Technical Analysis – Alphabet storms to record highs ahead of earnings
Alphabet shares surge to consecutive all-time highs
Momentum indicators are approaching overbought zones
This poses asymmetric risks for the upcoming earnings report
If the stock defies all odds and extends its rally to uncharted waters, initial resistance could be found at 167.81, which is the 123.6% Fibonacci extension of the 151.67-83.27 downleg. Failing to halt there, the price may then challenge the 138.2% Fibo of 177.80.
On the flipside, in the case of a downside correction, the 2021 peak of 151.67 could act as the first line of defence. Should that barricade fail, the price could slide towards the 78.6% Fibo of 137.03. A violation of that zone might pave the way for the 61.8% Fibo of 125.54.
In brief, Alphabet's stock is trading at all-time high levels and above its upper Bollinger band ahead of its Q4 earnings report on Tuesday. This implies the risks are asymmetrically tilted to the downside as the advance is pretty much overstretched.
