Breakout Play on GOOGL

Long
NASDAQ:GOOGL   Alphabet Inc (Google) Class A
The share price of GOOGL rose in after-hours trading yesterday after Google's parent company Alphabet posted robust earnings for the fourth quarter. This entails the opportunity for catching the newly emerging uptrend.

The upswing commenced following the completion of the last 1-5 Elliott impulse wave pattern at the lower limit of the descending channel.

The price action is to test the 100-day MA (in blue) after today's open. If it manages to break it, the next target would be the 61.8 per cent Fibonacci retracement level at 2817.87, which is currently converging with the 200-day MA (in orange) and the upper limit of the channel; both factors making this last Fibonacci threshold a more significant barrier.

Conversely, a failed breakout could potentially lead to a dropdown to the 38.2 per cent Fibonacci at 2693.62, which is about to converge with the 50-day MA (in green). Traders could potentially use such a dropdown to buy the dip of the correction.
