GOOGL Earnings Miss | YouTube revenue disappointsYouTube has more than 2bn monthly users.
YouTube revenues rose 14% to $6.9bn, below the $7.5bn expected by analysts.
YouTube revenue disappoints on growing TikTok competition concerns and Ukraine war which impacted YouTube ads.
GOOGL 23% increase in revenue in Q1 to $68bn, but below forecasts for $68.1bn.
In 2021, revenues increased 34%.
Considering the above, future growth is not so sure.
I expect a retracement to the $2100 level.

Alphabet Trend Briefing - 24th March. 2022When looking at a combination of indicators on the 15-minutes chart that best represents Alphabet's recent volatility, Mutiple kind of resistance line was found. When examining the minimum threshold for MACD and RSI, it shows strong support at the $2518 level. Using the red line as a stepping stone, stock prices are currently active around the yellow line at the $2674. Additionally, It is speculated that the first downside is not the real downside on the indicator.
Apple struggling to maintain the uptrendLike many tech stocks, NASDAQ:AAPL is flirting with the idea of breaking down. The stock hasn't made a move up in a while, although it traded above the 40EMA for a while compared to its peers like NASDAQ:AMZN & NASDAQ:FB . Last Friday is closed at the 40EMA level, this is a key support level that must hold if the stock want to continue to be in an uptrend. The small consolidation, or better, distribution, above this level paints a grim picture.
Few of our long trades failed in the past few weeks, we chose to stay on the side until a clear direction is taken, for long position that would be a close above $183. Given tech weakness, and now Shenzhen challenges, we wouldn't be surprised if the 40EMA fails and the stock trade lower. That would be bad news for TVC:NDQ as NASDAQ:AAPL , NASDAQ:MSFT & NASDAQ:GOOG were among the few tech stocks that still traded above the 40EMA level. Interesting week ahead, keeping an eye on these names.
Alphabet Inc. (GOOG) bullish scenario:The technical figure Triangle can be found in the US company Alphabet Inc. (GOOG) at daily chart. Alphabet Inc. is an American multinational technology conglomerate holding company. It was created through a restructuring of Google on October 2, 2015, and became the parent company of Google and several former Google subsidiaries. It is one of the Big Five American information technology companies, alongside Amazon, Apple, Meta and Microsoft. The Triangle has broken through the resistance line on 10/03/2022, if the price holds above this level you can have a possible bullish price movement with a forecast for the next 8 days towards 2 815.67 USD. Your stop loss order according to experts should be placed at 2 517.22 USD if you decide to enter this position.
Google is in talks to buy cybersecurity consultancy Mandiant, which two years ago discovered the infamous SolarWinds hack, according to a person with knowledge of the discussion. A deal could bolster Google’s cloud computing business, which generates more than $19 billion annually but has been losing billions of dollars a year, and help it compete with bigger rival Microsoft, which also is reportedly interested in buying Mandiant.

Furthermore, one understands that the company carries zero influence over transactions, markets, and trading signals, therefore, cannot be held liable nor guarantee any profits or losses.
GOOGLE Excellent long-term buy opportunity for a $5000 target. GOOG has been trading around its 1W MA50 (blue trend-line) for the past weeks. The Ukraine - Russia war has managed to keep the stock on those low levels, longer than it should but this is a position Google is familiar with.
Ever since the beginning of its trading, the stock has been experiencing phases of growth and then pull-backs to the 1W MA50. Only during the peak of the U.S. - China trade war and the COVID crash, did the price manage to break considerably lower (still the 1W MA200/ orange trend-line supported).
As you see on the chart, every time the 1W RSI prints a Lower Highs sequence, GOOG posts the same Channel Down pattern to the 1W MA50. In all past cases, the price recovered and expanded rapidly to make new Highs on the next Fibonacci extension. The most recent All Time High (ATH) was just below the 4.0 Fib ext. Technically next to fill is the 5.0 Fib which is around the $5000 mark. That is our target for the next expansion cycle that should peak within 2023.

