Bull run for GOOGL incoming?Google just pushed out of it's bearish flag channel. Then, on Friday it successfully retested it.
Trading at a forward of P/E of 19.6x which is the lowest of all the Mag7.
Ideally I'd like to see GOOGL break the ATH support and trade the breakout.
But that this point already, I will likely begin to open a long position.
Ideally this doesn't happen so close to earnings (As it can blow up the entire pattern), but I think it's still worth a shot.

Alphabet Is Up 90% Since April. Here's What Its Chart SaysGoogle parent Alphabet  NASDAQ:GOOG   NASDAQ:GOOGL  is set to report Q3 results this week at a time when the tech giant's stock is trading at or near all-time highs and has risen some 90% since its April lows. The stock has beaten the S&P 500  SP:SPX  in virtually every time period from the past one month to the previous five years. What does its chart and fundamental analysis say?
Let's see:
 Alphabet's Fundamental Analysis 
GOOGL plans to release quarterly numbers after the closing bell on Wednesday, with the Street expecting the firm to report $2.28 of GAAP earnings per share on slightly more than $100 billion of revenue.
If correct, those numbers would compare well with Alphabet's year-ago comps, with GAAP EPS rising 7.5% from Q3 2024's $2.12 and revenue gaining about 13.4% from the $88.3 billion GOOGL that reported 12 months earlier.
Revenue growth like that would be in line with Alphabet's sales trends for years now.
In fact, 28 of the 49 sell-side analysts that I know of that cover GOOGL have revised their earnings estimates higher since the period started. (Fourteen lowered their forecasts and seven have left their numbers unchanged.)
 Alphabet's Technical Analysis 
Next, let's look at GOOGL's chart going back some 11 months and running through Friday afternoon:
  
Readers will first note the large, well-defined cup-with-handle pattern that stretched from late January into August, marked with a purple curving line at the chart's center. That pattern provided GOOGL with a breakout in early September from a $106 pivot.
However, Alphabet hit resistance by late September and spent about a month developing a bull-flag pattern of bullish continuance, marked with two purple diagonal lines and a purple box at the chart's right.
This flag has a $256 pivot, which GOOGL broke through in recent days. (The stock closed $269.24 on Monday after hitting a $270.06 all-time intraday high.)
Should Alphabet manage to hold that pivot, then many analysts likely would adjust their price targets considerably higher. But should the pivot fail, GOOGL would next look to its moving averages for support.
The swing crowd would likely come into play at the stock's 21-day Exponential Moving Average (or "EMA," marked with a green line). Meanwhile, portfolio managers would be down around the 50-day Simple Moving Average (or "SMA," marked with a blue line at $236.60 in the chart above) if not forced to chase on momentum.
Looking at the Alphabet's secondary technical indicators, the stock's Relative Strength Index (the gray line at the chart's top) is quite robust, but not yet in a technically overbought state.
At the same time, Alphabet's daily Moving Average Convergence Divergence indicator (or "MACD," marked with black and gold lines and blue bars at the chart's bottom), looks like it might be trying to take on a more bullish posture.
The histogram of the 9-day EMA (the blue bars) has just moved back into positive territory. That's short-term bullish.
Similarly, the 12-day EMA (the black line) has just crossed above the 26-day EMA (the gold line), with both lines above the zero-bound. That, too, is a short- to medium-term bullish technical signal.
 An Options Option 
Investors exploring options strategies might consider evaluating a "bull-call spread," depending on their market outlook. That's where you buy one call and sell a second one with a higher strike price and the same expiration date.
Here's an example:
-- Buy one GOOGL $262.50 call with an Oct. 31 expiration (i.e., after the earnings come out). This costs about $8.45 at recent prices.
-- Sell (write) one Oct. 31 GOOGL $282.50 call for roughly $2.30.
Net debit: $6.15
The options trader in this example is risking $6.15 to try to make $13.85, for a 225% maximum profit.
If said trader is also interested in taking on equity risk at a discount, the person could also add a put to the above trade. Example:
-- Sell (write) one Oct. 31 GOOGL $252.50 put for about $5.
This would reduce the trader's net debit to $1.15. While this greatly enhances the spread's potential profitability, the trader is exposed to possibly having to purchase 100 GOOGL shares at expiration at $253.65 net basis at a time when the stock would be trading below $252.50.
The maximum theoretical gain would increase to $18.85 x 100 (options multiplier) for a total of $1,885. The maximum theoretical loss would also increase substantially to $25,365, as although unlikely, the stock could potentially fall to zero.

