Now it looks like a push to January highs will be put on ice for a while as afterhours trading saw Google at $570 a share. So what can Google investors look forward too over the coming months?
While yesterday's close managed a break of $590 resistance it looks like this move will only push out the resistance boundary for the 3 1/2 month trading range now defined at support of $525 and resistance at $595.
Even with last night's disappointment there are levels of support within the range at $560 (good for most of March) and $550 (former resistance in February, spike low support in March - plus psychologically important). The chief concern is not to lose too much ground. If Google was to close around the $580 mark it could lead to a consolidation handle as sellers dry up. Sideline money would have to consider paying higher prices with the fear the stock could get away if $600 was breached. But if the stock was to close below $560 it would trap most of March and April buyers with losing positions, setting up a thick supply zone for any future advance into that zone ($560-600). If the overall market was to weaken then the risk of a rush to the exits and a test of $530 becomes much higher.
I have not offered a new Trading Idea as it will take a few days for earnings to work its way through price. A shorting opportunity would present on a close below $560 and a long opportunity on break of $600.
