Google shares have been on a strong rally at the start of the month but
retreated upon testing resistance near the $580/share level.
MACD just reached the overbought level and is turning lower, indicating that a selloff might take place. RSI is also showing a pickup in selling pressure, as the oscillator is heading south from the overbought area as well.
This could offer buyers a good price to get in their long trades, as Google shares could bounce off the longer-term or shorter-term moving averages, which have acted as dynamic inflection points. If so, the stock could continue with its climb and possibly break past the recent highs around $580/share.
A pickup in risk appetite would support more gains for the stock price, which might make its way closer to the $600/share major psychological resistance level in the near term. For now though, the retirement of Google’s CFO has weighed on the share price and might continue to do so until a significant catalyst allows the rally to resume.
Google CFO Patrick Pichette is set to retire soon and that transition will occur over the next six months. This could lead to some concerns on company revenues and profitability, probably dragging share prices much lower for a*few months. Apart from that, the recent Apple announcement has weighed on the outlook for Android devices and led to a drop in Google shares.
