GOOGL is coiling just above a tightly-stacked 50-SMA (345.19) and 200-SMA (340.59) at 347.64, with the long bias intact but price sitting only 2.07% above its 200-day — a classic inflection where trend confirmation or rejection typically resolves quickly.

Price trades above both the 50- and 200-SMA, and the 50 sits above the 200, keeping structure constructive. MACD at 1.82 over a 1.07 signal shows positive momentum crossover, but RSI at 51.24 is neutral — momentum is building without being extended. The thin 2.07% cushion to the 200-SMA means the reclaim is still fragile and needs a decisive push through the recent balance to validate continuation.

GOOGL daily chart
EntryPreferred add zone 345.00–347.50 on a hold of the 50-SMA; confirmation trigger on a close above 348.50 to signal breakout from the SMA cluster.
TargetsFirst target 355.00 (near-term swing resistance / momentum extension) → Second target 362.50 (measured move from the 50/200-SMA base)
StopInvalidation on a daily close below 340.59 (200-SMA); losing that level breaks the long structure and shifts bias back to neutral/defensive.
