GOOG opened trading on Friday at $708.65 which was down from the previous days trading of $710.36. GOOG closed trading yesterday at $691.72, equivalent to a 2% decrease from the opening price. Taking a look at the daily chart we can see the last time GOOG traded below these levels was on April 28th when it traded at $691.02 . Taking a closer look at the daily chart we can see that GOOG has been on a downward trend dating back to April 18th when it traded at $766.61. GOOG has a float of 589.93 million shares and traded 1.77 times the normal daily trading volume on Friday. For trading purposes, I would like to see GOOG open trading on Monday below $697.30 and if it does I would be looking to take a short position at the bell. My stop loss would be $1.70 from my entry position fearing anything more than that and the stock would start to fill in the gap down.
