What is the trend?
| MA Period | Value | Price vs MA | Distance |
|---|---|---|---|

| 21-day | 319.87 | Below | -3.9% |

The trend in Alphabet Inc. is negative. The Trend & Momentum Score reads 21/100, with price below the 50-day and 200-day moving averages — the intermediate trend structure has broken down. Price is 23.6% above the 200-day moving average — a substantial distance that reflects the strength of the long-term move but also suggests the asset is far from its long-term mean.
Is momentum building or fading?
Momentum is negative across all timeframes — 10-day (-1.2%), 21-day (-8.1%), and 63-day (-3.5%) — though the rate of decline may be moderating. RSI at 40 reflects bearish momentum, though not yet at extreme levels — selling pressure is present but has not reached exhaustion. The MACD histogram is negative, reinforcing the bearish momentum signal across all timeframes.
How extended is this move?
Price sits 3.9% below the 50-day moving average — near or slightly below the intermediate trend line (18th percentile of its historical range). Bollinger Band %B at 0.29 shows price in the lower half of its recent volatility range. Bollinger Bandwidth at 0.173 shows expanded volatility — the asset is making larger-than-normal moves. High bandwidth typically follows a breakout or breakdown and can persist during trending moves.
Where are the key levels?
$318.52 – $331.08
$138.28 – $167.18
The strongest support zone is $138 — $167, 50% below current price, where 10 independent signals converge — major swing at $141, double bottom at $144, major swing at $147, double bottom at $151, and 6 other signals. Resistance sits at $319 — $331, 6% above — major swing at $329, SMA-21 at $320, and SMA-50 at $320. The volume Point of Control over the past year sits at $165, where the most trading activity occurred — a significant level if price revisits that area.

What risk am I taking?
The risk-return profile of Alphabet Inc. is excellent. The Risk Profile Score reads 89/100 — strong returns with well-contained downside, a combination that supports meaningful position sizing. The 1-year Sortino Ratio of 3.1 is strong — returns have been well above what the downside volatility would justify. Maximum drawdown over the past year was -16.7%, indicating the losses, when they came, were contained. Beta of 0.20 indicates very low correlation to the broader market — Alphabet Inc. moves largely independently of equity market swings.

Direction Assessment
Confirmed uptrend with capital inflow
Uptrend without volume support
Capital flowing in, trend not yet established
Downtrend with capital outflow
Excellent risk/reward. Standard positioning appropriate.
The combined signal is weak. Both trend (21/100) and flow (29/100) confirm bearish conditions — the asset is trending down with capital leaving. The Risk Profile Score at 89/100 provides at least some floor — while the directional picture is poor, the risk metrics are not as severe as the trend and flow would suggest.
Conclusion
Across the framework, Alphabet Inc. is in a weak position. Trend, flow, and momentum are aligned to the downside — the data does not currently support a bullish stance. The risk profile is the standout — at 89/100, the excellent return-to-risk trade-off is the most defining characteristic for sizing decisions. These scores update daily as new data arrives. Flipside does not predict what happens next — it shows what is happening now, grounded in the data.
