A very strong day for Google stock price on Friday
(Updated on Jul 31, 2026)
The Google stock price gained 6.88% on the last trading day (Friday, 31st Jul 2026), rising from $333.68 to $356.65. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 5.80% from a day low at $339.17 to a day high of $358.85. The price has risen in 6 of the last 10 days and is up by 3.04% over the past 2 weeks. Volume has increased on the last day along with the price, which is a positive technical sign, and, in total, 13 million more shares were traded than the day before. In total, 30 million shares were bought and sold for approximately $10.82 billion.
The stock lies the upper part of a wide and falling trend in the short term, and this may normally pose a very good selling opportunity for the short-term trader as reaction back towards the lower part of the trend can be expected. A break up at the top trend line at $358.67 will firstly indicate a slower falling rate, but may be the first sign of a trend shift. Given the current short-term trend, the stock is expected to fall -14.06% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $268.63 and $308.25 at the end of this 3-month period. Do note, that if the stock price manages to stay at current levels or higher, our prediction target will start to change positively over the next few days as the conditions for the current predictions will be broken.
GOOG Signals & Forecast
The Google stock holds buy signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a positive forecast for the stock, but the stock has a general sell signal from the relation between the two signals where the long-term average is above the short-term average. On corrections down, there will be some support from the lines at $331.81 and $350.19. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals. A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Thursday, July 23, 2026, and so far it has risen 12.03%. Further rise is indicated until a new top pivot has been found. Volume is rising along with the price. This is considered to be a good technical signal. Some negative signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. Furthermore, there is currently a sell signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD).

Trading Expectations (GOOG) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Monday 3rd
For the upcoming trading day on Monday, 3rd we expect Alphabet Inc. to open at $351.56, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $350.59 and $362.71, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$12.13 (+/-3.46%) up or down from last closing price. If Alphabet Inc. takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 3.46% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.
Since the stock is closer to the support from accumulated volume at $355.68 (0.27%) than the resistance at $369.27 (3.54%), our systems sees the trading risk/reward intra-day as attractive and believe profit can be made before the stock reaches first resistance..
