Alphabet Inc. Stock Is A Temptation To Resist
EWM Interactive | Apr 26, 2017 06:32AM ET
Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOGL) topped $600 billion market capitalization, after its stock closed at a new all-time high of $888.84 per share yesterday. This, plus the fact that it is a great, highly profitable company, could easily tempt investors to jump on board, hoping that the best is yet to come. For the business, this is probably true, but the market is not always rational and the weekly price chart of GOOGL stock seems to be flashing a warning sign.
The weekly chart of GOOGL stock visualizes the entire uptrend since the low near $124 a share in November, 2008. According to the divergence between the last three major highs. In fact, the indicator started diverging back in February, 2014, when Alphabet’s stock price was hovering around $600 a share. Three years and almost $300 per share to the north later, GOOGL stock’s trend seems more exhausted than ever.
However, this is not a sell recommendation. The trend is still up and picking tops is among the riskiest things one could do. On the other hand, we believe it is too late to buy either. Fourth waves usually retrace back to the support area of the previous fourth wave. In this case, GOOGL stock could be expected to decline back to $700 from now on.
