GOOGL trade ideas
Goog: Is that a bullish blowout or blow off top?Today's candle on google is a doozy. Way gap up and drop till the end of the day, closing way above Bollinger bands and extreme volume spike; all making of a blow off top condition. Next week, we could see some strength to go a bit higher, but, it should run out of steam first. These conditions call for a short, but have to be careful on a massive blowout situation. Next week, a small portion on a Put fly at the open might not be a crazy idea. Target back to $162 - $158 retest, with a hedge on the upside if it makes it to $182. Eventually, we might see the $144 gap close before the final leg up towards next year.
GOOG Alphabet Options Ahead of EarningsIf you haven`t bought the dip on Alphabet:
Then analyzing the options chain and the chart patterns of GOOG Alphabet prior to the earnings report this week,
I would consider purchasing the 165usd strike price Calls with
an expiration date of 2024-6-21,
for a premium of approximately $5.50.
If these options prove to be profitable prior to the earnings release, I would sell at least half of them.
Still Holding Support Till Further Notice...Every article on google is bearish just like every other time it has gapped down aggressively.
This GAP is almost 100% going to fill. When, I do not know.
I think it could consolidate here and pop to 155 to create triple negative divergence AND produce a lower high even after a gap fill.
If we fall and loose this red 55 day MA, the algorithm will flip to bearish.
Google Takes Flight: Soaring Valuation, Strong Earnings, and RewAlphabet Inc., Google's parent company, is experiencing a period of phenomenal growth. The tech giant is on the cusp of a historic milestone – a market capitalization approaching $2 trillion. This achievement comes alongside impressive quarterly earnings that surpassed analyst expectations, solidifying investor confidence. Further sweetening the deal for shareholders, Alphabet recently distributed its first-ever dividend and announced a substantial $70 billion stock buyback plan.
The meteoric rise in market value reflects investor optimism about Google's future. The company's core advertising business remains robust, fueled by the ever-increasing reliance on digital marketing. Google's dominance in search and its expansive network of online properties continue to generate significant advertising revenue. But Google's ambitions extend far beyond traditional advertising.
The company is at the forefront of artificial intelligence (AI) development. Its investments in AI research and applications are paying off, with innovations like Google Assistant and DeepMind showcasing the transformative potential of this technology. AI is being integrated across various Google products, enhancing user experiences and driving new revenue streams.
Another key driver of growth is Google Cloud. This segment, often overshadowed by the advertising juggernaut, is steadily gaining traction. Cloud computing is a rapidly expanding market, and Google Cloud is well-positioned to capture a significant share. With its robust infrastructure, suite of cloud services, and focus on security, Google Cloud is attracting major corporations looking for reliable and scalable solutions.
The recent surge in stock price also reflects the success of Alphabet's first-ever dividend payout. This move signals a shift in the company's strategy, acknowledging the growing base of long-term investors seeking regular returns. The dividend, coupled with the sizable stock buyback program, demonstrates Alphabet's commitment to rewarding shareholders and returning value. The buyback plan will reduce the number of outstanding shares, potentially driving up the stock price further.
However, Google's path to continued dominance isn't without challenges. Regulatory scrutiny over data privacy and antitrust concerns remain significant hurdles. The company faces intense competition from other tech giants like Apple and Amazon, all vying for dominance in the digital landscape. Additionally, the broader market environment could impact Google's performance. Economic downturns or fluctuations in interest rates could dampen investor confidence and affect advertising spending.
Despite these challenges, Google's future appears bright. The company has a proven track record of innovation, a diversified business model, and a strong financial position. With its recent stellar earnings report, soaring market value, and commitment to rewarding shareholders, Google is well-positioned to maintain its position as a tech leader for years to come.
Apr 26: Near a medium-term topThe huge gap up post-earnings on Friday is near the finals of the rally from Jan 2023 in the weekly chart.
A closer look at the 4-hour chart with the help of stochastic and RSI shows that one more high is needed early next week (Apr 29 - May 3) to establish a medium-term top before a sizeable drop will begin. I believe the earnings gap will be filled in the subsequent drop.
This will sync with the relief rally of NASDAQ:QQQ AMEX:SPY
Forecasted to Reach New All-Time High with +14% Upside PotentialHi Realistic Traders, let's delve into the technical analysis of NASDAQ:GOOG
Google has rebounded three times on the EMA200 Line with upward impulsive movement, indicating a continuation of the bullish trend. Additionally, it has formed a bullish chart pattern known as a falling wedge pattern. In March 2024, it broke out of the falling wedge pattern with a bullish full-body candlestick and higher-than-average 7-day trading volume . This higher-than-average trading volume is significant as it suggests increased market participation and conviction behind the price movement, reinforcing the validity of the breakout. Moreover, the MACD has made a bullish crossover, signifying a shift towards upward momentum. A bullish crossover in the MACD is a crucial signal in technical analysis, indicating a potential reversal from bearish to bullish sentiment. This occurrence is significant as it suggests strengthening buying pressure, often foreshadowing further upward movement in the price. Analyzing these technical factors, we forecast a potential upward movement to our designated target.
It is essential to note that the analysis will no longer hold validity once the target/support area is reached.

