Monitor Vistra Stock Levels Following AI-Related Decline
18 minutes ago
Shares of nuclear energy company Vistra (VST), a favored choice among AI investors, experienced a slight decline on Friday, marking its fourth consecutive day of loss.
This week has seen pressure on AI-related stocks like Vistra, following remarks from Alibaba’s (BABA) chairman, Joe Tsai, who raised concerns about the potential for an AI data center bubble during a Tuesday investor briefing.
Last year, Vistra was a standout performer in the S&P 500 with a significant rise of about 250% driven by heightened demand for electricity needed to support energy-hungry AI operations. However, since peaking in late January, its stock has plummeted by 38%.
Recently, buying interest emerged just under the 200-day moving average (MA), prompting Vistra shares to establish a pennant pattern—a technical indication of a continued downward trajectory. After breaking below the pennant’s lower trendline on Wednesday, this may signal further declines alongside a drop in the relative strength index (RSI), now below the 50 level, which further indicates bearish momentum.
Investors should keep an eye on critical support thresholds for Vistra around $105 and $85. Important resistance levels, however, lie around $139 and $170. Currently, Vistra’s stock is trading slightly lower at approximately $119.
