Over the past couple of years, Google has actually always been rejecting the upper channel resistance trendline with the only exception being the 2021 breakout. Following this previous behaviour, another bearish rejection is probable although bulls remain overall in control.

Alphabet
GOOGLE: Clear pattern of behavior begins to give warnings!!!On February 4th, Alphabet (Google) presented its results. The figures were positive, and show that the company's business continues to grow at a good pace (+13%). However, the slight disappointment of the cloud storage business caused the market to react with significant falls on the day of its publication (-7%) (February 4th). Since then it has not stopped falling, reaching a cumulative fall of almost -12% from its highs.
---> What does it look like technically?
If we look at the graph, there is a clear PATTERN of BEHAVIOR that has been repeated on the last 2 occasions in which Google experienced a correction phase.
---> What PATTERN are we talking about?
What is clearly observed in the graph is that the following 4 warnings occur (one after the other), before starting a new bullish impulse to attack highs:
1) Oscillator warns of overselling (blue diamond that can be seen in the oscillator at the bottom. I have painted a vertical blue line).
2) Once the oversold signal appears, the price is supported by its bullish trend line, which also always coincides with a Fibonacci retracement of between 50% and 61.8%.
3) The bullish (Bull) signal of MOMENTUM appears.
4) The FORCE also turns bullish (Bull) (the candles turn blue).
--> What happened today?
The oversold signal has appeared again in the oscillator (point 1), and it has also been supported by its bullish trend line which coincides with a Fibonacci retracement of almost 61.8% (point 2).
---> What do we need now to be sure that it will go for new highs?
That both the MOMENTUM and the STRENGTH turn bullish (Bull). At the moment they are still bearish and therefore we have to wait.
--- What strategy can we follow?
1) Aggressive profile: Enter long when the MOMENTUM turns bullish (Bull). (at point 3).
2) Conservative profile: Enter long when the MOMENTUM and the STRENGTH turn bullish (Bull). (enter long when point 4 occurs).
If everything goes as normal, tomorrow it is VERY LIKELY that we will see the bullish (Bull) MOMENTUM signal and therefore, we will be able to think about whether or not to go long depending on our investor profile.
Greetings and good trading!
Alphabet (GOOGL) Stock Drops 10% – What's Behind the Decline?Alphabet (GOOGL) Stock Drops 10% – What's Behind the Decline?
As the stock chart for Alphabet (GOOGL) shows, on 4 February, the share price reached a historic high above $205. However, despite surpassing analysts’ expectations, GOOGL shares dropped sharply after the earnings report was released:
→ Earnings per share: actual = $2.15, forecast = $2.12
→ Gross revenue: actual = $187.8 billion, forecast = $187.3 billion
As a result, GOOGL's current price is approximately 10% below its all-time high. Market sentiment may have turned negative due to several factors:
→ Cloud revenue fell short of expectations, raising concerns about Alphabet’s ability to compete in the rapidly evolving AI sector.
→ Weaker-than-expected advertising revenue from Google, Alphabet’s core business. While advertising revenue grew by 10.6% to $72.46 billion in Q4 2024, analysts had anticipated a 12% increase.
→ Alphabet announced plans to significantly increase capital expenditures next year to around $75 billion, prompting questions about the impact on depreciation and profitability.
Additionally, news that China has launched an antitrust investigation into Alphabet—potentially in response to tariffs imposed on Chinese goods by the Trump administration—may have weighed on the stock price.
Technical Analysis of Alphabet (GOOGL)
GOOGL remains within an upward trend channel (marked in blue on the chart), with the price having pulled back to key support levels, including:
→ The lower boundary of this trend channel
→ The $180.90 level, marking the top of the bullish gap from 10 December
→ The psychological level of $180, which acted as resistance in late 2024 (indicated by arrows)
This suggests that the downward momentum caused by the earnings report could slow down or even reverse, meaning the current price action may be a pullback within the prevailing uptrend.
Should You Buy GOOGL Stock Now?
According to a report from The Smart Investor via Yahoo, investors should not be overly concerned, as:
→ Alphabet's strong cash flow will allow it to fund its planned $75 billion in capital investments without issue.
→ The company’s leadership stated that demand for its AI-driven products currently exceeds supply.
Meanwhile, analysts surveyed by TipRanks believe Alphabet can overcome its challenges:
→ 27 out of 37 analysts recommend buying GOOGL, with none advising to sell.
→ The 12-month average price target for GOOGL is $215.85.
Overall, while short-term volatility remains, long-term prospects for Alphabet appear solid. Investors with a longer time horizon may see this dip as a buying opportunity.

