Alphabet Inc. (GOOGL) Shares Drop to Almost Six-Month LowAlphabet Inc. (GOOGL) Shares Drop to Almost Six-Month Low
Alphabet Inc. (GOOGL) shares closed below $150 yesterday, a level last seen in late March this year.
According to Barron’s, the stock is under pressure due to ongoing litigation with the US Department of Justice (DOJ), which:
→ claims Google holds a monopoly over software used for buying and selling digital ads, alleging the company uses its size to stifle competition.
→ argues that Google employed unlawful methods to block rival ad technologies, forcing advertisers and publishers to use its systems.
The DOJ suggests that Google should divest a product called Ad Manager.
Google, however, maintains that the digital advertising market is more competitive than ever, and the government's arguments don’t reflect the current state of affairs. The company asserts that its case involves website ads, while most of the advertising industry has shifted to apps, social media, and Smart TVs.
As the case proceeds, it may act as a bearish factor for Alphabet’s stock price. Technical analysis of GOOGL shares today shows:
→ Since May last year, long-term price movement has formed an upward linear regression channel (blue), with the current price dropping below the channel’s lower boundary and the RSI indicator entering the oversold zone for the second time this year.
→ Short-term price movement since late April 2024 forms a downward linear regression channel (red), with the median line acting as resistance (indicated by the red arrow) – a bearish signal.
Potential support levels for GOOGL shares include:
→ The psychological $150 level.
→ A bullish gap zone around $146.
→ The lower boundary of the red channel.
Given this, it’s reasonable to expect GOOGL’s stock price may recover in the coming days from these support levels, especially if there are signs the trial could conclude in Alphabet Inc.'s favour.

GOOGL trade ideas
Antitrust Threat Looms Over Google, Shares Could Plummet by 10%!Google's dominance might be ending. A U.S. judge has decided that the company's control over search is unfair competition. This could lead to Alphabet, Google's parent company, being split up and a major change in online advertising. A new era of search could be coming, as the internet's main player may soon lose its power.
Technical Analysis
The share price has surged by over 190% since hitting its lowest point during the Covid-19 crash.
Following a previous peak of $152, the stock experienced a significant drop and subsequently entered a prolonged phase of consolidation.
After approximately 2.5 years of this price stabilization, the stock finally broke through its prior resistance in April 2024.
This significant breakthrough resulted in an impressive surge, propelled the price to a new all-time high of $193.
However, the stock price faced considerable resistance at that level, resulted in a decline and eventually breaking down of its upward-trending parallel channel.
The stock is likely to experience a sharp decline of about 10%, finding support somewhere between $132 and $131.
$GOOG | Watchlist | Buy Limit |Technical Confluences:
- Price is at Oversold levels from 1H all the way till the Weekly timeframe
- Price just broke the 38% Fibo Retracement level (Orange)
- Price bounced off the 61% Fibo Extension (Blue)
- Price is also in a strong Interest zone; previously the highs of end-2021
- However, price has also broken through a Support trendline
Fundamental Confluences:
- No doubt, Google is a strong name in the tech and now, AI space
- Due to their dominance in many sectors, they are bound to face many kinds of regulatory scrutiny and lawsuits from anti-trust laws etc.
- Revenue streams moving forward may also be affected from the court's hearings
- Considering that Generative AI is picking up traction, will it impact Google's core internet search business activity? Google will definitely still be there just facing stiffer competition
-----
As market is consolidating and rotation out of the tech and AI strategy, I will also bide my time and not rush to get into holding this tech dominant force.
It will be wait and watch story and orders have been set to buy some within the $115 - $130 range.

One Possible Path to The Inevitable DestinationWhatever path it takes, #Google will inevitably arrive at the preordained destination that all Communist ideas arrive at: the grave, the dustbin of history, the garbage, forgotten, despised, unloved, unremembered except as a cautionary tale of stupidity and arrogance.
Goodbye and good riddance. We won't miss you or any other communists.
GOOG - GOOGLE - BUY / LONG IDEA DON'T MISS IT!Dear traders,
We can see that the general trend is bullish and the pattern that is being drawn is clearly a bullish correction,
The share price has fallen around 21% from the previous high, generating potential buying opportunities in the price range ($140- $150).
In addition, we see that the RSI is showing quite oversold zone.
Let's wait for indicators to show divergences, to increases the probability of a potential reversal in the direction of the price. Nevertheless buying posititionwithin the range mentioned before, is a good option
best,
Google stock at key support zone: Buy the dip?Google's stock price is currently trading near a key support zone between 140 and 155, which may present a dip-buying opportunity for investors. The potential price targets are between 180 and 200, while the downside risk is around 139.53, the stock's closing price from last year.
GOOGL Short Idea - Top 5 Weekly Trade Ideas #3GOOGL has been very weak lately, despite strength among the rest of the mag 7. A lot of the mag 7 is at or near ATH right now, while GOOGL is ~$30 off ATH. It has a bear flag on the 15m, one fakeout above. It is near the bottom end now, it tried to break below, but quickly reclaimed.
I like this short because GOOGL has a big divergence from tech, it is clearly weaker. So because of that I expect a downside break, but there's obviously a chance it breaks to the upside, so ideally I'd wait for a break and retest or enter somewhere near the line for the best risk/reward.
Google 1WIn terms of technical analysis, the price has reached a good support trend line in a strong upward trend, where we see both a pullback to this area and the placement of this trend on the trend line. We also have 0.618 Fibonacci. If the interest rate decreases next month, this stock will experience good growth.
GOOGLE You can still catch this BUY to based on these indicatorsAlphabet Inc. (GOOG) is in the process of forming a bottom following the July and early August correction. Technically it has already priced the new Higher Low (green Arc) on the 20-month Channel Up but is underperforming relative to the rest of the tech sector.
This is why it hasn't yet broken above the 1D MA100 (green trend-line) but this isn't at all discouraging. Every break within this long-term Channel Up below the 1D MA100 and subsequent recovery above it, confirmed the start of its new Bullish Leg. This has only taken place when the 1D MACD formed a Bullish Cross below the 0.0 mark, which last took place on August 16.
The above occurrences indicate that it is not late to catch this unique long-term buy on Google. Following the October 27 2023 Low, the first High it made was after a +28.14% rise. As a result our first long-term Target is $200.

