Reality check: NVDA target of $234 vs current price of $216, showing what that trade actually requires

Target conflict — $234 is not a scalp, it's a swing trade
$234 is $17.71 above current price — an 8.2% move. NVDA's ATH is $236.54. You'd be targeting within $2.54 of the all-time high on a $200 account with a 5-minute trade plan. These two things don't fit together.

Walls NVDA must break through to reach $234
$217.86 Friday session high. First real resistance. Many traders have sell orders parked here. Wall 1
$220.00 Round number. Psychological resistance. Needs strong volume to punch through. Wall 2
$236.54 All-time high, hit May 14. ATH acts as a massive ceiling — every holder from that level is underwater and wants out near here. ATH overhead
Macro US–Iran strikes ongoing, oil +4%, geopolitical headline risk is live. Any escalation kills a swing trade overnight. Risk factor
Two valid ways to trade this — pick one, not both
Option A — Scalp as planned. Buy ~$216, sell at $217.86 (Friday high), exit by 9:35 regardless. Hit your 1% target, protect the $200, log the win. Done in 5 minutes.
Option B — Swing trade with different rules. Buy at open, set stop at $211 (Friday close), target $234 over 3–7 days. Size smaller (0.5 shares). Accept overnight Iran/oil risk. Do NOT do this with a $200 account unless you can afford to lose $4–5 if it gaps down.
Do not mix them. Buying for a 5-minute scalp, then holding because it hasn't hit $234 yet, is how a planned $2 loss becomes a $10 loss when a headline drops at 2 PM.