Alphabet (Google) Stock Approaches Critical SupportIn recent sessions, Google's stock has recorded a decline of over 8% in just a couple of trading days, as market confidence weakens following the company's latest earnings report (February 4). Google Cloud services revenue grew by 30% , falling short of the expected 35% , signaling that competition in the cloud sector is becoming increasingly aggressive for Alphabet. This has dampened growth prospects for the company, leading to sustained selling pressure on the stock.
Uptrend at Risk
Google has maintained a solid uptrend since September 2024, with bullish momentum pushing the stock above the $200 per share level. However, the recent short-term bearish bias has cast doubts on the stock’s strength, as the price now approaches the trendline support level, where sellers must prove whether this movement is just a correction or a sign of a stronger bearish shift in the short term.
MACD Indicator
Currently, both the signal line and the MACD line have adopted a downward slope, while the histogram remains oscillating near the neutral 0 level. This indicates that the previous bullish dominance has faded, and if the histogram continues moving further away from the neutral zone, it could reinforce a stronger selling bias in the coming sessions.
Key Levels:
$200: The most important resistance level, aligning with previous highs in Google’s stock. A rebound to this level could revive the long-term uptrend.
$187: A critical new support zone, aligning with previous lows and the uptrend line support. Sustained movements below this level could reinforce the current bearish bias and threaten the long-term uptrend.
$173: A major support level, corresponding to previous neutral price zones. A breakdown to this level could signal the beginning of a much more extended downtrend.

GOOGLE: Historic profits!! What is the reason for the fall?GOOGLE has been falling on the stock market since late yesterday, after presenting its results with the market already closed. Google's parent company achieved a historic profit of more than 100 billion dollars and revenues for the entire year of 350 billion. However, its shares are dyed red in the pre-opening.
--> What is the reason for the fall?
One possible cause would be that the fourth quarter revenues did not reach what was expected, which see in these numbers a sign that Google's parent company was being affected by the increase in competition in the digital advertising market and the slowdown of its cloud computing business.
A second reason is that Google surpassed historic highs days ago and it could be a MANIPULATION and PROFIT-TAKING movement by some FUNDS taking advantage of the volatility of the value to present results. In any case, the results ARE GOOD and the TECHNICAL ASPECT is good, so if nothing strange happens, the trend in Google will continue to be bullish.
--> What technical aspect does it have now after the -7% fall?
If we look at the graph, the technical aspect is still clearly bullish (Bull). In addition, it did not lose any of its main supports, so we will continue to think about long positions.
--> When could we enter?
The table shown in the graph indicates that the MOMENTUM in H1, H4 and DAILY time frames is bearish (Bear) and also the STRENGTH in H1 is bearish (Bear). Therefore, to ensure that the pullback has ended, we have to wait for at least in H4 the MOMENTUM to turn bullish (Bull) again. And when could this happen? When the price exceeds the 198 zone, it is very likely that the IVO indicator will already show us bullish MOMENTUM ( Bull ).
(If it happens before, I will update the analysis to anticipate the entry).
--> What important support does Google have?
The 184 zone is a very important support zone that, if not respected, we could see a much deeper retracement phase.
-------------------------------------
Strategy to follow:
ENTRY: We will open 2 long positions if the H4 candle closes above 198.
POSITION 1 ( TP1 ): We close the first position in the 208 zone ( +4.8%)
--> Stop Loss at 188.9 ( -4.8%).
--> Ratio 1:1
POSITION 2 ( TP2 ): We open a Trailing Stop type position.
--> Initial dynamic Stop Loss at (-4.8%) (coinciding with the 188.9 of position 1).
---We modify the dynamic Stop Loss to (-1%) when the price reaches TP1 (208).
-------------------------------------------
SET UP EXPLANATIONS
*** How do we know which 2 long positions to open? Let's take an example: If we want to invest 2,000 euros in the stock, what we do is divide that amount by 2, and instead of opening 1 position of 2,000, we will open 2 positions of 1,000 each.
*** What is a Trailing Stop? A Trailing Stop allows a trade to continue gaining value when the market price moves in a favorable direction, but automatically closes the trade if the market price suddenly moves in an unfavorable direction by a certain distance. That certain distance is the dynamic Stop Loss.
-->Example: If the dynamic Stop Loss is at -1%, it means that if the price drops by -1%, the position will be closed. If the price rises, the Stop Loss also rises to maintain that -1% in the rises, therefore, the risk is increasingly lower until the position becomes profitable. In this way, very solid and stable price trends can be taken advantage of, maximizing profits.
GOOGLE Buy the earnings dip and Target $215.Alphabet Inc. (GOOG) has been trading within a Channel Up since the September 09 2024 Low. Just last Friday it formed a Bullish Cross on its 1D MACD and is rising, which inside this Channel Up pattern, has been a strong buy signal.
Given that the company's Earnings miss will force the stock to open near or at the 1D MA50 (blue trend-line), take this excellent dip opportunity to buy the technical pattern and target $215, which is the standard +15% Higher Lows rebound the Channel had on each Bullish Leg.

