Price Charts and Technical Analysis

The GOOG stock is showing a head and shoulders reversal chart pattern (red boxes). The support line (green) is the main decision zone for a potential reversal. 

• A bearish breakout (orange arrows) confirms the deeper bearish retracement towards the long-term moving averages and Fibonacci levels. 
• It also confirms the deeper wave 4 (pink) development rather than the shallower wave 4 (grey).
• An immediate breakout (green arrows) above the resistance (orange) indicates a potential uptrend continuation.
• The Fibs are expected to act as a bouncing spot (blue arrows).
• Only a deeper retracement places the uptrend in question (yellow & red circles).

On the 4 hour chart, the sideways price action is an ABC (orange) pattern. The main question is whether the ABC pattern is complete OR will price action expand it.

• The end of the ABC is confirmed by a bullish breakout.
• The continuation of the ABC pattern can take place with 2 variants:
  • ABCDE triangle chart pattern
  • Deeper ABC retracement after bearish breakout

In all cases, an uptrend is expected eventually. Unless price pushes below the $1,500 round level.
