GOOG - Short PositionWhen looking at GOOG current underlying value and most recent price behaviour using a 2-hour range, investors can see inside bar formations. Underlying price movements of AAPL witnessed a loss of its initial gains in this instance, the inside bar formation suggest bareish continuation of momentum since most recent EMA dead cross.
Lateralized underlying price momentum was witnessed between 24/05/22 and 03/08/22. Fresh bullish crossovers occurred 4 times during this period, three dead crosses also occurred. This lateralized pattern saw underlying prices fall to as low as $100 and reach highs up to $120.
Bullish trends occurred after the fresh bullish EMA cross over witnessed on 03/08/22, underlying prices rising above 5%. When observing 50 and 100 day ranged EMA averages investors can see that on the 25/08/22 – 29/08/22 shorter 50-day EMA moving average crossed beneath the longer 100-day EMA moving average. This dead cross was followed by a strong down trend, underlying prices falling over 10%. Shorter 50-day EMA average dropped significantly bellow the longer 100-day EMA average.
Bullish momentum was rejected on 13/09/22. A hanging man, three bar formation can be witnessed indicating a weakness in preceding trend and an indecision with regards to the proposed top. Currently EMA moving average lines are not moving back towards one another, instead they are moving parallel with great difference between one another. Therefore, the down trend is more likely to continue.
Based on EMA moving averages, MACD and candlestick patterns and behaviour we are bareish in sentiment. We anticipate that the stock will fall further and have taken a short position as a result.

Google Alphabet Movement Prediction In this idea I show Google's movement as I see it playing out. I have been moving into different types of charts to challenge myself as I grow my skills. I have to say I think I will like charting stocks as they each are pretty unique and are in their own right a puzzle to solve. I see this movement as Google's struggle to figure out where they belong in an ever changing digital world as some of their products grow stagnant and are being outshined by such things as Amazon Web Services. If you agree throw me a like and follow me for more unique concepts and ideas that keep you in the gains.
Elliott Wave View: Alphabet (GOOGL) Likely See Further DownsideShort term Elliott Wave view on Alphabet (ticker: GOOGL) suggests the decline from 8.16.2022 peak is unfolding as a 5 waves impulse structure. Down from 8.16.2022 peak, wave ((1)) ended at 105.78 and rally in wave ((2)) ended at 111.62. Stock resumed lower in wave ((3)) towards 95.56 and rally in wave ((4)) ended at 102.93. Internal of wave ((4)) unfolded as an expanded flat Elliott Wave structure. Up from wave ((3)), wave (A) ended at 100.7, wave (B) ended at 95.12, and wave (C) ended at 102.93. This completed wave ((4)) as the 30 minutes chart below shows.
Wave ((5)) lower is in progress as a 5 waves impulse in lesser degree. The stock still needs to break below the previous low at 95.12 to rule out a double correction. Down from wave ((4)), wave 1 ended at 100.84, and rally in wave 2 ended at 102.67. Stock resumes lower in wave 3 towards 97.80, and rally in wave 4 ended at 99.27. Wave 5 lower ended at 97.01 which completed wave (1). Wave (2) rally ended at 99.25 as an expanded flat. Near term, as far as pivot at 102.93 high stays intact, expect the stock to extend lower.
Expecting a bounce back on Alphabet. GOOGFlat completed, now we are due for a bounce back, be it a dead cat bounce. Fib progression shows that there is still plenty of room (and time) for the market to show what it can do for the upside. Volatility flipped not too long ago on the 6 hourly also. Momentum uptrending for background.
We are not in the business of getting every prediction right, no one ever does and that is not the aim of the game. The Fibonacci targets are highlighted in purple with invalidation in red. Confirmation level, where relevant, is a pink dotted, finite line. Fibonacci goals, it is prudent to suggest, are nothing more than mere fractally evident and therefore statistically likely levels that the market will go to. Having said that, the market will always do what it wants and always has a mind of its own. Therefore, none of this is financial advice, so do your own research and rely only on your own analysis. Trading is a true one man sport. Good luck out there and stay safe.
GOOGL (Alphabet) to reach 112 by the end of AugustBackground
GOOGL has been trading in a channel between resistance level 119.68 and support between 105 and 102 since April 27th. On August 8th, GOOGL broke through the resistance level slightly before heading lower the next day, and it appeared that it was on it's way down to touch the support level for a 5th time in 3 months. But a surprise rally on August 10th sent the price towards the next resistance level of 122.85.
