Google stock falls to six-day low after short-lived tariff-pause gains
Google stock drops 5.5% this week
Google (NASDAQ: GOOG) shares have been on a sharp reversal this week, sliding 5.5% week-to-date and erasing more than half of the gains that followed last week’s optimism around Trump’s 90-day tariff pause. The broader downtrend that began in February is regaining control, and technical signals are pointing to further losses in the near term.
On Thursday, Google stock opened at $154.26 and briefly climbed to an intraday high of $154.60 before sellers took charge, driving the price down by 4% to a six-day low of $148.50. Buyers later stepped in at that support level, helping the price close higher at $151.10. Despite the intraday recovery, the day still ended deep in the red, reinforcing the broader bearish structure.

The drop this week has trimmed the month-to-date performance to a loss of -1.64%, flipping what had been a recovering tone into renewed selling pressure. Key support at $150 is now under scrutiny once again. A decisive move below this level could pave the way toward $148.50 and potentially extend the decline to test $147, which would mark a multi-week low.

Technical indicators are not offering any signs of relief. Google stock price daily and 4-hour RSI are lodged in bearish territory and have yet to approach oversold conditions. This leaves room for additional price erosion before a technical bounce might develop.
Unless bulls manage to hold Google stock at the $150 area and spark a rebound, the broader setup tilts toward sellers driving prices lower. In the event of a short-term recovery, immediate resistance stands at $152.80. A move above this level could allow the stock to recover part of the week’s losses, but broader pressure from February’s descending trendline still dominates the longer-term structure.
Overall, Google's stock price rally on tariff-pause headlines has proven short-lived. The technical backdrop has taken precedence once again, and the focus now shifts to whether $150 can hold or give way to another wave of selling.
Google stock reached a three-week high of $161.70 before a 2.5% decline to $157.60. The $157.60 level provided support, helping the stock recover slightly to close at $159.
