Google Cloud to Run Validator on Crypto Gaming Network XPLAGoogle Cloud will be the first “volunteer validator” on the XPLA gaming chain, adding to Google's growing list of crypto allies.
XPLA, a blockchain network founded by major South Korean game publisher Com2uS, has enlisted Google Cloud as its first “volunteer validator” for the network.
Blockchain validators verify and confirm transactions to support the network. In the case of XPLA, volunteer validators are not rewarded with tokens for supporting the network. Instead, the tokens are distributed to a community pool.
That's the plan, at least. The XPLA network is currently voting on the proposal to institute the volunteer validator feature, and it has 100% votes in favor as of this writing.
XPLA is built on Tendermint, the same protocol that powers the Cosmos network, and it’s also compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine. Notable games that run on XPLA include The Walking Dead: All-Stars, Summoner’s War: Chronicles, and Ace Fishing: Crew—all based on existing IP that has been adapted for “play-to-own” blockchain games.
The network was originally established as C2X and built on Terra, the network that lost considerable traction after the collapse of the UST and LUNA tokens in May 2022. The XPLA network was then launched in August 2022. Other XPLA validators include metaverse investor Animoca Brands and mobile game developer Gumi.
Google Cloud has previously signed on to run a validator on a few other blockchain networks, including Solana, Tezos, Aptos, Ethereum scaling network Polygon, and DeFi network Celo. It also collaborated with exchange Coinbase to accept cryptocurrency payments.
In April, Google Cloud launched its Web3 Startups Program to offer additional benefits for crypto firms in partnership with networks like Solana, Aptos, Near, and Hedera.

GOOGLE: Strong buy for $155.Google opened today under the 1D MA50, neutral on its 1D technical outlook (RSI = 48.601, MACD = -0.240, ADX = 32.196). Through out 2023, a 1D RSI value below 50.000 has been a buy opportunity and even more so now that the price is near the bottom of the twelve month Channel Up. This consolidation during the last Bullish Leg of the Channel Up (April 6th - May 5th), was the last buy opportunity before the stock resumed the rise and peaked over the 1.618 Fibonacci level for a HH. We are buying again on GOOG, this time aiming over its All Time High, exactly on the 1.618 Fibonacci (TP = 155.00).

📈 Google Analysis - A Conundrum! 🚀Our entry into Google was perfectly timed, thanks to the limit order. Now, we face the challenge after our subordinate 5-wave structure, where we completed Wave 1 with an abrupt Expanded Flat (a, b, c). The question arises: is this already Wave 2, or is it Wave ((a))? Currently, it appears to be a triple correction upward, specifically a Regular Flat.
Possibly, there might be a downward correction, perhaps to a Double Bottom around $128, the level of our entry. That would then finalize Wave 2. This scenario is possible, though not definitive. There could be another decline in Google in the coming days before it takes a decisive upward turn. 📈🚀

Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOG) Currently in an Uptrend MoveGOOG is currently in an uptrend, as it is above the 50-day EMA, the 100-day EMA, and the 200-day EMA. The 50-day EMA is also above the 100-day EMA and the 200-day EMA, indicating a strong bullish momentum. The stock recently bounced off the 50-day EMA, which acted as a support level, and broke above the previous resistance level of $1,500. The next resistance level is around $1,600, which is the all-time high reached in October 2020.
The stock may face some profit-taking or consolidation near this level, but if it breaks above it, it may continue its uptrend. The next support level is around $1,450, which is the previous resistance level and the 50-day EMA. If the stock breaks below this level, it may indicate a weakening of the bullish trend and a possible reversal. The next support level is around $1,350, which is the 100-day EMA and the previous support level. A break below this level may confirm a bearish trend change and a possible death cross.
$GOOGL Buy Target 119NASDAQ:GOOGL Buy Target 119
Buy Target 119…
5-year volatility has expanded here as well… assuming this is top of the swing high then 119 is the buy target….
I will be doing target projections all weekend... so let me know if there's any that you want to see... This gives me an opportunity to see charts I may not have seen in a while...
GOOGLE Buy the pull-back for a $145 Santa's rally.Alphabet Inc (GOOG) gave us a great +20% pre-earnings bullish signal last time we looked at it (July 25) that hit the $140.00 target before pulling back (see chart below):
Right now the price is above the 1D MA50 (blue trend-line), within two Channel Up patterns, with the latter being the (diverging) dotted one. With the 1D RSI hitting its Lower Highs trend-line that has caused technical pull-backs since July 28, we expect a short-term correction near the 1D MA50 and then rebound to price the Channel Up Higher High at $145.00. That will complete a +20% rise from October's bottom, which has been the average % rise for a bullish sequence within 2023.