GOOGL Alphabet Options Ahead of EarningsIf you haven`t bought GOOGL before the rally:
Now analyzing the options chain and the chart patterns of GOOGL Alphabet prior to the earnings report this week,
I would consider purchasing the 305usd strike price Calls with
an expiration date of 2026-1-16,
for a premium of approximately $8.30.
If these options prove to be profitable prior to the earnings release, I would sell at least half of them.
GOOGL: price at important resistance zonePrice has been following the outlined structure from the July and August updates, showing the expected relative outperformance versus SPX. However, instead of forming a prolonged Autumn consolidation, price moved almost directly to the target resistance zone for the uptrend since the April bottom: 250–270.
While one more short-term push toward the top of the resistance zone is possible, as long as price remains below 270, I am watching for rising selling pressure and a potential durable consolidation to develop in the coming weeks. If price manages to post a sustained breakout above 270, the current structural view would need to be reassessed.
Caution is advised with any new long exposure at these levels, and consider protecting open long positions in case of a reversal or broader market weakness.

Is This the Perfect Entry Zone for the Next GOOGL Upside Run?🎯 GOOGL: The "Thief's Heist" Trading Strategy | Layered Entry Playbook 📊
💼 Asset: ALPHABET INC. (GOOGL)
Market: NASDAQ | Style: Swing/Day Trade Hybrid
🎭 The Setup: Bulls Running the Show
Bias: 🟢 BULLISH
Listen up, trading family! 👋 GOOGL is setting up what I call the "Thief's Entry Strategy" - a layered approach that lets you accumulate positions like a professional poker player stacking chips. No FOMO, no chasing - just calculated, methodical entries that would make Ocean's Eleven jealous. 🎰
🚪 Entry Strategy: The "Thief Layering" Method
Instead of going all-in at one price (rookie move 🙅♂️), we're using multiple limit orders to build our position:
📍 Layered Buy Limits:
Layer 1: $240.00
Layer 2: $245.00
Layer 3: $250.00
💡 Pro Tip: You can add more layers or adjust levels based on your risk appetite and account size. This method reduces average cost and minimizes timing risk - basically, you're stealing better prices while everyone else panic-buys at the top! 😎
Alternative: If you prefer simplicity, current market price entry works too - but where's the fun in that? 🤷♂️
🛡️ Risk Management: The "Escape Route"
Stop Loss: $235.00
⚠️ Reality Check: Dear Thief OG's (Original Gangsters of Trading), this is MY stop loss level based on technical structure. YOU need to assess your own risk tolerance, position size, and account management rules. Your money = your rules. Trade at your own risk, always! 🎲
🎯 Target Zone: The "Electric Fence"
Take Profit: $275.00
This level represents a confluence of:
⚡ Strong resistance zone (high voltage wall!)
📈 Potential overbought conditions
Bull trap territory where late buyers get caught
Strategy: Scale out as we approach target. Don't be greedy - banks get robbed, but smart thieves get away clean! 💰
⚠️ Reality Check #2: This is MY target. You might want to take profits earlier, hold for more, or scale out in portions. Your trading plan, your decision. Secure the bag at your own discretion! 💼
🔗 Related Pairs to Watch (Correlation Play)
Keep your eyes on these tech titans - they often move in sympathy:
 NASDAQ:MSFT  - Microsoft Corp | Big tech correlation, AI play
 NASDAQ:AAPL  - Apple Inc. | FAANG/tech sector leader
 NASDAQ:META  - Meta Platforms | Ad revenue correlation with GOOGL
 NASDAQ:NVDA  - NVIDIA | AI infrastructure play
 NASDAQ:QQQ  - Nasdaq 100 ETF | Overall tech sector health indicator
Why it matters: If these pairs show weakness, GOOGL might follow. If they're pumping, wind's at our back! 🌊
📊 Key Technical Points
✅ Support holding at current structure
✅ Bullish momentum building on lower timeframes
✅ Risk-reward ratio favorable with layered entries
✅ Volume profile suggesting accumulation phase
🎬 The "Thief Style" Philosophy
This isn't financial advice - it's a trading game plan based on technical analysis and strategic positioning. The "Thief" approach means:
Stealth entries (layering in)
🧠 Smart exits (not overstaying the party)
🎯 Calculated risk (always know your out)
🎪 Having fun while staying professional
📉 Trading involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for everyone. Past performance is not indicative of future results.

