stock&#8217;s&nbsp; Bull/Bear Pivot level is currently 120, which is hovering around that price point. If it breaks out above it, that&#8217;s a signal to buy it. If it stays below, you should stay away. Any tariff surprise is unlikely to hit NVDA directly, as chip tariffs have already been raised and digested by the markets.
Along with other individual tech stocks such as Tesla (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) and Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>), NVDA is a good play for this week heading into the weekend.

Microalgo, Palantir, 23Andme, AMD, And Tesla: Why These 5 Stocks Are On Investors' Radars Today

Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) shares are moving higher on Monday amid market strength on reports suggesting the U.S. could <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/03/44460515/how-white-houses-april-2-tariffs-might-jolt-bitcoin-traders">narrow upcoming tariffs</a>.
What To Know: According to the <a href="https://www.wsj.com/politics/policy/trump-tariff-reciprocal-deadline-industrial-delay-97508838">Wall Street Journal</a>, President Donald Trump and his administration are considering excluding certain sectors from the upcoming April 2 tariffs.
The administration is anticipated to impose a series of reciprocal tariffs on various nations on April 2, which Trump has referred to as &#8220;Liberation Day.&#8221; Certain sector-specific tariffs on industries like automobiles, pharmaceuticals and semiconductors may now be excluded, however, the specific sectors have not been announced by the White House.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent stated that the U.S. is focusing on applying tariffs to approximately 15% of countries with constant trade imbalances with the U.S., a group sometimes referred to as the &#8220;dirty 15.&#8221; The specific countries have not yet been announced, but the secretary noted that these nations account for most of the U.S.&#8217;s foreign trade.
AMD, along with other chip companies, may be trading higher following this news because if the semiconductor industry is excluded from the upcoming tariffs, it could prevent price increases and reduce trade barriers. The sector may also be benefiting from market optimism about narrower-than-expected tariffs.

10 Information Technology Stocks With Whale Alerts In Today's Session

Wall Street soared Monday, kicking off the week in full risk-on mode as investors welcomed signs of easing trade tensions and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/03/44459470/us-business-activity-rebounds-as-services-growth-outpaces-forecasts-yet-cost-pressures-intensify">stronger-than-expected economic data. </a>
President Donald Trump&#8216;s softer tone on potential tariffs ahead of the looming April 2, 2025 deadline helped calm nerves. Adding to the optimism, fresh business surveys showed a strong rebound in services activity in March, easing recession worries.
U.S. economic activity accelerated in March, with the Composite Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) rising rom 51.6 in February to to 53.5. Services PMI jumped to 54.3 — well above consensus forecasts of 50.8 and sharply higher than the prior month's 51.0 reading. Yet, the report also flagged a notable uptick in cost pressures, as businesses reported growing concerns over input prices, likely linked to heightened speculation around potential tariff measures.
The S&amp;P 500 jumped 1.75% by midday in New York, on track for its best one-day performance since mid-January. The Nasdaq 100 rallied 2%, mirroring gains from March 14 — the index's strongest day since early November 2024.
Small caps outperformed their large-cap peers, underscoring the market's improving risk appetite. The Russell 2000 surged 2.8%, marking its best session since the post-election rally on Nov. 6, 2024.
Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) led the charge on both the S&amp;P 500 and Nasdaq 100, soaring 9.8%, on track for its sharpest one-day gain since early November.
All seven mega-cap tech stocks posted solid gains, with the Roundhill Magnificent Seven ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MAGS#NYSE">MAGS</a>) climbing 2.9% after Friday's 1.4% rise, setting up what could be its strongest two-day advance since early January.
Every S&amp;P 500 sector, except utilities, traded in positive territory, with consumer discretionary and technology leading the pack.
The U.S. dollar index edged higher, eyeing a fourth consecutive session of gains. Meanwhile, Treasury yields spiked across the curve as investors rotated out of safe-haven assets. The 10-year yield jumped seven basis points to 4.32%, while the iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TLT#NASDAQ">TLT</a>) dropped 0.9%.
Gold pulled back 0.3% to $3,014 per ounce, on pace for its third straight decline, as investors favored riskier assets.
Oil prices gained 1.5% after Trump threatened a 25% tariff on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/03/44460897/oil-prices-rally-exxon-hits-16-week-highs-as-trump-vows-25-tariffs-on-any-country-buying-venezuelan-crude">countries importing Venezuelan crude.</a>
Crypto-related assets also rallied. Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) climbed 2.7% to $88,400, while MicroStrategy Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>) jumped 7.4% and Coinbase Global Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COIN#NASDAQ">COIN</a>) rose 6.2%.

