CoreWeave Inc (NASDAQ:CRWV) shares are climbing Monday as dip-buyers step back in, betting that market fears over new competition in the AI compute space is overblown.
Additionally, shares of AI cloud services companies are trading higher Monday following TeraWulf’s 20-year compute agreement with Anthropic and reports suggesting that IREN is among final bidders to supply Anthropic 1.4GW of capacity in Australia.

What Is Driving CoreWeave’s Stock Today?
The recent sell-off was tied to chatter that Meta Platforms is exploring an expansion into AI computing services, which raised concerns it could become a new competitor in the “neocloud” market. Rosenblatt reiterated a Buy rating and kept a $250.00 price forecast, arguing demand checks for GPU capacity show no change and that shortages remain common.
Rosenblatt also argued Meta likely can’t resell capacity it has leased from CoreWeave through 2032, a key detail bulls are using to frame the competitive risk as more narrative than near-term revenue hit.
CoreWeave Stock: Key Levels To Watch
Even after Monday’s pop, the longer-term trend is still heavy: the stock is down 46.41% over the past 12 months and is trading well below its major moving averages (about 15% under the 20-day SMA and about 21% under the 50-day SMA). That “below all the averages” setup usually means rallies can turn into selling opportunities unless price can reclaim those trend lines.
Momentum also argues for caution: MACD is below its signal line and the histogram is negative, which suggests upside pressure is fading rather than building. In plain terms, MACD compares faster and slower trend momentum, and being below the signal line typically means the recent bounce hasn’t flipped the momentum backdrop yet.
- Key Resistance: $88.50 — a nearby ceiling where rebounds can stall, sitting just above current price and acting like a near-term pivot zone
- Key Support: $70.50 — a downside level near the lower end of the 52-week range where buyers previously showed up
Structurally, the chart is sending mixed messages: the 20-day SMA is below the 50-day SMA (bearish), but the 50-day SMA is still above the 200-day SMA after the golden cross in May. The problem is follow-through—shares have since slipped back under both averages, which has muted the bullish read from that May crossover.
What Is CoreWeave’s Business Model?
CoreWeave is a modern cloud infrastructure company that offers Nvidia GPUs and other essential AI hardware with optimized efficiency to handle the most demanding AI training and inference workloads. Its cloud platform supports the development and use of foundational large language models and the delivery of next-generation AI applications to satisfy the growing demand for AI around the world.
That’s why the Meta competition narrative matters: if hyperscalers or mega-cap platforms try to monetize excess compute, investors immediately question pricing power and customer stickiness for specialized GPU cloud providers. Bulls are leaning on the idea that GPU capacity is still tight and that existing contracts and access to hardware remain key differentiators.