GOOGL Weekly Outlook (Oct 28–31)GOOGL Weekly Outlook (Oct 28–31): “Google Reclaims the Trend — Can It Hold Above $270?” 🔍
1. Weekly (1W) Structure – Macro Strength Reaffirmed
Alphabet’s weekly structure shows a textbook bullish continuation following a confirmed Break of Structure (BOS) above $207. After a brief Change of Character (CHoCH) pullback toward the $145–$150 demand zone, GOOGL reaccelerated upward, reclaiming control of the ascending channel. The move toward $270 marks a decisive momentum comeback with potential to stretch toward $285–$290 if buyers sustain pressure.
* Bias: Bullish continuation
* Support: $207 → $254
* Resistance: $270 → $285
* MACD: Clean bullish expansion — momentum firmly in buyer hands.
* Stochastic RSI: Hovering near overbought, but trending, not topping — indicative of sustained buying momentum.
💡 Weekly Thought:
As long as GOOGL stays above $254, the broader uptrend remains intact. Macro structure suggests strength continuation into November unless a deep profit-taking correction forms below $250.
2. Daily (1D) – Reclaiming Momentum Zone
  
Daily chart confirms multiple BOS and CHoCH rotations forming a staircase pattern of higher lows and higher highs. The breakout above $260 confirms a new impulse leg inside the mid-channel zone. Buyers reclaimed $256–$259, an area that previously acted as supply — now flipped into a solid demand base.
* Bias: Bullish trend continuation
* Support: $256 → $240
* Resistance: $270 → $280
* Indicators:
    * MACD rebounded into positive territory — bullish crossover confirmed.
    * Stochastic RSI climbing from midrange — confirming short-term buying pressure.
💭 Daily Suggestion:
Buyers can look for dip entries near $262–$264 early week. A sustained close above $270 may trigger acceleration toward $280–$285 as gamma and volume momentum expand.
3. 1-Hour (1H) – Intraday Precision Map
  
GOOGL’s 1-hour chart shows near-perfect alignment with higher timeframes. A clean BOS structure sequence forms above $259 and $265, with the price consolidating near $270 — a key resistance-turned-potential breakout pivot. The current slope of the ascending trendline supports a healthy, controlled climb.
* Scalp Bias: Bullish above $262
* Resistance: $272 → $280
* Support: $259 → $249
* Setup Idea:
    * Call scalp: Above $270 breakout; target $275–$280.
    * Put scalp: Only if price falls below $259 with volume, target $250.
📈 1H Thought:
Intraday traders should monitor price behavior at $270 — this zone is both a psychological and gamma-based resistance. A breakout with strong volume could ignite an extended move to $280 quickly.
4. GEX & Options Sentiment – Institutional Positioning
  
