Shares of Alphabet (GOOGL) are once again trading higher. The latest darling for AI investors is trading at $332, making it the latest mega cap to tag a $4 trillion market cap. GOOGL has gained 136% since the April 2025 lows. That means a market cap gain of over $2 trillion in 8 months.
However, euphoria may be marking the top. GOOGL is slamming into a parallel channel that goes back to the bull highs of 2021. The lower trend line connects through the 2023 and 2024 lows perfectly. In addition, this marks the eighth.
On the fundamental side, the driver has been Gemini 3, said to be superior to ChatGPT. In addition, Meta Platforms (META) appears to be eyeing Alphabet chips instead of Nvidia (NVDA).
While these fundamental factors are helpful, the stock price of GOOGL should fully reflect these positives, at least for a near-term correction. A pullback to $255 in 2026 looks likely.
