Additionally, reports that DeepSeek is developing its own AI inference chips raised further concerns about the longevity of the broader compute buildout, accelerating the market-wide retreat from AI-related equities.Top Executives Disclose Multi-Million-Dollar Insider SalesRegulatory filings showed significant insider selling by senior Nebius executives, adding to negative investor sentiment on Monday.CEO Arkadiy Volozh sold 46,627 shares at $235.45 apiece for approximately $10.98 million.

But the near-term picture has weakened, with the stock 12.7% below its 20-day SMA ($244.90) and 4.1% below its 50-day SMA ($222.96), a setup that often keeps rallies "sold into" until price can reclaim those averages.