Gamma Exposure (GEX) reveals a strong call-dominant structure, with layered resistance near $270–$280 — key short-term gamma magnets.
* Highest positive GEX / resistance: $270 → $275 → $280
* Support (put walls): $250 → $242 → $235
* Call bias: +35.8% (bullish skew)
* IVR: 46.6 (moderately elevated)
* IVx avg: 49.8 (slightly declining → supportive of upside expansion)
Institutions appear positioned to defend $255–$260, while higher strikes near $275 are drawing increasing call exposure. Gamma compression could trigger a grind higher if $270 holds.
5. Suggested Option Plays
* Bullish Setup (Preferred):
    * Buy-to-open 270C–275C (1DTE/2DTE) on confirmed hold above $270.
    * Target: $280
    * Stop: Below $259
    * Reason: Strong structural breakout confluence with call gamma reinforcement.
* Bearish Hedge (Cautious):
    * Buy 250P (1DTE/2DTE) only if breakdown below $259 with volume confirmation.
    * Target: $242
    * Stop: Above $265
GOOGL is showing a consistent bullish structure across all timeframes — higher lows, continued BOS patterns, and strong gamma buildup supporting continuation. Price action above $270 can trigger a swift advance toward $280 before potential consolidation.
🎯 Primary Bias: Bullish toward $280–$285
⚠️ Watch For: Failure to hold $259 = momentum loss or short-term correction signal.

GOOGL Coiling for a Breakout: (Oct. 24 Outlook)Watching $256–$259 as the Key Battleground Zone 🔍 
1. Market Structure (1H & 15M)
Alphabet (GOOGL) is showing signs of renewed accumulation after rebounding from the $248–$249 support range, where a clear CHoCH confirmed a short-term shift in sentiment. On the 1-hour chart, we can see a rising structure forming, with a BOS at $254.5 followed by a retest of the ascending trendline — a healthy pullback after a prior rally.
Price action remains confined between $248 (demand) and $259 (supply) — a tight compression range that often precedes expansion. The presence of multiple CHoCH and BOS levels suggests smart money is defending dips while gradually building positions ahead of a potential breakout leg.
On the 15-minute chart, intraday CHoCH around $252.5 shows that buyers reclaimed control quickly after a liquidity sweep. As long as price holds above $251.5–$252, short-term bias stays constructive heading into Friday’s session.
  
2. Supply and Demand / Order Blocks
* Demand Zone: $248–$252 — major high-confluence demand aligned with previous CHoCH zone and FVG (fair value gap). This zone marks the critical level for buyers to defend.
* Immediate Support: $252.5 — where both 15M and 1H EMAs align, acting as short-term dynamic support.
* Supply Zone: $256–$259 — overlapping with previous swing high structure and multiple BOS points, making it the area where sellers are most likely to react first.
A confirmed breakout above $259.3 with volume would invalidate the current compression phase and likely trigger a momentum run toward $265–$268 — which coincides with the next gamma and call wall zone.
3. Indicator Confluence
* 9 EMA / 21 EMA: Both EMAs are now turning upward and close to crossing bullishly on the 1H chart, signaling momentum recovery after a three-day base-building phase. On 15M, the 9EMA is already leading with price maintaining higher lows — confirming micro bullish structure.
* MACD: On both 1H and 15M, MACD is curling upward after resetting — the histogram flipped positive again, a sign of fresh momentum.
* RSI: 1H RSI reads around 70, consistent with bullish control. 15M RSI sits between 55–60, showing equilibrium before potential continuation.
* Volume: Gradually increasing as price tests higher support — typical pre-breakout accumulation pattern.
4. GEX (Gamma Exposure) & Options Sentiment
  