GOOG MAJOR TOP FORMING We are now entering an area of HIGH RISK 180 to 193 I would stand aside as the blowoff in this stock is rather clear in formation
Google Share Price Rose Post-market to a New All-time RecordGoogle Share Price Rose Post-market to a New All-time Record
Yesterday, after the close of the main trading session, a report on activities for the 1st quarter of Alphabet Inc. (Google's parent company) was published. The report was strong, exceeding investors' expectations.
→ Quarterly EPS = USD 1.89 (expected = USD 1.51), which represents a 15% increase year-over-year;
→ gross revenue = USD 80.539 billion (expected = USD 78.73 billion).
It was the fifth straight quarter in which Alphabet beat analysts' expectations on both revenue and profit. But the main surprise was the company’s decision to start paying dividends and increase the amount allocated for share buybacks to USD 70 billion.
According to Benzinga, Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai made a number of important announcements about the future:
→ The company's combined YouTube and Cloud business revenues will be USD 100 billion in 2024, indicating a growth rate of 25% in each of the next three quarters.
→ Pichai also expressed confidence in Alphabet's ability to manage investments in AI, announcing capital expenditures of USD 12 billion.
As a result, the share price of Alphabet Inc. Class A (GOOGL) surpassed USD 180 in post-market trading, setting a new all-time record. In premarket trading today, GOOGL is trading around USD 176.
According to technical analysis of GOOGL stock price:
→ The ascending channel, in which the price fluctuated during 2023-2024, is now expanding upward. Its upper limit of USD 200 per share could be considered a target for bulls, provided the current positive sentiment continues;
→ Surely, at the opening of today's main trading session, a bullish gap will form on the GOOGL stock price chart, which in the future may serve as an area of support, as it did in the past (as shown by the purple figures).
According to TipRanks, the average analyst price forecast for GOOGL is = USD 167 in 12 months, but given recent events, it would not be surprising to see forecasts revised upward.

GOOGLE with a bullish secret mountainI mean, let's be honest, everyone knows this pattern so I probably don't need to over-explain.
But basically, GOOGLE is quite bullish to 142.
The RSI on the bigger charts still have room to climb, and the smaller charts are all pretty high. The thing to notice is the rejection off a resistance trend, with a high short term RSI and a longer term RSI that is pumping. The high short term, at the rejection area implies that a drop would be soon to follow. That drop is starting to line up right with some pretty solid short term trend support. If the short term trend support holds up, we can keep pumping until we hit the next resistance trend, which would probably coincide with a cool down.
There are a few different paths that google could get up to the mid 140's, and the orange mountain drawing is one of them, and the one that provides a more natural growth in the short term with a healthier cool down. However, we could potentially see a more explosive move off the trend which might look more like this (pink)
On a trend break, depending on where this occurs, we could see some major downside (or some not so major downside depending on your position) with a nice little bounce back. Which might look more like this.
followed by a bounce somewhere (idk where) this is just a really really rough trading plan just incase we see a trend break and a drop. Lines are not accurate in terms of price and time frame.
If we drop to the secret base, maybe just under 126, expect a missile launch. Missile launch could be a dud and might not make it back past 133.

$GOOG Dreaded Double TopHere we are looking at NASDAQ:GOOG for long term market direction
We can see on the large time frame we are developing a double top scenario within a rising wedge.
With the higher time frames coming into focus as the dominant chart, we are likely to see Google fall over the coming weeks to close gaps at or very near to 143 and again at 112.
If you inspect the Daily CCI you will see we are breaking negatively to the downside below the zero line and implying a pick up in speed Coming Soon ™ on an impending pullback.
If the Daily CCI holds here we could see support forming for a leg Higher.
GOOG “Google” signaling Bearish Divergence before earnings!!!!This is a crucial week for the tech industry with the Mag 7 approaching earnings, and GOOG “Google” particularly has earnings Thursday After-Hours. We’ve been displaying Bearish divergence since January, and currently forming a Head & Shoulders pattern……given the current market sentiment I believe we could see a nice pull back from Google before continuing to the upside. Long-term I’m definitely bullish on GOOG, however short term I believe we’re due for a pullback!