GOOG: Technical Trade AnalysisOur portfolio is up by 17% over the last month 🍾🍾. Here is the link:
www.tradingview.com
Here is the latest analysis of our GOOG trade:
Analyzing the provided chart for Alphabet Inc. (Google) Class C on NASDAQ (GOOG), we can consider several key aspects to determine potential exit strategies in line with Mark Minervini's swing trading approach:
Moving Averages: The stock is currently trading above the 50-day moving average (MA), which often acts as support in an uptrend. As long as the stock remains above this moving average, it could be considered to be in a healthy uptrend.
Volume: There is no visible volume spike on the entry day; however, subsequent days show average to above-average trading volume, which is generally positive for a continued uptrend.
Bollinger Bands: The price is approaching the upper Bollinger Band, which could be an area of potential resistance. Some traders might consider taking profits as the price touches or breaches this upper band, especially if it coincides with other signs of overextension.
Relative Strength Index (RSI): The RSI is approaching overbought territory but is not yet above the 70 level, which might suggest caution but not necessarily an immediate exit.
MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence): The MACD line is above the signal line and above the zero line, which is bullish. There is no immediate sign of a bearish crossover, which would be a potential exit signal.
IBD RS (Investor's Business Daily Relative Strength): The IBD RS line is trending upwards, indicating the stock is performing well relative to the market.
Considering Minervini's strategy, which typically involves selling on strength rather than weakness, potential exit points could be:
Break of Trendline: If the stock breaks below the short-term moving average or a trendline support, it could be an indication to exit, especially if the volume increases on the downside.
Technical Weakness: Any bearish reversal patterns, such as a bearish engulfing candle or a high-volume decline through the 50-day MA, could signal an exit point.
Profit Target: If the stock reaches a predetermined profit target, such as a percentage above the buy point or a previous high, it might be a good time to take profits.
Time Stop: If the stock hasn't met the expected price target within a specific time frame, it might be prudent to exit the position to avoid opportunity costs.
Given these considerations, it's also important to have a pre-determined trailing stop-loss to protect profits. If none of the exit criteria have been met but the stock continues to make higher highs and higher lows, maintaining the position with a trailing stop-loss could be a suitable strategy, adjusting the stop-loss upwards as the stock appreciates. Remember to continuously monitor the position and market conditions, as things can change rapidly.
Google In Talks To Seize Major Stake In UK Challenger MonzoAlphabet, the parent company behind Google, is reportedly on track to seize a major stake in the digital retail bank Monzo as it leads investors in a fresh funding round.
Alphabet will leverage its independent growth fund Capital to pour between £300 million and £500 million into the UK-founded challenger, valuing it above £4 billion, Sky News reports.
Also set to include new and existing investors, sources tell Sky News that the round could close before the end of the year, however final details are yet to be released.
The challenger last raised over £377 million ($500 million) in December 2021 in a Series H funding round led by Abu Dhabi Growth Fund, with participation from Accel, General Catalyst, Goodwater, Passion Capital, Octahedron and Thrive along with new investors Coatue and Alpha Wave Ventures.
Last month, Sky News reported that Monzo was looking to raise £300 million in fresh funds through a share sale, and is believed to have engaged with a number of blue-chip investment funds.
The move is thought to be clearing the way for the challenger to go public, while ex-Cash App head Conor Walsh and Brolly founder Phoebe Chibuzo Hugh have been brought on-board to lead both its product and market expansions.
It’s not clear when or where Monzo will induce a stock market floatation, but Alphabet and its long history of acquiring companies that go public inching ever closer into its ownership structure could provide the finishing touches to its final preparations.
Price Momentum
GOOGL is trading near the top of its 52-week range and above its 200-day simple moving average.
What does this mean?
Investors have been pushing the share price higher, and the stock still appears to have upward momentum. This is a positive sign for the stock's future value.
