Google (Alphabet): Overarching Downside PotentialAlphabet (GOOGL) hasn’t been able to reclaim its May 22 high and has settled into a consolidation range around the $170 level. Still, under our primary scenario, we expect the current corrective upswing to continue for a bit before turquoise wave 3 resumes the downtrend. That move should break below $138.35 and carry the price into the magenta Target Zone between $123.92 and $98. After that, a rebound within wave 4 is likely, though it probably won’t be strong enough to retake the $138.35 level. A final leg down in wave 5 should then complete the correction, driving the price deeper into the zone and establishing the low of green wave . This area also marks a potential turning point for the next major move upward. Meanwhile, a detour above resistance at $209.28 for a new high of magenta wave alt.(B) is 24% likely.

Google: Room to Head HigherFor the past two months, GOOGL has been stuck in a sluggish sideways phase, with even its latest breakout attempt quickly sold off. During the magenta wave , we still expect a new high, though a direct transition into the subsequent wave remains technically possible. In our 33% likely alternative scenario, we would have to reckon with a significantly delayed continuation of the overarching upward cycle. In this case, GOOGL would still be working through the (intermediate) correction of the green wave alt. , which would bottom below the support at $147.22.
Google: There We Go!Since late October, the Alphabet stock has been rejected twice at the $181.61 resistance. This Monday, though, it achieved an impulsive rally above this critical level. This advance aligns perfectly with our primary scenario by propelling the magenta wave further upward, and we expect additional gains as this movement progresses. However, the development of the ongoing upward impulse would be significantly delayed in our 33% likely alternative scenario. In this case, Alphabet’s stock would still be working on the corrective green wave alt. and sell off below the support at $147.22.
