GOOGL’s $150 Battle: Trading the ATH Support Breakout

  • On May 7, 2025, Alphabet ( $Alphabet(GOOGL)$ ) fell over 9% after Apple’s Eddy Cue testified that Apple is exploring AI-powered search alternatives for Safari.

  • The news raised concerns about Google’s search dominance and future revenue, triggering the stock drop.

1. Significance of $150 Resistance Turning into Support

  • Psychology Shift:

    The breakout above $150 (previous ATH) confirms buyers overcame years of selling pressure at this level.

    Investors now see dips to $150 as a "discount," creating demand.

  • Support Zone Strength:

    The 140–150 area is now critical. Holding here maintains the uptrend; losing it undermines bullish conviction.

    Why $140? A pullback beyond 5–7% below the AHT often triggers algorithmic selling.

  • Volume & Price Action:

    A valid support retest should show declining volume on dips (no panic selling) and spikes on bounces (new buyers).

2. Key Scenarios & Trading Implications

  • Bullish Case (Holds $150):

    Target 180–200 (next psychological/resistance zones).

  • Bearish Case (Breaks $140):

    Opens risk of drop to 120–130 (prior swing highs now support).

Could Alphabet sprint to $3trln market cap this year? 2. Is Google your pick for long term holding? 3. Is it the most undervalued stock among Mag 7?