S&P 500 Rallies On Best Day In 2 Months As Recession Fears Ease, Tesla Rockets, Bitcoin Hits $88,000: What's Driving Markets Monday?

NVIDIA Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) is bouncing back, rising 3.7% by late Monday morning, as investors react to reports of a more measured <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/03/44458244/tech-sector-to-see-major-impact-from-tariffs-and-teslas-delivery-numbers-says-top-analyst-calls-april-2-as-the-vortex-day">U.S. tariff approach</a> and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/artificial-intelligence">fresh AI developments</a> out of China.
Despite recently triggering <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/technicals/25/03/44401363/nvidia-stock-nears-a-death-cross-can-the-gtc-ai-hype-save-it">a Death Cross</a> — a traditionally bearish technical signal — Nvidia stock is seeing renewed buying pressure, signaling a potential turnaround.

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Tariff Tensions Ease, AI Race Heats Up</h1>
Tech stocks led the market rally Monday after <a href="https://www.barrons.com/articles/nvidia-stock-price-tariffs-news-b7641315">reports</a> suggested former President Donald Trump may scale back broad tariffs on key trading partners. Among the sectors benefiting? 
Chips. Tariffs on semiconductors could be delayed or limited, providing a tailwind for Nvidia and other tech giants.
Meanwhile, news from China's Ant Group — co-founded by Jack Ma — added another boost to semiconductor stocks in general. Ant reportedly trained advanced artificial intelligence models using domestically produced chips alongside processors from Advanced Micro Devices Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>).
The development underscores China's AI ambitions and the ongoing demand for high-powered chips, even as U.S. export restrictions limit Nvidia's reach in the region.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Technical Signals: Mixed, But Improving?</h1>

Despite Monday's gains, Nvidia stock remains down 11.77% year to date, with technical indicators still flashing caution:
<ul>
<li>The recent surge pumped Nvidia stock above its eight-day ($118.49) and 20-day ($117.65) simple moving averages (SMAs) — suggesting renewed buying interest in the stock amongst traders.</li>
<li>Despite the short-term leverage, Nvidia stock continues to trade below its 50-day ($126.57) and 200-day ($127.79) SMAs — historically bearish signs.</li>
<li>The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator at a negative 2.54 — also leaning bearish.</li>
<li>The Relative Strength Index (RSI) sits at 51, suggesting Nvidia stock is neither oversold nor overbought.</li>
</ul>
However, with renewed buying pressure and easing trade war concerns, Nvidia bulls are watching for a potential reversal.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">What's Next For Nvidia Stock?</h1>
CEO Jensen Huang recently highlighted growing AI demand at the company's GTC Conference, emphasizing that even lower-cost models require more computing power than previously expected. 
With tariff relief on the table and AI innovation accelerating, Nvidia's next move could hinge on whether these tailwinds can overcome lingering technical weakness.
For now, Nvidia investors are enjoying some relief — just how long it lasts remains to be seen.

Shares of chip stocks are trading higher amid market strength on reports suggesting the US could narrow upcoming tariffs, which are expected to take effect Apr. 2.

