deepseek stock price is seeing support around $41.50, a level it has tested three times over the last month. Institutional accumulation data shows buying pressure increasing, indicating confidence in the company’s R&D monetization potential. Alibaba is also working on AI chips and recently onboarded China Unicom as its first major external customer. Notably, Nvidia (NVDA) CEO Jensen Huang has long been warning that U.S. chip export controls would spur innovation in China, and his words seem prophetic as China pivots to domestic chips, which could shun the Santa Clara-based company from the world’s second-biggest market for AI chips. It's also unclear what type of pushback or reaction could come from the White House, given that Mr. Trump has raised the possibility of placing new tariffs on Chinese imports, although he also gave the Chinese-owned TikTok a reprieve by ordering the Justice Department not to enforce a looming ban . deepseek stock price edged up to $43.20 as market breadth improved in tech indexes. Options flow indicates higher call volume at the $45 strike, signaling speculative positioning ahead of next week’s industry conference.