Friday’s GEX map shows concentrated call resistance between $255–$260, forming the main barrier. The highest positive gamma aligns perfectly with $255–$256, implying that this zone is both a magnet and a resistance pivot for dealer positioning.
Below, the PUT support and HVL (High Volume Level) cluster around $248–$250, making this the “floor” of the current gamma range. If GOOGL holds above that level, dealers’ hedging flow should favor stability or slow upside grinding.
IVR at 47.3 and IVX avg at 44.7 (-2.5%) show compressed volatility, often a precursor to sharp directional moves. The options sentiment leans 32.4% toward calls, not excessive but enough to suggest early bullish repositioning.
A decisive move through $259 could trigger a gamma flip and accelerate hedging demand, pushing GOOGL toward the next gamma node near $265–$268.
5. Trade Scenarios for Friday, Oct. 24
Bullish Setup 🟩
* Entry Zone: $252–$253 retest or breakout confirmation above $256
* Targets: $259 → $263 → $268
* Stop-Loss: Below $250.5
* Confirmation: MACD histogram turns positive, RSI holds >60, and price maintains above 9EMA on 15M
Bearish Setup 🟥
* Entry Zone: $256–$258 rejection area
* Targets: $252 → $249 → $245
* Stop-Loss: Above $259.5
* Confirmation: CHoCH + bearish MACD crossover on 15M
6. Closing Outlook for Oct. 24 (Friday)
Friday looks like a make-or-break day for GOOGL. The stock has been quietly consolidating between $248 and $259 for several sessions — building energy for the next trend leg. As long as $251–$252 holds, the path of least resistance remains to the upside.
If bulls can break through $259 with volume, expect acceleration toward $265–$268 as gamma flows shift supportive. Conversely, a failure to hold above $252 could signal another liquidity sweep down to the $245–$247 range before buyers step in again.
My personal view: GOOGL looks constructively bullish with structure tightening and momentum curling higher. The $255 pivot is key — reclaim and hold that, and a breakout run becomes highly probable.
💬 Final Thought:
“GOOGL is compressing between $252 and $259 — the spring is winding tight. A clean breakout over $259 could unleash a sharp move toward $265+. Watch the volume — that’s your tell.”

GOOGL Long Setup: Retest of Former Resistance as SupportHello TradingView Community,
This post outlines a potential long trade setup for Alphabet Inc (GOOGL) on the 15-minute chart.
Technical Analysis:
The chart highlights a key horizontal price level at approximately $246.06. This level previously acted as a significant resistance, capping the price on multiple occasions and creating a ceiling for the stock.
We have recently seen a clear breakout above this resistance, which is a bullish signal indicating that buyers are taking control. The trading idea is based on the classic "resistance-turned-support" principle. The price is currently consolidating above this broken level, which is now expected to act as a new support floor. A successful hold of this area would suggest a continuation of the uptrend.
Trade Setup:
The long position tool on the chart visualizes the specific plan for this bullish scenario:
Entry: Approximately $246.06 (at the retest of the new support).
Stop Loss: $240.02 (placed below the key support structure to invalidate the idea if the level fails to hold).
Take Profit: $290.46 (targeting a new potential higher high).
This setup provides a structured plan with a favorable risk-to-reward ratio for a potential continuation of the bullish move.

- But the panic was short-lived — investors soon realized that Atlas is no more of an AI-powered Chrome clone
- Google quickly rebounded 3.5%, showing resilience and confidence in its ecosystem.
With pre-market already near $255, the message is clear :
- Accumulate the stock on every dip.
GOOGL Oct. 22–24 Outlook: “Alphabet Midweek Breakout SetupBulls Eye $260 Gamma Target into Friday Close 🔥
🕒 Daily Timeframe – Macro Bias and Market Structure
GOOGL remains in a strong macro uptrend, riding the ascending channel it’s respected since summer.
Recent structure shows a CHoCH → BOS → CHoCH pattern near the $250–$255 range, signaling that smart money has been reaccumulating after the mid-October pullback.
The $245 area acted as a liquidity sweep and re-entry base. Price has since reclaimed higher structure and continues to respect the channel trendline.
* Trend: Bullish
* Key Support: $245–$246
* Immediate Resistance: $257–$259
* Macro Target: $262–$265 range if $257 breaks
* Indicators:
    * Daily 9 EMA > 21 EMA slope remains bullish.
    * MACD histogram rising from negative territory — early bullish continuation signal.
    * Volume supports steady accumulation, no blow-off tops seen.
Summary: Daily trend still favors buyers; structure suggests preparation for another leg up once $257 is reclaimed.
⏰ 1-Hour Timeframe – Short-Term Trend and Smart Money Structure
  