The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/momentum-trading">momentum trade</a> just hit a wall and the unwind has been nothing short of brutal.
JPMorgan analysts Dubravko Lakos-Bujas, Arun Jain and Bhupinder Singh note that the sharp reversal in momentum has erased two years of gains in just three weeks &#8211; one of the fastest unwinds in four decades. 
With mega-caps leading the drop and a dramatic shift towards low-volatility stocks, investors need to rethink their strategies.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What's Behind The Crash?</h2>
Extreme crowding in momentum stocks &#8211; primarily fueled by AI enthusiasm, high-rate expectations and pro-growth bets—came under pressure as macro risks resurfaced. 
The result? A 17% average decline among the Mag-7, triggering a $5.8 trillion market cap wipeout in the S&amp;P 500.
While forced liquidations and systematic deleveraging have cooled the immediate risk of another crash, JPMorgan warns that if this is a true regime shift, the unwind may only be one-third complete.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Where Is Momentum Flowing?</h2>
Momentum is rotating away from quality growth and into low volatility and defensive plays. 
According to JPMorgan, stocks in the following sectors are seeing the strongest bid:
Utilities: NiSource Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NI#NYSE">NI</a>), Ameren Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AEE#NYSE">AEE</a>) and Evergy Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EVRG#NASDAQ">EVRG</a>)
Insurance: Arthur J. Gallagher &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AJG#NYSE">AJG</a>), Brown &amp; Brown Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRO#NYSE">BRO</a>) and Aon PLC (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AON#NYSE">AON</a>)
Financial Services: Visa Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/V#NYSE">V</a>) and Mastercard Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MA#NYSE">MA</a>)
Crowding in low volatility names has surged, pushing relative P/E valuations to record highs.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What To Watch Next</h2>
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">The Low-Volatility Boom</h4>
With the iShares Russell 2000 ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IWM#NYSE">IWM</a>) (small caps) lagging and defensive ETFs like the Invesco S&amp;P 500 Low Volatility ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPLV#NYSE">SPLV</a>) seeing inflows, the shift towards safety is clear. But JPMorgan warns that a further rate drop could push low volatility stocks into bubble territory, much like 2016.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">High-Volatility Bargains</h4>
According to JPMorgan, stocks that have seen heavy multiple compression, making them attractive for value-seeking investors, include:
Semiconductors: Monolithic Power Systems Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MPWR#NASDAQ">MPWR</a>), Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) and Advanced Micro Devices Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>))
Software: (Synopsys Inc (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/snps#NASDAQ">SNPS</a>), Cadence Design Systems Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CDNS#NASDAQ">CDNS</a>), ServiceNow Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NOW#NYSE">NOW</a>))
Tech Hardware: (Arista Networks Inc (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/anet#NYSE">ANET</a>), NetApp Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NTAP#NASDAQ">NTAP</a>), Dell Technologies Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DELL#NYSE">DELL</a>))
However, without an intra-cycle reset or Fed pivot, a broad move into beaten-down growth stocks may be premature.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">The Fed's Next Move</h4>
If rate expectations shift lower, expect bond proxies to gain further. If not, the defensive rally may stall, forcing a reassessment of positioning.
Momentum traders just got whipsawed and the rotation into low-volatility stocks has been rapid. While some safety plays look solid, overheating risks remain.
Investors should watch for signs of a structural shift &#8211; and be ready to pivot before the next wave hits.

