GOOG is trading at overhead resistance but chart is constructive

Russell Shor Written by Russell Shor

GOOG is pressing into overhead resistance near $325. The EMAs have turned bullish, with the shorter green EMA now above the longer orange EMA, and the RSI holding above 50. If momentum stays intact and the EMAs begin to widen with positive slope, the probability of a breakout above the resistance zone increases.

Noteworthy, Cantor Fitzgerald has turned bullish on Alphabet, arguing its AI edge will support further gains. The broker upgraded the shares to overweight with a higher $370 target, noting Gemini and Google's wider AI stack remain under-appreciated. With regulatory pressure easing and revenue momentum building in search and cloud, Cantor thinks Alphabet's competitive position is strengthening despite last year's strong rally.