On the 1H chart, GOOGL shows a clear liquidity sweep below $246 last week followed by a strong CHoCH at $252 and a BOS over $255, confirming reaccumulation.
Price is holding above intraday demand at $252–$253, and bulls are attempting to reclaim the critical $257 level. If a 1H candle closes above $257 with volume, expect momentum expansion toward $260–$262.
* Trend: Bullish Bias
* Support Zones: $252.4–$253.0 and $245.8–$246.0
* Resistance Zones: $257.0–$259.0 (BOS + GEX wall)
* Indicators:
    * 9 EMA curling above 21 EMA — bullish transition forming.
    * MACD turning positive, histogram rising.
    * Volume showing renewed demand after Friday’s flush.
Summary: Holding above $252 confirms buyers in control. A clean breakout above $257 triggers continuation toward the next liquidity pool.
📉 15-Minute Timeframe – Intraday Structure & Entry Precision
  
The 15M chart reveals a breakout from a descending wedge with multiple CHoCH → BOS confirmations, marking a clear momentum shift to the upside.
However, there’s still friction near $257.3 — a level acting as both supply and local liquidity cap. Expect short-term consolidation between $252–$257 before the next impulse move.
* Bullish Entry: Above $256.5 on strong candle close.
* Scalp Targets:
    * T1: $257.5
    * T2: $260–$262
* Stop-Loss: Below $252.2 (beneath demand block and EMA support).
* Bearish Setup: Rejection above $257 followed by CHoCH → BOS down confirmation.
    * T1: $252.5
    * T2: $247.5 (liquidity + GEX defense).
* Indicators:
    * 9 EMA > 21 EMA crossover imminent.
    * MACD bullish crossover, histogram rising.
    * Stoch RSI mid-zone reset — room for continuation.
Summary: Momentum is building for an upside breakout. Watch $252 for demand defense and $257 for breakout validation.
💥 GEX & Options Sentiment – Dealer Positioning and Gamma Map
  
The GEX chart paints a clear picture of where dealer positioning could steer price action:
* Positive Gamma Zone: $255–$262 (dealer stability zone).
* Key Call Walls: $257.5 → $260 → $262.5 — each a step toward potential gamma expansion.
* Put Support: $247.5 and $242.5 — major defense levels tied to negative gamma.
* Neutral Pin Zone: $252–$255, likely area of consolidation midweek before breakout.
IVR: 53 – volatility moderate, great for swing setups.
Flow: 34.6% Calls vs 46% IVx avg — balanced but leaning bullish; ripe for upside acceleration once $257 breaks.
Implication:
A breakout above $257.5 could trigger dealer hedging pressure upward, sending GOOGL toward $260–$262 into the weekend. Failure to hold above $255 reverts the stock back into the $252–$255 pin zone.
🧭 Final Outlook (Oct. 22–24)
From Wednesday to Friday, expect range compression followed by directional expansion.
* If bulls defend $252 and break $257 with conviction → likely gamma-fueled squeeze toward $260+.
* If rejection repeats → short-term retest of $252 possible before reattempt higher.
Structure, EMA alignment, and MACD confluence all point toward controlled bullish continuation. The setup favors swing traders looking to ride the next impulse leg.
My plan: Watch for Wednesday retest near $253 → Thursday breakout confirmation → Friday gamma push toward $260+.