To gain an edge, this is what you need to know today.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Pay Attention To Sentiment</h4>
Please <a href="https://thearorareport.com/stock-market-chart-analysis-micron-earnings-fedex-sentiment-shift-mu-mc-03212025">click here</a> for a chart of Micron Technology Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MU#NASDAQ">MU</a>).
Note the following:
<ul>
<li>This article is about the big picture, not an individual stock.&nbsp; The chart of MU stock is being used to illustrate the point.</li>
<li>The chart of MU stock is important as it demonstrates the behavior of non-momo crowd investors towards tech stocks has changed, while the momo crowd is sticking to its old behavior.</li>
<li>The chart shows momo crowd buying ahead of Micron earnings.&nbsp; Since the momo crowd buys on hopium and does not take risk into account, the momo crowd buys ahead of earnings.&nbsp; In contrast, smart money tends to control risk ahead of earnings, since earnings is a risk event.</li>
<li>The chart shows the momo crowd aggressively running up MU stock after earnings to over $109.&nbsp; Micron earnings were better than the consensus and whisper numbers.</li>
<li>If the same earnings were reported at any time over the last two years, this morning MU stock would have rocketed further, perhaps to $120.&nbsp; Instead, the chart shows MU stock has fallen to $99.45 as of this writing in the premarket, not only giving up its gain but also turning negative.&nbsp;&nbsp;</li>
<li>In our analysis, non-momo crowd investors took advantage of momo crowd buying and sold into the strength.  The same pattern is being seen in many tech stocks.  </li>
<li>Micron is one of the three largest manufacturers of semiconductor memory in the world.&nbsp; Semiconductor memory has become the lifeblood of the modern economy.</li>
<li>More important is that Micron produces the most advanced high bandwidth memory.&nbsp; High bandwidth memory is essential for AI.</li>
<li>The reversal in MU stock is causing sentiment to dampen on all tech stocks.</li>
<li>We have previously shared with readers about Nvidia GTC.&nbsp; In terms of Nvidia suppliers, Micron is the biggest beneficiary of what we learned at Nvidia GTC about NVIDIA Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) new chips.&nbsp; Information from Nvidia GTC is negative for Advanced Micro Devices Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>), Intel Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>), and Broadcom Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>).</li>
<li>Yesterday was Nvidia's first ever Quantum Day.  We wrote in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/03/44421496/nvidias-first-quantum-computing-day-4-5t-quad-witching-european-banks-beat-tech-stocks-by-34">yesterday's </a>Morning Capsule:</li>
</ul>
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">In our analysis, there is a high probability of a sell-the-news reaction in quantum stocks.  Quantum computing has the potential to be bigger than the internet.
</blockquote>
<ul>
<li>The Arora Report's call about quantum computing has proven spot on.  Quantum computing stocks such as IONQ Inc (IONQ), Rigetti Computing Inc (RGTI), D-Wave Quantum Inc (QBTS), Quantum Computing Inc (QUBT), and Arqit Quantum Inc (ARQQ) have experienced major drops.</li>
<li>Adding to the pall for non-tech stocks this morning are earnings from FedEx Corp (FDX).&nbsp; FedEx is a global shipping and logistics giant.&nbsp; FedEX earnings, in big part, depend on the strength of the global economy.&nbsp; FedEx reported earnings below consensus and whisper numbers.&nbsp; FDX stock is down over 9% as of this writing in the premarket.</li>
<li>After FedEx hurting consumer discretionary stocks this morning are earnings from Nike Inc (NKE). The Nike turnaround is going to take longer under its new highly respected CEO. As full disclosure, NKE is in the Portfolio that surrounds The Arora Report&#8217;s ZYX Buy Core Model Portfolio.</li>
<li>Helping cushion in the drop in the stock market this morning is the expiration of futures this morning.&nbsp; Options will expire at the end of the day and may exert upward pressure.&nbsp; $4.5T of derivatives are expiring today.</li>
<li>In the Afternoon Capsule after the Fed announcement, we shared with you that the stock market was running up on aggressive momo crowd buying.&nbsp; At a time when the stock market was running up on aggressive buying, we wrote:</li>
</ul>
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">Powell has done a masterful job of comforting the stock market.  However, prudent investors should note that the risks are not balanced anymore and the dot plot is mildly more hawkish.  Right now, the momo crowd is buying stocks as Powell provides comfort.  Smart money is not likely to find the same comfort that the momo crowd is finding.
</blockquote>
<ul>
<li>The foregoing call has proven spot on.&nbsp; The stock market has now given up all of the Fed rally and more.</li>
<li>The stock market needs to make a stand right around here and go up.&nbsp; Otherwise, the momo crowd will incur major losses.&nbsp; In The Arora Report analysis, if the momo crowd incurs major losses, they will have less buying power to run up the stock market.&nbsp; Over the last two years, the momo crowd has been the primary force running up the stock market.&nbsp; It is important to pay attention to the momo crowd's buying power.&nbsp;&nbsp;</li>
</ul>
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Germany</h4>
In a watershed event, for the first time since World War II, Germany approved 500B euros in infrastructure and defense spending in addition to a borrowing increase.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Magnificent Seven Money Flows</h4>
In the early trade, money flows are negative in Apple Inc (AAPL), Amazon.com, Inc. (AMZN), Alphabet Inc Class C (GOOG), Meta Platforms Inc (META), Microsoft Corp (MSFT), NVIDIA Corp (NVDA), and Tesla Inc (TSLA).
In the early trade, money flows are negative in SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (SPY) and Invesco QQQ Trust Series 1 (QQQ).
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Momo Crowd And Smart Money In Stocks</h4>
Investors can gain an edge by knowing money flows in SPY and QQQ.  Investors can get a bigger edge by knowing when smart money is buying stocks, gold, and oil.  The most popular ETF for gold is SPDR Gold Trust (GLD).  The most popular ETF for silver is iShares Silver Trust (SLV).  The most popular ETF for oil is United States Oil ETF (USO).
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Bitcoin</h4>
Bitcoin is range bound.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Protection Band And What To Do Now</h4>
It is important for investors to look ahead and not in the rearview mirror.  The proprietary protection band from The Arora Report puts all of the data, all of the indicators, all of the news, all of the crosscurrents, all of the models, and all of the analysis in an analytical framework that is easily actionable by investors.
Consider continuing to hold good, very long term, existing positions. Based on individual risk preference, consider a protection band consisting of cash or Treasury bills or short-term tactical trades as well as short to medium term hedges and short term hedges. This is a good way to protect yourself and participate in the upside at the same time.
You can determine your protection bands by adding cash to hedges.&nbsp; The high band of the protection is appropriate for those who are older or conservative. The low band of the protection is appropriate for those who are younger or aggressive.&nbsp; If you do not hedge, the total cash level should be more than stated above but significantly less than cash plus hedges.
A protection band of 0% would be very bullish and would indicate full investment with 0% in cash.&nbsp; A protection band of 100% would be very bearish and would indicate a need for aggressive protection with cash and hedges or aggressive short selling.
It is worth reminding that you cannot take advantage of new upcoming opportunities if you are not holding enough cash.&nbsp; When adjusting hedge levels, consider adjusting partial stop quantities for stock positions (non ETF); consider using wider stops on remaining quantities and also allowing more room for high beta stocks.&nbsp; High beta stocks are the ones that move more than the market.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Traditional 60/40 Portfolio</h4>
Probability based risk reward adjusted for inflation does not favor long duration strategic bond allocation at this time.