Alphabet | Fundamental Analysis |LONG| MUST READ !There is no denying that Alphabet has become a force to be considered with. Indeed, not many companies can boast that their branded product or service has become a verb: "google it." Beyond search, Alphabet is a leader in digital advertising, smartphone operating systems led by Android, and cloud computing with the rapidly growing Google Cloud.
Recently, the tech giant informed about a historic 20-for-1 stock split, reducing the size of its stake for the first time in eight years. Now investors who have been considering buying the stock are encountered with a bothersome question: should they buy the stock now or wait until after the split?
It's been a long time since Alphabet held its last stock split. In fact, the last time it happened was when the company was still called Google. That was in 2014, and Google didn't change its name to Alphabet until late 2015.
What's notable about the previous stock split is that it created non-voting Class C shares of Google, while Class A shares maintained the standard one vote per share. In April 2012, a shareholder lawsuit was filed alleging that co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin orchestrated the stock split to maintain control of the company to the detriment of shareholders. As a result of the split, the company increased the number of shares without a commensurate increase in voting rights. The lawsuit was eventually settled, allowing the split to proceed with shareholder compensation.
In the nearly two years between the announcement and the actual stock split, Google stock was up about 74%.
Typically, a split does not change the overall economic value of the company that is doing the split. One share of Alphabet worth $2,800 is worth as much as 20 shares worth $140 (20 x $140 = $2,800). As with pizza, the number of slices does not change the overall size of the pie. Nevertheless, some argue that the underlying effect is positive for investor psychology.
That's exactly what happened when several well-known companies made headlines over the past couple of years as investors rushed to buy shares after the stock split announcement. Apple stock rose 34% in a month after announcing a 4-for-1 stock split in July 2020. Tesla followed suit less than two weeks later, announcing a 5-for-1 stock split. Between the announcement and the completion of the split, the stock jumped 81%.
A similar situation occurred in May 2021, when The Trade Desk announced a 10-for-1 stock split and Nvidia unveiled plans for a 4-for-1 stock split. The Trade Desk and Nvidia stock rose 27% and 24%, respectively, between the day of the announcement and the day the split was completed.
Aptus Capital Advisor senior analyst and portfolio manager David Wagner opined on the situation, "We all know the split doesn't boost the fundamental value of the company. ... but from what we've seen in the market with Tesla and Nvidia, people like to chase splits."
There are many reasons to think that Alphabet will continue on the same upward trajectory that led to that famous stock split.
Google's dominance in search remains unchallenged, with about 92 percent of the global search engine market. Alphabet is using this advantage to gain a leadership position in digital advertising, which accounts for about 29% of global digital ad spending. Nor should we forget Google Cloud, which has quietly risen to the top three, behind only Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure.
These factors drove Alphabet's strong performance. In the fourth quarter, revenues of $75.3 billion rose 32% year over year, and operating margins improved, boosting earnings per share (EPS) to $30.69, a 38% increase.
For investors who are optimistic about Alphabet, there's no reason to hesitate to buy the stock, unless, of course, your financial situation allows you to shell out almost $3,000 per share. If that's the case, and your broker doesn't offer the option to buy fractional shares, a stock split will make them much more affordable over time.
If you plan to buy Alphabet stock now, keep in mind that it may require additional record keeping. Those who are buying the stock now (at about $2,800) need to remember to adjust their records to reflect the revised cost base by dividing it by 20 to account for newly issued shares ($2,800 / 20 shares = $140). This will become important when you eventually sell your stock and settle with the tax authorities. Fortunately, brokerage firms know how to do this, so it shouldn't be too difficult.
Given Alphabet's market dominance, great execution, and continued outlook, it doesn't matter if you buy the stock now or wait until after the July 18 split-adjusted trading. What matters is that you buy them.
Wait before entering Alphabet GoogleThere will be absolute volatility as Fed's Hawkish stand. Best place to invest will be India more than US.
Regarding Alphabet. If I was you I would wait for it to cool down till 2646-2655 levels Or You can buy after it gives a break out above 3037 levels. Right now it will stay range bound and keep fluctuating with action of FED.
If important support level of 2646 is broken Alphabet can go to 2483 or below. So we should wait for it to form a bottom. Let it bounce from there then make your moves.
Other thing you can do is let it give a Break out above 3037. If it gives a closing above 3037 Alphabet (Google) can go to 3366 levels. That's the target for medium term.
Closing below 2190 should be the Stop loss.
GOOG - Daily Impulse Failure AheadAlphabet stock @ $3,000 provides entry after the 20:1 Spilt @ $150 - Round Numbers
appear to be favored.
The Daily Impulse will fail, although to can move higher this week, the Gaps will be filled.

GOOG Alphabet Inc. 20-to-1 Stock SplitRuth Porat, Alphabet CFO: “The reason for the split is it makes our shares more accessible”
Alphabet Inc . 20-to-1 Stock Split on July 15 could lead to Alphabet’s listing on the Dow Jones Industrial Average , the indexs that holds 30 blue-chip companies.
And you all know how appealing were Apple , Tesla and Nvidia for retail investors after the stock splits!
My short term price target is the all time high, $3037.
Looking forward to read your opinion about it!
Breakout Play on GOOGL The share price of GOOGL rose in after-hours trading yesterday after Google's parent company Alphabet posted robust earnings for the fourth quarter. This entails the opportunity for catching the newly emerging uptrend.
The upswing commenced following the completion of the last 1-5 Elliott impulse wave pattern at the lower limit of the descending channel.
The price action is to test the 100-day MA (in blue) after today's open. If it manages to break it, the next target would be the 61.8 per cent Fibonacci retracement level at 2817.87, which is currently converging with the 200-day MA (in orange) and the upper limit of the channel; both factors making this last Fibonacci threshold a more significant barrier.
Conversely, a failed breakout could potentially lead to a dropdown to the 38.2 per cent Fibonacci at 2693.62, which is about to converge with the 50-day MA (in green). Traders could potentially use such a dropdown to buy the dip of the correction.
