Google/Alphabet is the one FANG stock that has demonstrated better relative strength than the others (Facebook, Amazon, and Netflix). With such a high valuation, this stock is hit hard when the markets get pounded – we just saw this happen in early February. At that time, Google made a bottom. Since then, we’ve seen it move up with a series of higher lows. Volume levels have started to rise, and relative strength has remained solid, especially on the days the markets are taking a hit.
The bullish W pattern is evident in the chart, and while Google is still about 6% off all time highs, the action has been positive. We note a bullish crossover on the MACD, which is generally a precursor of good things to come. We are definitely bullish on Google, and in the Explosive Options service, we just booked a 48% winner March 14 for some at the money April calls. We rolled them into April 760 strikes.