GOOG Is forming a Saucer Bottom slightly above long-term trend?GOOG in my opinion has formed a figure which looks closely to a Saucer Bottom, furthermore the price now is sitting right above the 20-day moving average, which is a signal of up-trend resuming.
Is Google preparing to re-test the previous high?
In the worst case scenario price would drop again to the trendline and form a double bottom.

Alphabet’s Chart Has a ‘Baby Death Cross.’ What That Might MeanAlphabet NASDAQ:GOOGL NASDAQ:GOOG has been mostly falling since reporting Q2 earnings on July 23. What does technical analysis say about where the stock could go from here?
First, some background. Alphabet reported its Q2 results after the market closed on July 23, beating analyst estimates for both revenues and earnings.
Revenues grew 13.6% year over year to $84.7 billion, with Google Cloud contributing more than $10 billion for the first time ever.
So far, so good -– but there was a catch. Alphabet spent more on AI infrastructure than expected, as had many other members of the so-called "Magnificent Seven."
And while CFO Ruth Porat did speak about solid Q2 margins during Alphabet’s earnings call, she then cautioned that “in the third quarter, operating margins will reflect the impact of both the increases in depreciation and expenses associated with the higher levels of investment in our technical infrastructure, as well as the increase in cost of revenues due to the pull-forward of hardware launches into Q3."
That's when things got rough for GOOGL shares. The stock had already been mired in a bit of a sell-off for a couple of weeks before the numbers came out, but investors and traders got nervous.
Shares fell 5% the day after the earnings release and are still down more than 10% as I write this from where Alphabet closed prior to the results’ release.
Let’s look at GOOGL’s chart to see where the stock might go from here.
Readers will see that this chart shows two back-to-back technical patterns that worked out as they should have, at least in theory:
From October 2023 into very early 2024, GOOGL built a so-called “ascending triangle,” which is a bullish pattern. The stock then proceeded to rally from February into July.
However, in doing so, Alphabet then developed what's known as a “rising wedge” pattern -- which historically points to a bearish reversal.
Once the bough on this pattern broke, GOOGL gave up its 21-day Exponential Moving Average, or “EMA” (denoted by the green line above) and its 50-Day Simple Moving Average, or “SMA” (the blue line above). Then the stock headed straight for its 200-Day SMA (marked by the red line above). That's where Alphabet found support -- at least for the moment.
Next, let's zoom in on the here and now:
This chart shows GOOGL as of Tuesday’s close, with the stock in a technically weak position.
Although the shares have been rebounding for about a week, the 21-day EMA (the green line above) has crossed below the 50-Day SMA (the blue line) in what is sometimes referred to as a “swing trader's cross” or “baby death cross.”
Meanwhile, Alphabet's Relative Strength Index, or “RSI” (denoted by the gray line above) sits at 39 in the chart above. That’s on the soft side, but at least it’s out of technically oversold territory, which would require a sub-30 reading.
At the bottom of the chart above, daily Moving Average Convergence/Divergence (MACD) shows that a histogram of Alphabet’s 9-Day EMA (the blue bars above) sits below zero. That's bearish.
In addition, the 12-day EMA (the black line above) remains below the 26-day EMA (the gold line). That’s normally bearish, but it does look like the black line is curling towards the gold line. A crossover there would be bullish.
The bottom line? Alphabet’s upside pivot point now will likely be at its 50-Day SMA, which was at $176.33 in the chart above. A take and hold of that line would likely permit some portfolio managers to increase exposure.
Conversely, the stock’s downside pivot remains at the 200-Day SMA ($153.95 in the chart above). A loss of that line could force some risk managers to pressure portfolio managers to reduce their long-side exposure.
And of course, the 200-day line, as one might surmise, carries more weight than the 50-day line in terms of exposure-size allocation.
