Daily Review: GOOG, AMD, and MSFTU.S. markets began the week on a strong note, led by small caps. The Russell 2000 Index finished the day up nearly 4% while the Nasdaq 100 lagged behind notching 0.5% at the end of the session.
This week represents a pivotal point of the rally as earnings season hits full swing with big cap tech reporting this week. Some names on deck later this week are TSLA, FB, AAPL and SHOP of which I will be reviewing on later posts this week. Today, we search for some market clues with GOOG, AMD and MSFT.
Tech Flexing
It's tough to bet against tech these days. Despite a global economic shutdown, large cap tech stocks have been resilient…on the charts. It will be interesting to see how they look on the balance sheet! We begin today with Alphabet, Inc (GOOG) on a weekly view.
GOOG has staged an impressive rally off the March 23 low making up nearly half its losses from its all-time high, $1532.11. At first glance, GOOG appeared to have broken through critical long term trendline support, but after review, GOOG has found support on a trendline drawn from the 2015 lows.
GOOG is heading into 2020 earnings after delivering strong 18% increase of revenue year over year. However, there are questions on whether the internet advertising giant will be able to impress this time around. The COVID-19 pandemic has definitely had an impact on whether businesses invest in online advertising, a large share of GOOG's revenue. Whether the magnitude of the impact shows up in Q1 earnings is yet to be seen.
Overall, GOOG bulls have enjoyed the past months worth of gains. However, there is reason to be cautious going into earnings as market strength and price begin to divert while overhead weekly resistance remains. Bias: Bearish .
Technically, Beautiful
Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (AMD) has been the semiconductor darling for over a year ever since breaking out from a year long cup and handle pattern on October 2019. AMD is now up 100% since that breakout and COULD be poised for more upside. I emphasized could on purpose, because on the weekly chart AMD is knocking into resistance at $59.27. Any break higher may also be met with RSI divergence. AMD in my opinion is a tough buy at these levels as the risk reward is not favorable going into earnings.
On the plus side, AMD is a beneficiary of being partnered with Sony and Microsoft who are both scheduled to be releasing brand new gaming consoles later this year. How these schedules are impacted by COVID-19 is yet to be seen. Nevertheless, I would not be surprised if AMD pulled back a bit before heading higher. Overall, I like the stock long term from a technical and fundamental perspective, but on the short term I'll be waiting on a dip. Bias: Bearish .
Trillion Dollar Baby
Above is the daily view of Microsoft Corporation (MSFT). Trading 8% below its all-time high, MSFT is going into earnings in potentially in a make or break position for the broad market. MSFT makes up the largest percentage weight of the Nasdaq 100 (NDX) and today the index was lagging behind throughout the trading session. Either, MSFT and big tech have run out of gas or this is a healthy pause before marching back into all-time highs.
If MSFT does pull back, there is not much support. The rally has been a straight shot up from the lows. MSFT is a tough buy here especially after the discouraging performance of the NDX at the start of the week. Bias: Bearish .
Pivotal Week Ahead
With MSFT, AAPL, GOOG, AMZN and FB all reporting fiscal year Q1 2020 earnings this week, we should get a better grasp of how the market will trade in the months ahead. We must also assume that companies will be doing their best to lay down the framework to ease in the harsh reality of Q2 earnings, which undoubtedly will more accurately reflect the impact of the global economic shutdown. Tomorrow we have Tesla, Facebook and Apple. Have a great evening!

GOOGLE long trade - (do not) rush into itHello traders,
another good opportunity in the stock market - and that is GOOGLE. ( NASDAQ:GOOG , NASDAQ:GOOGL )
We see strong patterns and support levels there. But do not rush into it! Why?
Because we have to w8 for the confirmation! The market spent too much time below the VERY strong trend-line, which means we don't know if it is valid Support or not.
Have good trading.

Short Ideas: $COST $ARES $GOOG $FBDuring my last stock market analysis yesterday, I had identified some key indicators that showed this market is most likely headed lower. In order to take advantage of the possible flush back down to the lows, I have been looking for some good short ideas. The markets are currently consolidating and if we make new lows today or tomorrow, that would be a great time to start initiating new shorts.
COST:
Despite the relative strength, COST has been consolidating beautifully and is currently at the low of this consolidation. COST rejected and is now below the 200DMA. Good below 280 with a stop loss at previous lower high.
ARES:
ARES is currently consolidating after an impressive bounce. There is a clear level of support and resistance. ARES will be a good long above 31.70 or short below 29.00. Place stop losses at previous higher low if long and lower high if short.
GOOG:
GOOG has been pretty weak during the previous bounce and rejected the 20DMA. There is a rising wedge forming and GOOG is near the lower bound of this consolidation pattern. Good for a short below 1090 with a stop loss at 1129.
FB:
Same pattern as GOOG, rising wedge on the 30m timeframe. Good for a short below 155 with a stop loss above 161.50.
Watch for $GOOG to Rally into Mon EPS on Heels of Tech BlowoutsGOOG is primed.
With MSFT, AAPL, TSLA, and AMZN all blowing out Q4 reports and launching the stocks higher, GOOG reports on Monday, and one might expect an anticipatory 'piling-in' process in front of the report by traders expecting GOOG to follow suit. The Ichimoku Cloud is showing a big green signal on trend as well.
Do Alphabet bears even exist?Just some random thoughts, i actually think they have so much dominance in the overall market it's very hard for them to go down but..
Just seeing this chart could make it very easy..
Support turn resistance -> Support turn resistance
Also: More like a question in case anyone reads this:
Why is volume continuously falling?
Short Term Google Play Possible on One Day Candlestick ChartHello Traders.
Read the MACD MTF yourself.
I bring to you a fundamental analysis on Google. They are evil.
They are collecting everyone's data for evil.
Samsung is the better company at this point.
Seoul is the new Silicon Valley.
Not because I said so, but because it is so.
It is your responsibility as moral individuals of the world to crash Google into the ground.
Samsung will cover it.
Long Samsung, short Google if you're a good person.
Seriously.
I live in Mountain View, California. I grew up around here. Google headquarters.
I have been monitoring their cash flow. It is for evil. Trust me.
We all knew that.
They duped us with the "ultimate blue chip stock".
We know there "is no ultimate blue chip stock".
Google -> Samsung + Gold -> New Global Fort Knox.
You know it is the only way. This world is messed up.
Wait for the whales to move first.
Crash Google. You'll see who your real friends are.
Trust my analysis, you can see where I predict a Bitcoin crash from 11k to 5.8k.
Thank you, Merry Kwanzaa.
GOOGL To lead AI revolutionPreceding the recent Adam & Adam double bottom formation, consistent bounces off the 200MA can be seen. This double bottom formation will lead to bullish continuation. GOOGL aims to lead the industry in AI development, with the purchase of AI deep mind and acquisition of various other AI start-ups. Great long potential.
