Nebius Group N.V. (NASDAQ:NBIS) stock fell on Wednesday as investors continued to unwind positions after the stock’s sharp rally earlier this year. The decline came even as the broader technology sector traded higher.

The Nasdaq gained 0.51%, the S&P 500 added 0.15% and the Technology sector rose 0.56%.

Nebius remains up 218.41% over the past 12 months. Such strong gains can leave momentum stocks vulnerable to sharper pullbacks when buying interest slows.

Market breadth remained slightly positive, with six sectors advancing and five declining. The advance-decline ratio stood at 1.2. Energy led the market with a 2.10% gain, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 1.01%.

Technical Picture Weakens

Nebius continues to hold above its long-term trend, but its intermediate trend has weakened.

The stock trades 19.7% below its 20-day simple moving average of $200.17 and 28.4% below its 50-day SMA of $224.31. However, it remains 14.2% above its 200-day SMA of $140.68.

The moving average convergence divergence indicator remains below its signal line, while the histogram is negative. That suggests bearish momentum continues to outweigh buying pressure.

The 20-day SMA has also moved below the 50-day SMA, a bearish short-term signal. However, the 50-day SMA remains above the 200-day SMA, indicating the longer-term uptrend is still intact.

The stock reached its 52-week high of $299.86 in June before establishing a more recent swing low in July.

Key resistance stands near $168.50, while support is around $132.50, just above the 200-day moving average.

Wall Street expects the company to report a loss of 73 cents per share, compared with a loss of 38 cents a year earlier. Revenue is projected to surge to $576.67 million from $105.10 million.
