This update will be a quick check on Alphabet (GOOGL) since it reported earnings yesterday. Consider this to be an Alphabet (GOOGL) post-earnings analysis.

Based on the initial move for GOOGL’s share price, what can be expected over the next couple of weeks? Is the long-term trend that I wrote about still intact? Let’s get some answers to those questions!

Alphabet (GOOGL) Post-Earnings

This first chart in this Alphabet (GOOGL) post-earnings analysis is a 3 year weekly candlestick chart. This is the main chart I used to analyze GOOGL’s uptrend in my previous update titled “Long-Term Trend Review for FB, GOOGL & TWTR“.

I have 2 different Fibonacci Extension Tools on its chart that were being used to calculate some upside price targets. The gray shaded box was a previous pullback area to make a scale-in purchase. There is a possibility that GOOGL’s share price gives investors one more opportunity to purchase shares in that preferred zone before going on to make new highs.

There are a few discussion items on the above chart, including some overhead price targets. Let’s review them now[s2If !current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)]……

• The MACD Histogram is just starting to show some selling momentum
• The Golden Ratio is the main price objective for this current medium/long-term uptrend
  • The black Fibonacci Extension Tool calculates to a price target of $1,189.51, or GOOGL’s Golden Ratio
• Look for support around the Trendline or the $960 price level
  • If the $960 area does not hold, do not be in a rush to buy more shares until GOOGL’s share price gets closer to the $900 price level
    • There are shorter-term support areas around the $900 – $920 price level, see the “Short-Term Support Watch” section below

GOOGL – Point & Figure Chart

Let’s do a quick check on GOOGL’s Point & Figure Chart. In my previous update, the P&F Chart indicated higher prices. That seems to be the case still. This is a Closing P&F Chart. It reflects a bullish price objective of $1,149. The High/Low P&F Chart has a similar bullish price objective of $1,164.

The Point & Figure Chart check-up looks good so far. However I recommend that you continue monitoring the P&F Chart at least once a week if you are currently long GOOGL shares.

Any change to a possible bearish price objective may be an early warning of a trend reversal. Currently though, GOOGL’s uptrend appears intact.

GOOGL – Short-Term Support Watch

This last chart for Alphabet (GOOGL) is a 3 months daily candlestick chart to analyze its short-term activity and support areas to watch.

There are 2 Rising Window candlestick support areas to watch. The upper support area is the $958 – $960 price level. This upper support area is almost not visible to the naked eye. If this upper support area does not hold, the 100% Target Line from the black Fibonacci Extension Tool seems to confirm a pullback to the $912.89 price area. That would put GOOGL’s share price right in the middle of the next support area below the $960 support area.

The 2nd Rising Window candlestick pattern has a support area defined as the $893 – $923 price zone. There is also a long-term trendline that offers support around the $900 price level. From a risk to reward perspective, the $893 – $923 price level appears to offer the best entry.

Depending upon your trading and investing strategy, you may want to use one or both of those support areas as scale-in opportunity areas. The $960 area is obviously a more aggressive entry and subject to a temporary decline and further pullback. The $893 – $923 price level is more conservative but requires patience if it will even reach that area.

Alphabet (GOOGL) Post-Earnings Summary

Let’s wrap up this Alphabet (GOOGL) post-earnings analysis. The long-term trend still appears intact.

• • If you want to be long shares of GOOGL and you are not already, use weakness during this short-term pullback to make a scale-in purchase
  • For those that are currently long and own GOOGL shares, continue holding and consider adding to your position on this current pullback

The $960 area is a more aggressive entry as mentioned above. The $912 support area is the next one below if the $960 price target does not hold. Please ask away with any questions about the article.