Google Set to Scrap Minimum Wage Stock Drop 1%Alphabet Inc.'s Google ( NASDAQ:GOOG ) has announced its decision to reverse the policy requiring its US-based suppliers and staffing firms to provide their employees with at least $15 per hour as well as health insurance and other benefits. The move allows the tech giant to avoid bargaining with unions and comply with evolving US and global labor regulations concerning contingent workers. This change, along with measures such as restricting access to internal systems for temporary workers and vendors, aims to clarify that Google is not and never has been the employer of the employees of its suppliers.
According to a Google spokesperson, these updates bring Google in line with other significant companies. This announcement follows a recent ruling by the US National Labor Relations Board that recognized Google as a 'joint employer' of workers supplied by Cognizant Technology Solutions, requiring the tech giant to negotiate with their union. Google is currently appealing the decision. The 2019 policy was used by the board as evidence that Google exercised control over workers, despite not employing them directly.
The labor board has made it more challenging for companies to avoid bargaining with temporary and contract workers. In 2020, it adopted a rule that considers companies to be the employers of contract workers if they have indirect control over working conditions. A federal judge blocked the rule from taking effect in March.
The spokesperson stated that Google ( NASDAQ:GOOG ) would continue enforcing its supplier code of conduct, which requires staffing firms and vendors to provide safe working conditions and fulfill current legal obligations. The majority of the company's suppliers operate in states that mandate a minimum wage of at least $15.

Alphabet Inc.'s Google Has Terminated 28 EmployeesAlphabet Inc.'s Google ( NASDAQ:GOOG ) has terminated 28 employees for their involvement in protests against Project Nimbus, a joint $1.2 billion agreement with Amazon.com Inc. to provide AI and cloud services to the Israeli government and military. The protests, organized by the No Tech for Apartheid campaign, took place on Tuesday across Google offices in New York City, Seattle, and Sunnyvale, California. Protesters in New York and California staged a nearly 10-hour sit-in, with others documenting the action through a Twitch livestream. Nine protesters were arrested on trespassing charges.
Several workers involved in the protests, including those not directly engaged in the sit-in, received a message from the company's Employee Relations group informing them that they had been put on leave. Google told the affected employees that it's "keeping this matter as confidential as possible, only disclosing information on a need-to-know basis" in an email seen by Bloomberg. On Wednesday evening, the workers were informed that they were being dismissed by the company, according to a statement from Google staff with the No Tech for Apartheid campaign.
Google's statement regarding the protesters stated, "Physically impeding other employees' work and preventing them from accessing our facilities is a clear violation of our policies, and completely unacceptable behavior. After refusing multiple requests to leave the premises, law enforcement was engaged to remove them to ensure office safety. We have so far concluded individual investigations that resulted in the termination of employment for 28 employees, and will continue to investigate and take action as needed."
The protest took place a day before the Israeli government approved its five-year strategic plan to transition to the cloud under Project Nimbus and expand digital services. Israel's Defense Ministry and military were listed in a government statement as partners in Project Nimbus, along with other government offices. A representative for Google said that the Nimbus contract is "not directed at highly sensitive, classified, or military workloads relevant to weapons or intelligence services."
Google ( NASDAQ:GOOG ) has long favored a culture of open debate, but employee activism in recent years has tested that commitment. Workers who organized a 2018 walkout over the company's handling of sexual assault allegations claimed that Google punished them for their activism. Four other workers alleged they were fired for organizing opposition to Google's work with federal Customs and Border Protection and for other workplace advocacy.
US labor law gives employees the right to engage in collective action related to working conditions. Tech workers will likely argue that this should grant them the ability to band together to object to how the tools they create are used, said John Logan, a professor of labor at San Francisco State University.
Tech companies like Google ( NASDAQ:GOOG ) have a reputation for having "more egalitarian and very cosmopolitan work cultures, but when they encountered labor activism among their own workers, they actually responded in a sort of quite draconian way," Logan added.
Two Google employees who were involved in the protest in California told Bloomberg that a group of workers gathered on the sixth floor of Google's Sunnyvale bureau, where Cloud Chief Executive Officer Thomas Kurian's office is located, to show support for those who were staging the sit-in. It's unclear how Google identified participants in the protest, as only some had their badges scanned by security personnel, and some of those who were fired were outside Google's offices, according to the employees.
One worker said Google ( NASDAQ:GOOG ) may have framed the move to initially place employees on leave as "confidential" to save face publicly, and argued that the protesters did not violate any company policies. The protesters left the building as soon as they were asked to and did not obstruct or disrupt others at the company, the person said.
Beyond the protest, Google ( NASDAQ:GOOG ) has struggled with how to manage internal debate about the Middle East conflict. After the demonstration, posts on internal Google forums featured a mix of pro-Palestinian and pro-Israeli sentiment, with a number of other workers saying they felt the topic was inappropriate for the workplace, a Google ( NASDAQ:GOOG ) employee said. Moderators locked down some threads on the subject, saying prior discussions had gotten too heated, the employee added.
Despite Google's response, employees demonstrating against Project Nimbus have seen an uptick in support since the sit-in, said one of the fired workers.
