Alphabet (GOOGL) -> Following The NasdaqMy name is Philip, I am a German swing-trader with 4+ years of trading experience and I only trade stocks , crypto , options and indices 🖥️
I only focus on the higher timeframes because this allows me to massively capitalize on the major market swings and cycles without getting caught up in the short term noise.
This is how you build real long term wealth!
In today's anaylsis I want to take a look at the bigger picture on Alphabet.
Just 9 months ago Alphabet stock perfectly retested major previous resistance which was turned support and in confluence with a retest of the 0.618 fib level we saw a rally of 60%.
Considering that Alphabet is now retesting the channel resistance it is quite likely that we will see a short term drop before I do expect new all time highs on Google stock.

I know that this is a quite simple trading approach but over the past 4 years I've realized that simplicity and consistency are much more important than any trading strategy.
Keep the long term vision🫡

Alphabet fakeout after fear of AI update target $90 W Formation formed on Alphabet which then had a major fakeout
There was a test of the 200MA which Failed to break above and dropped.
Target $90
With Google and Alphabet trying to combat with the new challenge of creating a better CHAT GPT, it seems like the first version has failed.
There were many errors and false answers.
They also called the Ex CEOS and management to try and create similar versions through BING and BARD.
This caused fear with investors and lead to a $100 billion drop in market value.
Overall I think Google will find a way to replace Chat GPT or integrate the technology eventually. These are short term blips before the upside.
Right now we can remain bearish as the charts don't lie, but the price will need to drop below $90 in order to have a new analysis for downside.
I'll keep you updated as always.
