Alphabet Earnings Preview: AI-Powered Moves With Leveraged and Inverse ETFs
By: Barchart | January 31, 2025

Alphabet Inc.'s (GOOGL) Q4 2024 earnings report (February 4th after market close) comes amid an aggressive artificial intelligence (AI) expansion. Key areas of focus include AI integration across Search and Cloud platforms, YouTube's advertising momentum, and the recent Gemini model rollout. Investors will also watch for updates on cloud market share gains, Search monetization metrics, and the company's competitive position against Microsoft and Amazon in the AI race.

In addition to these core metrics, market participants are eyeing capital allocation strategies and the impact of AI investments on margins, particularly after last quarter's impressive 33.6% profit growth and continued market share gains in cloud services.

As a central player in the tech sector's AI transformation, GOOGL tends to see substantial volatility around earnings releases. For traders looking to position around these potential price swings, Direxion's Single Stock Daily Leveraged & Inverse ETFs offer specialized tools designed for short-term tactical trading.

What to Expect from Alphabet's Next Earnings Report

Analysts expect Alphabet to deliver earnings of $2.12 per share, representing a significant 29.3% increase from last year's $1.64. The company enters this report with strong momentum, having topped Wall Street's expectations in each of the past four quarters, including last quarter's 15.9% beat. Cloud revenue growth and AI adoption metrics remain key focus areas after the previous quarter's 15.1% total revenue growth to $88.3 billion.

October's Q3 results sparked a 2.8% stock gain as investors cheered the successful integration of AI features across core products and YouTube's milestone achievement of surpassing $50 billion in trailing twelve-month ad and subscription revenues.

Alphabet's Earnings Track Record

The tech giant has demonstrated consistent outperformance, with earnings surprises ranging from 2.50% to a remarkable 26.85% over the past four quarters. The stock's strong reaction to October's results highlighted investor confidence in Alphabet's AI execution, particularly the successful launch of new search features and cloud solutions. The company's 39.7% gain over the past 52 weeks has substantially outpaced both the S&P 500 and its sector peers.

Trading Tools for Alphabet's AI-Driven Momentum

Alphabet's leadership in the AI revolution creates compelling opportunities for short-term traders. Direxion's Single Stock Daily Leveraged & Inverse ETFs, introduced in September 2022, provide ways to attempt to capitalize on GOOGL's price movements without traditional margin requirements or short-selling restrictions...

Initially celebrated for its groundbreaking speed and unmatched computational power, Willow suddenly became the center of mystery, speculation, and fear. Sources claim that scientists spotted something strange in its final data streams - anomalies that defied explanation. Then, an ethical hacker uncovered something even more chilling: a hidden vulnerability that could change everything we thought we knew about quantum computing and security. Was this an accident, or a glimpse into something far more dangerous?

GOOGL Forecast – Major Stocks Look to Move Higher in Premarket
By: Christopher Lewis | January 14, 2025

• GOOGL Technical Analysis

And finally, Alphabet, or Google, has a pretty flat open, just a few cents higher than the Monday session, but the Monday session was a perfect hammer off of a support level, and it looks like it’s trying to recover here and bounce back towards the top of the range, which I’m going to, for a lack of anything better to use, call $200. And that gives us an opportunity to see this market rise, build up pressure, and then perhaps eventually take off.

With the growth situation in the United States, it does make a certain amount of sense that we will continue to see the big stocks get bigger, although interest rates have been a bit of a concern. But at the end of the day, profits will make up for all of these fears.

did Willow do that already?

if a supercomputer is 10,000,000 faster than a regular computer, then the quantputer can mine the 2,000,0o0 bitcoins left in 0.000000011163744x10,000,000=0.11163744 seconds

according to my math, it will take Willow 0.000000011163744 seconds to mine the remaining 2,000,000 bitcoins. i use 155,000kWh to mine one bitcoin, i use regular computer speed = super computer speed, regular computer power consumption 100Wh, and 2,000,000 remaining bitcoins to be mined

dont care if Goog is @ 200, 300, 500,... looking for $800

Google to introduce AI Mode in search engine, rivaling chatbots
By: Investing | December 19, 2024

Google (NASDAQ:GOOGL) is planning to introduce an AI Mode to its search engine, a move that could rival existing AI chatbots, according to a report from The Information, citing sources. The new feature will resemble Google's own Gemini AI chatbot, which currently operates separately from the search engine. This development is expected to significantly increase Gemini's user base.

The introduction of AI Mode demonstrates Google's efforts to adapt its primary revenue source in the face of transformative chatbot services like ChatGPT and Perplexity. These services are changing how people find information, from shopping and travel suggestions to writing tips and recipe searches. Android Authority has previously reported on the planned addition of AI Mode to Google's search engine.

Software (ETR:SOWGn) code already integrated into Google's search app implies that AI Mode could enable users to interact with Google Search on their Android devices, similar to how they can communicate with Google Gemini or ChatGPT. Android Authority found similar code in Google’s Android app.

A spokesperson from Google stated that as their advanced models continue to improve, there is a significant opportunity to incorporate these new capabilities into Search, helping people discover even more of the web.

However, the introduction of AI Mode is not without risks. Google is currently anticipating penalties from a federal judge after being ruled as an illegal monopoly. The Department of Justice has indicated it may want to restrict Google's ability to leverage its search engine to outperform AI chatbot competitors, potentially hindering the implementation of new features like AI Mode.

Google could argue that its search engine has always been AI-powered, suggesting that the new changes are not substantial.

Users will be able to switch to AI Mode by clicking a tab located at the top of a results page. The new tab will be positioned to the left of other longstanding tabs such as All, Images, Videos, and Shopping.

Since the launch of ChatGPT in late 2022, Google has felt the pressure to innovate their products or launch new ones to counter the threat posed by AI chatbots. In response, Google launched Bard in March 2023, which was later renamed to Gemini and launched separately from search. In February, Google started promoting the Gemini chatbot in its Google mobile app. In May, it launched AI Overviews, a feature that initially faced backlash for producing inaccurate results that quickly spread on social media, leading Google to scale back the feature.

While ChatGPT hasn't seemingly affected Google Search's ad revenue, Google executives are preparing for such a possibility, particularly as OpenAI continues to promote its web-search capabilities. ChatGPT claims it has over 300 million weekly users. Google has not disclosed the number of Gemini chatbot users, but data from firms tracking chatbot usage show that ChatGPT is significantly ahead of its competitors. For example, Similarweb (NYSE:SMWB) reported that ChatGPT had nearly 14 times more visitors than Gemini in November.

Example of a Symmetry Setup In GOOGL
By: Carolyn Boroden | December 13, 2024

GOOGL is a good example of one of the three trade setups we look for every day in our service: 1) Fibonacci Price Clusters, 2) Symmetry Setups and 3) Two-Step Pattern setups. Read more about the 3 Setups here.

This was actually a symmetry setup. There were a couple of standout zones we were watching on the way down in GOOGL last month, and the first one illustrated at the 162.94-163.72 area. These projections came from prior declining swings that were projected from the high at that time.

That zone was tested and GOOGL held above it, so we looked for a buy trigger. It came in on a 30-minute chart around the 168.77 area with the 8/34 ema crossover. From this setup zone GOOGL rallied $31.91, and if you used a tight stop you are now out of this setup.

Keep in mind that not all setups will play out, but our risk is defined. For example my recent setup on IWM did trigger, but then we had a failure when the original support was violated. Remember to be disciplined!