Analysis
While this appears to be a sustained rally, there have been 3 bearish key reversals in August. These are the first bearish reversals since May during which bullish reversals dominated (at least 6). This would indicate that a possible bearish move is imminent if the price bounces off the 122.85 resistance level in the next couple of trading sessions. The price could reach 112.50 by then end of the month.
What is a Key Reversal?
A bullish key reversal is when the price makes a new low, reverses, and closes near or on the high. A bearish key reversal is when the price makes a new high, reverses, and closes on or near the low.

Alphabet | Fundamental Analysis | Long | MUST READ Alphabet stock is down about 16% over the past 12 months as investors worry about the macroeconomic problems of its core advertising business. Rising interest rates and a looming recession have also put pressure on the stock.
But that short-term factor aside, Alphabet stock looks historically cheap at 21 times projected earnings. For the foreseeable future, the company will continue to dominate the markets for search, digital advertising, streaming video, Web browsing, and mobile operating systems. Although its cloud business is smaller than that of Amazon or Microsoft, it may also continue to grow.
So selling Alphabet just because its advertising business is going through some tough quarters could be a mistake. Let's take a closer look at where the tech giant's stock could be headed a year from now.
In the second quarter of 2022, Alphabet generated 81 percent of its revenue from Google's advertising business, which includes its main search engine, ad network, and YouTube site.
"The Bears argue that this business will struggle in the face of rising inflation and slowing economic growth. Google's ad business growth has certainly declined over the past year, but it is still growing year over year (YOY).
In this segment, YouTube initially grew faster than Google's search and advertising business. However, YouTube's growth slowed in the first half of 2022 as it struggled to match the post-pandemic recovery in ad sales a year earlier.
When Google's ad business weakened at the start of the pandemic in the first half of 2020, the company relied heavily on Google Cloud growth, which was offset by lockdown trends and the growing use of cloud services.
Google Cloud continues to grow at a faster rate than the advertising business, but it is also losing momentum and is not growing much faster than its larger peers. Amazon, which leads the cloud race with Amazon Web Services (AWS), increased its cloud revenue 33% from a year ago to $19.7 billion in the most recent quarter. Microsoft's total cloud computing revenue, including its Azure cloud platform, rose 28% to $25 billion in the latest quarter.
This is troubling because Google Cloud is not yet a profitable company, and it may have to offer the lowest prices and aggressive promotions to keep up with Amazon and Microsoft. Simply put, it's not a solid crutch for Google to lean on if its advertising business ever stagnates - because an increased share of cloud revenue would likely result in lower overall operating margins.
Alphabet expects its advertising business to continue to face difficult comparisons with the recovery from the lock-in through 2022. The company also expects the growth rate of its cloud business to slow in the near term as macroeconomic factors will cause some customers to either spend less money or put off purchases.
Alphabet hasn't provided exact projections for the rest of the year, but during a recent conference call, CEO Sundar Pichai said the company will "slow down hiring and increase its focus." In other words, the company is preparing for a slowdown by cutting back on fat but expects total capital investment to increase in 2022.
In 2021, Alphabet's revenues and earnings were up 41% and 91%, respectively, as the company recovered from the pandemic. But this year, analysts expect the company's revenue to grow 13% and profits to fall 8% from this difficult period. In 2023, they expect revenue and profits to grow 12% and 16%, respectively -- assuming the current risk factors subside.
We should take these estimates with caution, but they indicate that Alphabet's slowdown is likely to be temporary, and its core businesses will continue to grow. Alphabet stock is unlikely to take off in the next 12 months - because at the moment it just seems reasonably valued, not undervalued - but it will definitely go up in the next few years.
Alphabet Inc-Bullish Swing The 20-day ranged Bollinger band presents a support or lower bound (red line) equal to $105. This is the price in which the stock closed at yesterday the 26/07/22. Before today the, the stock’s price was equal to the Bollinger’s 20-day ranged support level indicating a bullish correction before further bearish movements in line with the current macroeconomic environment. Since trading has opened today, we have witnessed a correction towards the Bollinger’s resistance landing just beneath the Bollinger’s middle bound (orange line).
Bullish movements are further supported by RSI and SMA indicators. The purple RSI is beginning to cross the yellow SMA suggesting bullish stock price movements. Furthermore, the MACD indicator presents the red MACD line also crossing its blue signal further supporting a bullish swing before further bearish movement.
In line with these signals, I anticipate the stock to beat the Bollinger’s middle bound and anticipate a strengthening buying trend. For this swing trade, I have set a strike price equal to $112. My target is bullish, I will sell before the end of the week at price greater than this strike.
