Concerning technical analysis and more specifically, trend indicators, investors are seeking long positions as Alphabet price action surged above +100 — a key CCI threshold indicating an imminent bullish trend. Asset volatility analysis shows that Bollinger Band® analysis indicates that current price action is approaching the upper band at $109.54, thereby suggesting that Google is becoming overvalued. A study of Google's chart reveals various key levels to watch: Google could be slowing down soon; it is getting close to the resistance line and is now at $108.82, only 28 cents away. Crossing the resistance line could, however, suggest that further gains are ahead.
Overall, the technical outlook suggests Google is likely to remain muted for the immediate future, with no clear-cut direction.
