# Cipher Digital Stock Sinks To 52-Week Low - Here's Why

**Cipher Digital Inc.** (NASDAQ:CIFR) stock plunged nearly 12% Thursday, hitting a new 52-week low as concerns over artificial intelligence spending and financing weighed on technology stocks.

The Nasdaq fell 2.71%, while the S&P 500 declined 1.27%.

## AI Spending Concerns Pressure Cipher Digital

Cipher Digital fell alongside AI infrastructure stocks as investors questioned the capital needed to support rapid industry expansion.

Speaking to CNBC Thursday, **NVIDIA Corp.** (NASDAQ:NVDA) CEO **Jensen Huang** said demand for AI cloud services remains exceptionally strong. However, limited working capital is restricting growth.

Huang said demand for financing continues to outpace available capital across the AI industry.

## Technology Stocks Lead Market Declines

Technology was Thursday’s worst-performing sector, falling 3.15%. Meanwhile, investors shifted toward defensive stocks, lifting consumer staples 2.78% and utilities 1.56%.

Cipher Digital, which develops and operates high-performance computing data centers, remains sensitive to changes in AI infrastructure spending and financing conditions.

The stock also underperformed the broader technology sector, reflecting heightened selling pressure.

## Technical Analysis: Cipher Digital Stock Remains Oversold

Cipher Digital shares traded 37.5% below their 20-day simple moving average (SMA) of $12.94 and 55.1% below their 200-day SMA of $18.02.

The 50-day SMA of $15.24 remains below the 200-day average, reinforcing the bearish trend.

Meanwhile, the relative strength index (RSI) stood at 20.44, signaling deeply oversold conditions. Although this raises the possibility of a short-term rebound, selling pressure remains strong.

The previous 52-week low of $8.23 is now a potential resistance level, while the 20-day SMA at $12.94 presents another hurdle.

## Earnings And Analyst Outlook

Cipher Digital is scheduled to report third-quarter results Nov. 2.

Analysts expect a loss of 26 cents per share on revenue of $38.13 million, compared with year-earlier revenue of $71.71 million.

The stock carries a Buy consensus rating and an average analyst price forecast of $28.50.

**Cantor Fitzgerald** recently maintained its Overweight rating but lowered its price forecast to $19. **Morgan Stanley** also maintained its Overweight rating while reducing its forecast to $51.50. **UBS** initiated coverage with a Buy rating and a $23 forecast.
