Today we are looking to see if Alphabet can follow other tech companies like Apple to make new highs. Big tech companies (Apple, Microsoft, Facebook, Alphabet, especially) making new highs is bullish for the market a few reasons, as we covered in a previous post (see our related S&P post in the links below).
The good news is some rotation out of other sectors and into tech today might be just what is needed to push the NASDAQ, big tech, and Alphabet to new heights.
Let's take a look at big search to see if GOOGL has what it takes to break resistance.

Support: The S1 bullish S/R orderblock cluster is our first point of support for the GOOGL bulls. Although we would likely get there by way of a series of lower lows, there is no reason we can't find support here and move up as people weight their portfolio to tech due to "second wave" COVID fears.
If S1 can't hold, the S2 orderblock formed by a previous gap is a good candidate for support. This isn't the ideal correction for the bulls, but it retains an overall bullish price structure.
The S3 S/R flip is hard to hit without the bullish market structure being lost, however, it is a notable support level if the markets go into a more serious correction. While support exists below S3, it is irrelevant to our current question of a path to new all-time highs over any reasonable timeframe.
Resistance: R1 is the first point of resistance for the bulls. Breaching R1 and finding support on it or above it is paramount. The ideal for bulls is to maintain the current momentum and avoid a pattern of lower highs and lower lows.
Above R1 we have the R2 orderblock from the gap down at the start of the COVID drop. R2 is a logical point of resistance on the path to all-time-highs, as it gives a chance for consolidation without sacrificing momentum.
Lastly, the R3 S/R Flip and R4 all-time highs are the final points of resistance. Either/both of these levels could provide one final challenge for bulls before it's off to the races.
Summary: Alphabet has a clear path to all-time highs, and if the bulls can pull it off it will be very bullish for the markets. If Apple can do it, we think Alphabet can do it. Then of course so can Microsoft, Facebook, etc. This should set off a chain reaction to take the indexes (which are all tech-heavy) to new highs.
