Cloud backlog growth spurs optimism amid stable news landscape

Google recently reported rapid growth in its Cloud business, resulting in a $58 billion revenue backlog. No other major new corporate actions or sector developments directly impacted the company. Other reported news, such as shifts in financial regulation or macro trends, did not reference the company.

Mixed momentum and overbought signals temper trend near resistance

The nearest dynamic support is provided by the Ichimoku Kijun at $224.82, with further resistance potentially found near the recent highs or the next round level above $253.97. Momentum signals are mixed: the MACD remains bullish, but a high ADX on D1 and W1 indicates the current uptrend is losing strength. Daily RSI and CCI are overbought, and Stoch RSI is also at extreme highs, all pointing to stretched conditions. BBP remains neutral, suggesting neither buyers nor sellers dominate intraday action, while the Awesome Oscillator continues to issue a strong buy signal that supports the prevailing trend.

Upward bias persists despite caution from stretched oscillators

For the coming week, GOOGL is expected to fluctuate between $251.62 and $254.77. The probability of a further upward move is very high (more than 80%), while a decline appears very unlikely. The baseline scenario sees price consolidating within this corridor, with a strong break above $254.77 targeting higher levels, and a slip below $251.62 potentially bringing support near $250 into play. Overbought signals suggest some caution, but upward momentum on higher timeframes underpins the current uptrend.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, sees Alphabet Inc. showing persistent bullish signals on all technical timeframes, yet notes that key indicators like RSI and CCI are already overbought, and momentum appears stretched. He remains cautious due to the lack of significant new corporate or sector developments and the possibility of near-term consolidation as the stock sits in a tight range. Kharitonov maintains that upward momentum persists but is wary of a pullback if support at $251.62 is lost. "Base case remains consolidation within the $251.62–$254.77 corridor — until a decisive break, I stay defensive given the overbought signals."

Previously it was noted that Alphabet’s stock rebounded as investor sentiment improved after the Federal Reserve’s recent policy move. Strategic initiatives such as a new data center and regulatory relief were highlighted in the context of renewed buying interest in the company.
