Alphabet made an initial break below its 10 day Simple Moving Average at $92.37, a possible indication of a forthcoming negative trend.

Despite this, Google could begin to recover as it approaches significant support, now 86 cents away from $90.15. Dipping below could be an indication that further losses are ahead.