Google: Room to Head HigherFor the past two months, GOOGL has been stuck in a sluggish sideways phase, with even its latest breakout attempt quickly sold off. During the magenta wave , we still expect a new high, though a direct transition into the subsequent wave remains technically possible. In our 33% likely alternative scenario, we would have to reckon with a significantly delayed continuation of the overarching upward cycle. In this case, GOOGL would still be working through the (intermediate) correction of the green wave alt. , which would bottom below the support at $147.22.
GOOGL Alphabet Options Ahead of EarningsIf you haven`t bought the dip on GOOGL:
Now analyzing the options chain and the chart patterns of GOOGL Alphabet prior to the earnings report this week,
I would consider purchasing the 200usd strike price Calls with
an expiration date of 2025-2-7,
for a premium of approximately $7.20.
If these options prove to be profitable prior to the earnings release, I would sell at least half of them.
The Magnificent Seven Stocks: A Stellar 2024 and Uncertain 2025The Magnificent Seven Stocks: A Stellar 2024 and an Uncertain 2025
The Magnificent Seven is a term used to describe the seven largest technology companies that dominate the global economy through their scale, innovation, and high market capitalisation.
These companies are often key drivers of the US stock market, and in 2024 (as in 2023), they confirmed their leadership, with most outperforming the broader market indices. Below are approximate performance estimates for the end of 2024:
→ S&P 500 (US SPX 500 mini on FXOpen): +26%
→ Apple (AAPL): +38%
→ Microsoft (MSFT): +18%
→ Amazon (AMZN): +52%
→ Alphabet (GOOGL): +42%
→ Meta Platforms (META): +43%
→ Tesla (TSLA): +87%
→ Nvidia (NVDA): +189%
What does 2025 hold for the Magnificent Seven?
Motley Fool offers a cautious outlook for the coming year, suggesting that some of these leaders may run out of steam due to inflated stock prices relative to their intrinsic value and profit forecasts.
Zacks analysts have examined the fundamentals and identified three stocks from the Magnificent 7 that are worth considering for value investors:
1. Alphabet (GOOGL)
Alphabet has the lowest price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio among the Magnificent 7, standing at 23.9. While this doesn’t say it is a value stock (value stocks typically have a P/E below 15), it is relatively cheap compared to its peers. Moreover, Alphabet now pays dividends.
2. Meta Platforms (META)
Meta Platforms remains attractively valued with a forward P/E of just 25.8. It also boasts a relatively low price/earnings-to-growth (PEG) ratio of 1.3 (a PEG below 1.0 indicates a reasonable price relative to expected profit growth). The 1.3 PEG is appealing, and like Alphabet, Meta has started paying dividends.
3. Amazon.com (AMZN)
Once aiming to be the "store for everything," Amazon has expanded far beyond this with its AWS division, Whole Foods, sports and entertainment programming on Prime, and even chip manufacturing. Amazon has the lowest price-to-sales (P/S) ratio among the Magnificent Seven, at 3.8. Although a P/S below 1.0 is typically considered attractive, Amazon remains appealing to investors. For comparison, Microsoft’s P/S ratio is 13.1, while Nvidia’s is 29.