GOOGL Bullish Continuation: Breakout Retest Toward 300Hello, traders! GOOGL on the 1D chart remains in a dominant uptrend after a clean breakout from its September–October range. Price is pressing near highs, with momentum and breadth consistent with a bull flag resolution. The prior Resistance at $255.50 marked the top of that range; the breakout above it signals continuation. First key support sits near $230.00, which flipped from resistance earlier and aligns with the trend structure. 
Primary path: look for a constructive pullback into the breakout zone at $276–$281 to hold, then continuation toward the psychological $300 handle and, if momentum persists, the $305–$310 zone. Breakout traders can also use a daily close above the recent high at $291.59 as confirmation; a stronger trigger is a daily close > $292.00 on firm volume. If buyers fail to defend the near-term structure, a decisive close back below $253.00 would invalidate the bullish view; tighter risk managers can use a close below $276.00 as the line in the sand.

Is Google Entering Distribution? (GOOG, GOOGL Analysis)⚡ Overview
Recently, the charts of all major tech giants — Apple, Amazon, Google, Meta, and Microsoft — have started to look almost identical.
Each of them seems to be either topping out or entering what looks like a distribution phase.
In this post, I’ll share my technical and fundamental outlook on Google (GOOG, GOOGL), along with the key risks and price zones I’m watching as a trader.
💡 Fundamental View
  
From a fundamental perspective, Google still looks strong:
 
 The P/E ratio has been growing steadily.
 Revenue continues to rise.
 The company has been aggressively buying back shares for years.
 
So fundamentally, this is not a bubble.
By Peter Lynch’s fair value formula, Google remains fairly valued, maybe even with a modest upside left.
However, strong fundamentals don’t always mean big growth ahead — especially when the market has already priced in perfection.
And that’s typically when the distribution phase begins.
📈 Technical View
  
According to Elliott Wave Theory, Google seems to be completing the fifth sub-wave within a larger third wave —
a structure that often marks the final stage before a distribution or correction phase.
On the long-term chart, price is now approaching the upper boundary of the rising channel,
with limited upside potential — possibly up to $430–$450, which represents the top zone.
Beyond that, the probability of continued growth drops sharply, while correction risk increases significantly.
⚙️ Market Structure
When analyzing the volume profile, the largest accumulation zone sits around $15 – $16 —
that’s where long-term investors entered 15 years ago.
Those early buyers are now sitting on massive unrealized profits,
and many are gradually distributing (selling) positions into current strength.
Meanwhile, retail traders often see the ongoing move as “more upside ahead.”
But in reality, this could be the final buying climax before a deeper correction.
🧩 Cycle Context
Interestingly, the same pattern is visible across Apple, Meta, Amazon, and Microsoft.
It’s not just about one stock — the entire Big Tech segment appears to be entering a similar maturity stage of the cycle.
That’s why I believe Google could soon transition from markup to distribution,
followed by a potential multi-quarter sideways or corrective phase.
💬 What’s your take? Do you think Google will reach $400 before correcting — or has the top already formed?

Google Wave Analysis – 24 October 2025- Google broke key resistance level 255.00
- Likely to rise to resistance level 270.00
Google broke above the key resistance level 255.00 (which stopped the previous impulse waves 3 and i, as can be seen from the daily Google chart below).
The breakout of the resistance level 255.00 accelerated the active minor impulse wave 5 of the daily impulse sequence (1) from April.
	
Given the strong daily uptrend, Google currency pair can be expected to rise to the next resistance level 270.00 (target price for the completion of the active impulse wave iii).
GOOGL Friday Momentum Test – Oct. 17Bulls Defend the Trendline as Gamma Builds Near $251🔥”
📊 Multi-Timeframe Breakdown
🕒 1. Daily Chart – Macro Structure (“The Why”)
GOOGL’s overall macro trend remains bullish after months of consistent higher highs and higher lows. The recent CHoCH near $253–$255 signals a temporary cooling phase following the parabolic August rally.
Price continues to respect the ascending channel drawn from the May low, currently retesting mid-channel support around $246–$248. Momentum indicators show a natural consolidation within an ongoing uptrend — not a breakdown.
Macro Bias: Still bullish unless $236 breaks, but short-term correction pressure is evident. Smart money appears to be redistributing positions near the upper channel after an extended run.
⏰ 2. 1-Hour Chart – Active Market Structure (“The Setup”)
 xhttps://www.tradingview.com/x/Iblu5YtL/ 
The 1-hour chart shows a clean BOS → CHoCH pattern as GOOGL transitioned from impulsive buying to range-bound behavior.
Price broke structure above $247, extended to $256.9, and has since pulled back to retest the $247–$249 demand zone, which also aligns with a prior FVG fill and trendline support.
Both 9 EMA and 21 EMA are starting to flatten, signaling that momentum is stabilizing after the early-week push.
The MACD shows weakening histogram bars with the line nearing a crossover — a neutral stance leaning slightly bearish intraday.
If price holds above $247, this could serve as a base for another breakout attempt next week.
Key Levels:
* Support: $247.0 → $244.8 → $240.0
* Resistance: $251.5 → $256.9 → $260.0
💹 3. 15-Min Chart – Intraday Execution (“The How”)
  
