Semiconductor stocks, lifted by AI demand and eased geopolitical tensions, are among the most overbought this week. The Polymarket contract on NVIDIA being the largest company by market cap on April 30 sits at 99.6% YES.
The April 30 market is at 99.6% YES, up from 99% a day ago. The June 30 market is at 92.5% YES, up from 90% a week ago.
NVIDIA’s rally coincides with the PHLX Semiconductor Index posting a record 17-day winning streak. The index’s relative strength index reads 81.98, well into overbought territory, but traders keep buying. Daily USDC volume on the April 30 market is $46,745, with enough liquidity that individual trades are unlikely to move the price.
The overbought conditions track real demand in AI. Broadcom reported $8.4 billion in AI revenue in Q1. Eased geopolitical tensions have reduced energy costs for chip makers, but supply chain problems remain: tungsten prices have spiked and manufacturing capacity is still concentrated in East Asia.
For traders, the April contract at 99.6¢ offers almost no upside. The June contract at 92.5¢ pays 1.08x if it resolves YES, but that bet requires NVIDIA to hold its lead for two more months through earnings and any supply chain disruptions.
Watch NVIDIA’s upcoming Q1 earnings report and geopolitical developments affecting semiconductor supply chains. An earnings beat or unexpected announcement could push the June contract higher; a miss or new trade restrictions could open up a gap.