Insiders Knew Something...(READ CAREFULLY)If you had watched Uber's chart in the past two weeks you have probably realized that it goes one day +5% the other day -5%, next day +4% and again -4% ....;
Experienced traders know that's a scary signal that indicates company is running out of money and is scrambling to survive with speculation !
This common phenomenon (+5%, -4%, +4%, -5% ...,) happens just few weeks prior to bankruptcy.
Speculation is because of no operating income...!!! Has lost more than 60% in the last year and is taking its last breaths.
Now I know my ABC, next time will you sell with me?Alphabet - Short Term - We look to Sell at 2306.60 (stop at 2426.25)
The medium term bias remains bearish. The sideways consolidation continued although the market managed to post a significant low at 2037.69. Continued downward momentum from 2393 resulted in the pair posting net daily losses yesterday. Further downside is expected and we prefer to set shorts in early trade.
Our profit targets will be 2001 and 1949.50
Resistance: 2393.70 / 2457.09 / 2490.00
Support: 2114.63 / 2100.92 / 2037.69

GOOG: Have we reached the bottom?Alphabet
Intraday - We look to Buy at 2214 (stop at 2105)
Buying pressure from 2150 resulted in prices rejecting the dip. This is positive for sentiment and the uptrend has potential to return. There is scope for mild selling at the open but losses should be limited. Prices expected to stall near trend line support. Dip buying offers good risk/reward.
Our profit targets will be 2549 and 2600

Alphabet | Fundamental Analysis + NEXT TARGET | MUST READ | The countdown has begun. There are less than ten days to go before Alphabet's 20-to-1 stock split on July 15.
Many are undoubtedly contemplating buying up the tech giant's stock before the date. The idea behind such a decision is that Alphabet stock could jump if a lower price attracts an influx of small investors.
That could be a winning strategy. But here are a few reasons not to buy Alphabet stock before the split.
The need for cash in the near term
Never invest cash in a stock that you may need in the near term. The definition of "near term" may vary from person to person. However, a good rule of thumb is not to invest cash that you might need in the next five years.
The past few months have clearly demonstrated why such a cautious stance makes sense. The S&P 500 has experienced its worst first half of the year since 1970. Alphabet is performing worse than the S&P, with its stock down about 25 percent over the year.
There is no guarantee that Alphabet's impending split will serve as a positive catalyst. Amazon also had a 20-to-1 split last month. The company's stock didn't soar but instead fell. Alphabet may well suffer a similar fate.
Lack of diversification
Another straightforward reason why you shouldn't buy Alphabet stock before it splits is that your investments are not sufficiently diversified. The most obvious example of a lack of diversification, in this case, would be the fact that Alphabet already makes up the majority of your overall portfolio.
But you may also have most of your investments in other growth stocks that are highly correlated with the movement of Alphabet stock. In that case, buying Alphabet won't help improve the diversification of your portfolio.
The point of diversification is that it reduces overall risk. The old adage about not putting all your eggs in one basket is more relevant than ever.
Recession Concerns
If you fear a recession is just around the corner, you probably shouldn't buy Alphabet stock before the company does a split. The company's stock has not performed well during previous recessions.
For example, during the Great Recession of 2008 and 2009, Google stock fell more than 60 percent. During the short pandemic recession of 2020, the stock fell 23% below its previous high.
Concerns about the recession are understandable. Nearly 70% of economists surveyed by the Financial Times predict that the U.S. economy will enter a recession next year. Some investors, such as ARK Invest CEO Kathy Wood, believe we are already in a recession.
You may have noticed that none of the above reasons have anything to do with Alphabet itself. The need for cash in the near term, lack of diversification, and fears of an impending recession are legitimate reasons for not buying any stock.
Beyond that, we have not discussed the advantages of buying Alphabet before the split versus buying it after the split. No one knows what will happen next, as there are too many variables.
However, we can think of several good reasons for buying Alphabet that have nothing to do with the split. In particular, the company has an exceptionally strong business market. The likelihood that any competitor could knock Alphabet from its position seems very low.
Alphabet also has many growth drivers. Its core Google advertising business remains strong. Its Google Cloud division continues to show strong growth. And its famous "other bets" (especially Waymo's self-driving car technology business) could also contribute significantly over time.
Reasons to stay away from Alphabet focus on the short term. But for investors focused on the long term, any time could be a good time to buy the stock.
GOOG Alphabet Stock SplitGOOG 20-for-1 stock split is scheduled to occur on July 15.
Companies that that did stock splits statistically had outperform the market in the 12 months following the split.
I think we will se GOOG trading at $2350 ahead of the split.
Looking forward to read your opinion about it.
GOOGL dailyGreen zones are potential good area to average in shares.
