Alphabet Poised to Pencil in Inverted Head and Shoulders Pattern
Upcoming Earnings
Alphabet Inc. (ticker: GOOGL) is scheduled to report earnings before the market opens on 29 October. The consensus Earnings Per Share (EPS) estimate for the fiscal quarter ending September 2024 is US$1.83. The reported EPS for the same quarter a year prior was US$1.55.
Inverted Head and Shoulders Pattern Eyed
The Ichimoku Cloud (formed between the Leading Span A [light green at US$164.40] and the Leading Span B [light orange at US$158.19]) has recently echoed a bullish vibe, with the Leading Span A journeying above the Leading Span B. Given this, and with price currently testing the Ichimoku Cloud as a resistance and struggling to drive things lower, a breakout higher may develop.
Assuming a breakout north comes to fruition, this may set up a potential inverted head and shoulders pattern. Chart pattern traders would want to observe the formation of the pattern’s right shoulder and a push above its neckline to confirm the configuration, extended from the high of US$168.64.
Price Direction?
The lack of selling within the Ichimoku Cloud, along with the Leading Span A crossing above the Leading Span B, could eventually prompt a breakout to the upside, taking on the upper Ichimoku Cloud and the inverted head and shoulders pattern’s neckline. A move higher, therefore, might trigger additional buying, in line with the overall uptrend in play since late 2022.
