Google slips back toward range lows as yields pressure tech valuations
GOOGL is trading around $337–338 on October 1 and is looking weaker again on the 2-hour chart after failing to hold above $350. The early-session push was quickly sold, with the stock slipping back below its short-term moving averages and returning to the lower end of its recent range.

Pressure on GOOGL today is also coming from the broader decline in U.S. equities as U.S. Treasury yields move higher again. This is particularly sensitive for large technology companies because higher yields increase the discount rate applied to future cash flows and make elevated valuations less attractive.
Alphabet is therefore facing pressure from two sides: the market is repricing fast-growing tech stocks while also becoming more demanding about the returns generated by massive AI spending.
Gemini expands deeper into Google ecosystem
The main supportive factor for GOOGL remains the development of Gemini and the broader integration of AI across the company’s products. Google is no longer focusing only on standard chatbot features, but also on more complex use cases in coding, enterprise workflows, search, analytics, and cybersecurity.
For Alphabet, this is important from a monetization perspective because AI is gradually being integrated across several major parts of the business, including Search, Workspace, and Google Cloud. At the same time, the market is becoming increasingly demanding when it comes to results: strong AI announcements alone are no longer enough to drive the stock higher, as a significant part of those expectations is already priced in.
Cloud growth meets rising capex burden
Fundamentally, Cloud remains one of Alphabet’s strongest businesses. The company continues to benefit from growing demand for computing capacity, AI infrastructure, and enterprise services, while existing customers are increasing their use of Google products.
However, the downside is the enormous investment required in data centers, servers, and proprietary AI chips. High capex remains one of the main risks for free cash flow, so investors are paying closer attention not only to revenue growth, but also to how quickly these new investments begin to generate returns.
Earnings could decide next move
The next major catalyst for GOOGL will be Alphabet’s quarterly earnings, with investors likely to focus on Google Cloud growth, Search, AI monetization, and the outlook for capital spending.
For now, the short-term technical picture remains neutral to negative, with downside risks toward $330–320. If the lower end of that zone breaks, the stock could move toward the psychological $300 level. A move back above $350, as noted in Google stock recovers as AI growth offsets regulatory risk, would allow bulls to retest resistance around $360–362.
