Record revenue and AI expansion drive growth and user surge

Alphabet's latest quarterly earnings report showed record consolidated revenue of $109.9 billion, up 22% year-over-year, alongside a near doubling of net income to $62.6 billion and diluted EPS to $5.11. This robust financial performance confirms the company's strong operational momentum and supports continued growth prospects. Meanwhile, user activity on the Gemini app accelerated sharply, with monthly users doubling to 900 million, while Alphabet’s commissioning of over 3 million TPUs from Intel aims to further scale its AI infrastructure. The completion of a major commercial Gemini agreement, projected to contribute $1 billion in annual recurring revenue, also adds a stable growth vector for future periods.

Price strength diverges from weakening momentum and resistance risks

On the technical side, GOOGL/USD is trading above both the SMA-20 and SMA-50 on the hourly chart, and remains well above the daily SMA-200. Immediate support is provided by the Ichimoku Kijun at $365.67. Key ranges for the next sessions are defined by support at $361.83 and resistance at $376.99. While the $7.87 upward gap and mid-range positioning indicate intraday strength, momentum indicators are weak: MACD, ADX, and CCI all signal Sell, RSI is at a bearish 41.68, Stoch RSI is Neutral, and BBP is Oversold, highlighting a divergence between price action and underlying momentum.

Bearish tilt emerges as volatility bands define near-term range

Looking ahead, the next several sessions are likely to see GOOGL/USD fluctuate within a volatility band from $361.83 to $376.99. Current probabilities skew slightly to the downside, with a 55% chance of a move lower, making a bearish scenario modestly more likely than a recovery. The base case envisions sideways consolidation near present levels, while a close above $376.99 would open a path to further upside. Should price fall below $361.83, downside momentum could accelerate, defining a bearish short-term scenario.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, Traders Union expert, sees Alphabet’s strong Q1 2026 fundamentals driving current market optimism. Robust revenue and profit growth, rapid Gemini adoption, and significant AI infrastructure expansion form a solid growth narrative. Technical signals reveal short-term momentum risks, but the underlying macro and sentiment remain positive. He believes a breakout is possible if GOOGL/USD holds above $361.83. "If Alphabet sustains its fundamental momentum and regains technical strength, the upside scenario remains well supported in the coming sessions."

Earlier, analysts noted that Alphabet faced heightened regulatory uncertainty and a bearish technical bias following antitrust developments and significant AI investment commitments. With the stock now demonstrating resilience above key averages amid record quarterly earnings but continued technical divergences, the primary risk for traders is a downside break below $361.83, which could trigger renewed selling momentum.
