CoreWeave Inc. (NASDAQ:CRWV) shares are trading higher on Wednesday as investors keep leaning into the bullish narrative around the company’s near-term catalysts and valuation debate.
- CoreWeave shares are trending higher. What’s driving CRWV shares up?
What Is Driving CoreWeave’s Stock Momentum?
Cantor Fitzgerald on Tuesday reiterated an Overweight rating and kept its $167 price forecast, arguing the market is “woefully undervaluing” CoreWeave and the broader “neocloud” group. Cantor also pointed to the June bond offering memorandum, where run-rate EBITDA was disclosed at $18.76 billion versus $16.10 billion in April, and modeled implied backlog at $125 billion (80% of the quarter) with a path to more than $131 billion by Q2 2026.
Separately, Nasdaq recently said CoreWeave will be added to the Nasdaq-100 as part of the June quarterly rebalance, effective before the market opens on June 22, a change that can force index-tracking funds to buy shares.
CoreWeave’s index-driven bid has also been competing with a fresh financing headline after the company priced $1.25 billion of 9.625% senior notes and €2.0 billion of 8.500% senior notes, both due 2032. That deal followed an earlier plan to raise $3.5 billion (or euro equivalent) for general corporate purposes, including repayment of existing debt, keeping leverage and liquidity in focus.
CoreWeave’s Key Moving Averages and Trends
CoreWeave is trading well above its major moving averages—about 13.1% above the 20-day SMA ($106.03) and about 19.6% above the 200-day SMA ($100.21)—which keeps the intermediate trend pointed higher despite choppy participation under the surface. The catch is the 20-day SMA remains below the 50-day SMA ($110.19), a bearish short-term alignment that can show up as pullbacks even inside a broader uptrend.
MACD is the cleaner momentum lens right now: it’s above its signal line and the histogram is positive, which suggests upside pressure is improving versus the prior downswing. In plain terms, when MACD is above its signal line, it often means sellers are losing control and rallies have a better chance of following through.
From a structure standpoint, the golden cross in May (50-day SMA moving above the 200-day SMA) supports the longer-term recovery attempt, but the stock is still down 30.28% over the last 12 months—so it’s more “rebuild” than “all-clear.” The recent swing low in March and swing high in May frame the current range, with traders watching whether price can keep holding higher lows while it digests the earlier breakout.
- Key Resistance: $125.00 — a nearby round-number area where rallies can stall if buyers don’t press through quickly
- Key Support: $103.00 — a nearby level that sits close to the broader moving-average zone and a prior area where buyers stepped in
