AI-driven cloud growth offset by profitability concerns on heavy spending

Alphabet Inc. reported a 103% year-over-year surge in Google Cloud revenues to $30.7 billion, as highlighted in its latest quarterly earnings call, driven by rapid growth in AI infrastructure and related solutions. According to Theglobeandmail, management emphasized expanding enterprise adoption, with nearly 90% of Fortune 100 companies now using Gemini Enterprise, supporting Alphabet's position in the competitive AI landscape. Meanwhile, TipRanks noted that the company is expanding Google's employee buyout program to five additional countries to manage operational costs amid increased AI investment, while Bloomberg reported that these heavy investments are pressuring Google Search revenue, creating some market tension around profitability.

Mixed momentum as price straddles key technical boundaries

GOOGL is trading above its MA-20 at $284.44, but remains under the MA-50 at $295.15 and the MA-200 at $339.98. The Ichimoku Kijun level at $286.71 has functioned as immediate support. Momentum indicators present a mixed picture: MACD and Awesome Oscillator are both neutral, while ADX signals buy-side momentum. RSI, Stochastic RSI, and CCI each sit in their neutral ranges, and Bull/Bear Power shows a moderate positive value of 3.98, reflecting a degree of intraday buyer strength despite a price close near today's session low.

Downside risk prevails given prevailing consolidation and probabilities

Over the next two to three trading days, GOOGL is likely to move within a $280.87 to $298.13 range. Market probabilities indicate a 61% chance of a downward move and a 39% chance of an upside move. If the price remains confined, it will likely consolidate between these levels. An upward breakout past $298.13 would open room for further gains, while a drop below $280.87 would suggest renewed selling pressure.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, sees Alphabet’s cloud-driven revenue growth as positive, but notes rising costs and mixed technical momentum. He points out that heavy AI investment keeps pressure on Search revenue and stock sentiment. Most price indicators look neutral, with the stock unable to retake the $295.15 MA-50 level. "Until GOOGL reclaims $295.15 on strength, my outlook stays cautious and defensive."

Previously it was reported that Google could become a co-owner of a major data center developed by TeraWulf for Anthropic, reflecting Alphabet's increasing involvement in AI infrastructure partnerships. Against this backdrop of expanding strategic investments, traders should watch for potential volatility around $280.87 on the downside and $298.13 on the upside as Alphabet's AI-driven growth meets ongoing cost pressures.
