CRWV momentum + Vera Rubin validation

Buy CoreWeave (NASDAQ: CRWV). Nvidia’s Vera Rubin NVL72 is now live on CoreWeave, with strong performance-per-watt and cost claims plus deep partner validation. That turns a “promising platform” into “proven deployment,” and the stock is already breaking out (double-bottom, above 50-day EMA, above key neckline). Target $138 then $150 as momentum traders and AI infrastructure buyers pile in.

Key Risk: Vera Rubin demand disappoints—hyperscalers delay/scale back AI cluster orders, and the stock’s breakout fails back below the $114 neckline.

CRWV credit/depreciation squeeze hedge

Sell CoreWeave (NASDAQ: CRWV) short-term if the rally stalls. The thesis is that the market is underpricing the balance-sheet hit: depreciation is >50% of revenue and capex guidance is $30–$35B, while debt keeps rising. If the stock runs on hype, leverage + depreciation can quickly reassert as earnings pressure and refinancing risk.

Key Risk: CoreWeave converts backlog into cash fast enough that depreciation/capex doesn’t worsen—credit fears fade and the rally holds above $138.

  • CoreWeave stock price jumped to the crucial resistance level at $124.
  • The company has started to deploy the new Vera Rubin chips.
  • CoreWeave’s business continues growing, but key risks remain.

CoreWeave NASDAQ:CRWV stock price jumped to $120, its highest point since May 8, as investors cheered the latest news from Taiwan, where Nvidia launched several products. CRWV has soared by nearly 82% from its lowest point this year. It has formed a double-bottom pattern, pointing to more gains.

CoreWeave stock jumps as it validates Vera Rubin NVL72

CoreWeave, a company that Nvidia owns a 11% stake in, announced that its Essential Cloud for AI, launched NVIDIA Vera Rubin NVL72 on its CoreWeave cloud. This addition leverages its purpose-built software and engineering solutions to bring up Vera Rubin.

The solution is made up of 72 NVIDIA Rubin GPUs and 36 NVIDIA Vera CPUs per rack and is connected through 260 TB/s NVIDIA NVLINK 6th-generation fabric. According to its testing, it delivers up to 10x better performance per watt, up to one-fourth fewer GPUs, and lower costs NVIDIA Blackwell. In a statement, Craig Falls, the head of Quantitative Research at Jane Street, said:

"Their ability to deliver highly performant clusters with full cluster observability and a support team that engages deeply on hard problems gives us the confidence to partner with them on Vera Rubin.”

CoreWeave growth is accelerating

The new announcement came at a time when CoreWeave’s business is firing on all cylinders, a trend that analysts believe will continue. Its most recent results showed that its revenue backlog jumped to nearly $100 billion as it inked some major deals with companies like Meta Platforms, Anthropic, and OpenAI.

Its revenue soared from $982 million in the first quarter of last year to $2.078 billion in Q1 of this one. Most importantly, analysts believe that this growth will continue, with its annual revenue expected by 146% to $12 billion. This revenue is expected to hit $24.9 billion next year.

This growth will likely continue as the artificial intelligence boom accelerates, with the top hyperscalers pledging spending over $750 billion this year. Some of these funds will go to neocloud companies, including CoreWeave. 

Still, the company is facing major challenges. For example, the company continues to experience substantial depreciation, which jumped to over $1.14 billion from $443 million in the same period last year. Its depreciation was over 50% of its revenue. 

CoreWeave’s debt has also continued rising as the company predicts that it will spend between $30 billion and $35 billion in capital expenditure. Its short-term debt jumped to over $7.5 billion, while its long-term debt rose to over $17 billion. This explains why investors continue shorting the CRWV stock.

The daily chart shows that the CoreWeave stock formed a double-bottom pattern at $55.85, its lowest point in December last year and March 26. This pattern has a neckline of $114.30, its highest in January this year.

The stock has moved above the 50% Fibonacci Retracement. It also jumped above the 50-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA), a sign that bulls have prevailed. 

Therefore, the stock will likely continue rising as bulls target the key resistance level at $138, its highest point in May. A move above that level will point to more gains, potentially to the psychological level at $150.