Google: There We Go!Since late October, the Alphabet stock has been rejected twice at the $181.61 resistance. This Monday, though, it achieved an impulsive rally above this critical level. This advance aligns perfectly with our primary scenario by propelling the magenta wave further upward, and we expect additional gains as this movement progresses. However, the development of the ongoing upward impulse would be significantly delayed in our 33% likely alternative scenario. In this case, Alphabet’s stock would still be working on the corrective green wave alt. and sell off below the support at $147.22.
Alphabet (GOOGL): Perfect wave reaction. This is our planWhat can we say except—just take a look at this. Alphabet ( NASDAQ:GOOGL ) has followed our analysis perfectly over the last two months, reacting strongly to the targeted area for wave B and selling off immediately after reaching the exact 78.6% Fibonacci retracement.
Fundamentally, pressure is mounting on Alphabet. Last Wednesday, U.S. prosecutors presented a case to the Department of Justice arguing that Google must sell its Chrome browser, share data and search results with rivals, and potentially sell Android to dismantle its monopoly on online search. This landmark case could reshape how users find information, creating uncertainty around Alphabet’s future operational structure.
From a technical perspective, we still anticipate more downside for $GOOGL. The level of $137.8 now appears even more significant. It aligns with the Fibonacci retracement of wave (2), the Point of Control (POC), and the wave C target—an extremely strong confluence zone. This makes $137.8 a likely magnet and a strong candidate for support, offering a potentially lucrative long setup if the price reaches this level.
We are monitoring closely to see how NASDAQ:GOOGL performs in the coming weeks and how these levels react to ongoing market conditions and DOJ pressures.
Google: At the Resistance!Driven by bullish momentum in the tech sector, Google’s stock has recently gained as expected. The resistance at $181.61 has presented a key hurdle in recent weeks. However, our primary wave count indicates that this level will be surpassed next during the ongoing magenta wave . This bullish impulse should conclude significantly higher in the chart, thereby setting a new all-time high. Conversely, there’s a 38% chance for our alternative scenario, which suggests an extended wave alt. correction.
Google along with AI companies preparing for major rally to $216Cup and Handle is clearly forming on Google.
The AI companies are looking super bullish in the medium term and looks great for investing in.
Either there is going to be a HUGE breakthrough with AI soon or there are going to be favourable legislations and regs to change with Trump being President.
ALl in all technically, we are seeing up signs including:
Price> 20 and 200MA
Broken downtrend
Now we just need a breakout to the upside with the Cup and Handle.
Target $216.10
GOOGLE Enormous upside confirmed by a 1W Bullish Cross eyes $235Alphabet Inc. (GOOG) has been trading within a 2-year Channel Up since the October 31 2022 bottom of the Inflation Crisis Bear Cycle. Having already started the new Bullish Leg of the pattern following the rebound on the 1W MA50 (blue trend-line), the price completed last week a MACD Bullish Cross on the 1W time-frame, the first since March 25 2024. That was halfway through the previous Bullish Leg.
The 2-year Channel Up has only given us another 3 such MACD Bullish Crosses, so this is in fact a strong and rare bullish signal. As you can see, so far we've had two major Bullish Legs within the Channel Up, both topped after roughly +60% price increases and both reached at least the 2.382 Fibonacci extension measured from their respective corrections.
Since the 2.382 Fib extension is this time considerably above the Channel Up, it is only natural to assume that yet again the Bullish Leg may complete a +60% rise from the September 09 bottom.
As a result, our Target towards the end of Q1 2025 is $235.00.

Alphabet Inc. (GOOGL) Shares Rise to $180Alphabet Inc. (GOOGL) Shares Rise to $180 Following Earnings Report
On September 10, we noted that GOOGL shares:
→ Were forming an ascending channel (highlighted in blue on the chart below, updated with the latest trading data);
→ Could begin to rebound from the psychological support level of $150 (indicated by an arrow).
Since then, the price did indeed turn upward from that level, fluctuating in October between a support level of $160 and a resistance level of $168, signaling a supply-demand equilibrium.
However, this balance now appears to be shifting, as Alphabet Inc. (GOOGL) released its Q3 earnings report post-market yesterday, surpassing expectations:
→ Earnings per share: actual = $2.12, expected = $1.84
→ Gross revenue: actual = $88.27 billion, expected = $86.39 billion.
Investors were likely encouraged by the company’s statement that its AI investments are "paying off." Consequently, Alphabet's shares rose to $180 in after-hours trading, suggesting a likely opening at this level in today's main session.
Today’s technical analysis for GOOGL suggests that trading will likely open with a bullish gap, as:
→ The price breaks above its range, crossing the $168 resistance;
→ It reaches the median of the long-term ascending channel, where a new buyer-seller consensus may form.
If this bullish sentiment persists, GOOGL's price may continue climbing toward its historical high near $190 this year.
According to a TipRanks survey:
→ 22 out of 28 analysts recommend buying GOOGL shares.
→ The average 12-month price target for GOOGL is $201.54.

Alphabet (Google) Cup and Handle Bullish Technical FormationIn the domain of technical analysis of market prices, a cup and handle or cup with handle formation is a chart pattern consisting of a drop in the price and a rise back up to the original value, followed first by a smaller drop and then a rise past the previous peak. It is interpreted as an indication of bullish sentiment in the market and possible further price increases.
The cup part of the pattern should be fairly shallow, with a rounded or flat "bottom" (not a V-shaped one), and ideally reach to the same price at the upper end of both sides. The drop of the handle part should retrace about 30% to 50% of the rise at the end of the cup. For stock prices, the pattern may span from a few weeks to a few years; but commonly the cup lasts several months, while the handle should last for a shorter time.
A cup and handle formation is considered significant when it follows an increasing price trend, ideally one that is only a few months old. The older the increase trend, the less likely it is that the cup and handle will be an accurate indicator. The trade volume should decrease along with the price during the cup and should increase rapidly near the end of the handle when the price begins to rise.
The main technical graph for Alphabet Inc (Google) stock indicates on Cup and Handle Bullish Technical formation, since the price rose heavily over 2-years period of time (mid-2022 to mid-2024), and then 0.382x Fib retraced so far from its historical peaks.
This one can be entitled for so-called "cup and handle" respectively, with a further upside potential.