Qualcomm Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QCOM#NASDAQ">QCOM</a>) has launched three new Snapdragon G-series platforms designed to elevate handheld gaming experiences across various platforms.
What Happened: At the Game Developers Conference on Monday, Qualcomm unveiled these chipsets for handheld gaming devices and consoles. These latest additions to Qualcomm&#8217;s gaming processor lineup provide gamers with a broader selection of options across various platforms, including cloud, console, Android, and PC, according to <a href="https://wccftech.com/qualcomm-unveils-three-new-snapdragon-g-series-socs-for-gaming-handheld-devices/">a</a> report by Wccftech.
The Snapdragon G3 Gen 3, the most potent G-series chipset from Qualcomm to date, is specifically engineered for Android-powered handheld gaming devices.
Qualcomm&#8217;s chipset boosts CPU performance by 30% and graphics power by 28% while supporting Wi-Fi 7 for lower latency and better connectivity.
The&nbsp;Snapdragon G2 Gen 2 chipset, optimized for cloud gaming, offers substantial performance enhancements. Qualcomm claims its new version offers 2.3x faster CPU and 3.8x faster GPU performance, along with Wi-Fi 7 support for smoother gaming up to 144FPS.
The Snapdragon G1 Gen 2, designed for handheld cloud gaming on Android, supports 1080p at 120FPS. It boasts an 80% faster CPU and 25% faster GPU than its predecessor, offering a budget-friendly gaming option.
The chipmaker has also announced&nbsp;collaborations with brands such as&nbsp;Ayaneo, Onexsugar, and Retroid Pocket, and expects&nbsp;gaming devices powered by the&nbsp;latest Snapdragon G-series chips to hit the market within the first&nbsp;quarter of 2025.

Why It Matters: Qualcomm&#8217;s renewed efforts into the handheld market come as Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) continues to dominate the segment, particularly following the launch of its Phoenix APU generation.
Qualcomm unveiled the first Snapdragon G3x Gen 1 chip in December 2021, followed by the Snapdragon G2x Gen 2 in 2023, alongside the Snapdragon G2 and G1, catering to three tiers of gaming performance. However, it faced challenges due to its emphasis on Arm-based chips instead of x86 processors.
Qualcomm's strong emphasis on leading-edge innovation will likely give it a competitive edge in the long run. The latest Snapdragon G-series chipsets highlight Qualcomm&#8217;s aim of delivering improved gaming experiences across various platforms.
Earlier in February, Qualcomm introduced a new brand portfolio,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/02/43939774/qualcomm-unveils-dragonwing-to-articulate-the-value-proposition-for-customers">Dragonwing</a>, which operates outside of Snapdragon and covers sectors like industrial and embedded IoT, networking infrastructure, and cellular infrastructure. 
Qualcomm holds a momentum rating of 37.65% and a growth rating of 72.55%, according to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/report/QCOM" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga&#8217;s Proprietary Edge Rankings</a>. The Benzinga Growth metric evaluates a stock's historical earnings and revenue expansion across multiple timeframes, prioritizing both long-term trends and recent performance.

Qualcomm stock dropped 1.05% to close at $156.29 on Tuesday. The stock has lost over 10% in the past six months.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.