On the 15-min timeframe, price structure has compressed into a tight consolidation range between $250–$253, with visible CHoCH and BOS oscillations — textbook accumulation behavior before a Friday directional move.
The MACD histogram is flattening near zero, and Stoch RSI is curling upward from oversold territory, hinting at possible bullish relief.
If bulls defend the intraday BOS zone at $250, a squeeze into $253–$256 is highly possible. But if $249 breaks with volume, downside liquidity targets open fast toward $245–$243.5 (previous imbalance fill zone).
Scalp Play Idea:
* Bullish: Enter above $252.0, target $255.5–$257, stop below $249.8.
* Bearish: Enter on breakdown below $249.0, target $245 → $243, stop above $251.8.
📈 4. GEX (Gamma Exposure) Chart – Dealer Positioning (“The Fuel”)
  
Friday’s option structure shows a tight gamma cluster forming near GOOGL’s current price:
* Highest positive GEX / Call Resistance: $255–$257
* Gamma Pivot (HVL): $251–$252 → current trading zone and likely magnet.
* Put Walls: $242 → $237
* Max Call Walls: $260–$265
Dealers remain slightly long gamma around current levels, which could suppress volatility until price decisively breaks out of the $247–$253 band.
If GOOGL pushes above $253, hedging could flip supportive, triggering a controlled gamma squeeze into $256–$258.
Conversely, breaking below $247 could flip dealers short gamma, expanding volatility into next week toward the $242 support cluster.
Volatility Note:
* IVR 59.3 and IVx avg 47.8 show traders expect higher-than-normal movement.
* Call flow 22.8% vs Put flow 77% — suggests more hedging on downside exposure, meaning a quick reversal could trap shorts if SPY remains firm Friday.
🎯 Final Outlook
Friday’s GOOGL tone revolves around whether bulls can defend $247–$249.
If that zone holds, the stock could retrace back toward $255+ into the weekly close — especially if SPY or QQQ sustain their bounce.
However, if the trendline cracks and volume expands below $247, expect a controlled gamma unwind that could drag price into $243–$240 before stabilizing.
Personally, I’m watching for a fake breakdown setup under $249 that reclaims $251 with volume — that’s a classic Friday reversal pattern with asymmetric reward.

Google ready for higher!I am liking the look of  NASDAQ:GOOG  for another push to all time high before lower to complete macro elliot wave 3.
Wave 4 has typical target of the 0.382 Fibonacci retracement which sits  at the previous all time high and also fils the gap left and meets the daily 200EMA! Lots of confluence and ill be buying here if we get it.
Daily Rsi has crossed bullishly from below the EQ.

GOOG is breaking a bull flagThis October, Google has formed a textbook bull flag pattern.  If price breaks to the upside, we could see the  current rally continue  for several more days.
Many analysts (BMO, TMC or HSBC among others) have recently placed GOOG’s target area between $285–$300, which aligns perfectly with the technical structure currently forming.
This setup offers a tight stop of just 1–2%, while aiming for potential returns around 10%, a solid risk/reward opportunity.
