GOOGL, MSFT and META Forecast – AI Stocks a Bit Mixed in Premarket Trading

The three AI related stocks in this analysis all look a bit mixed at the moment, although they have all enjoyed significant strength as of late. At this point, it looks like we are trying to work off some kind of froth.

GOOGL Technical Analysis

Alphabet, or Google, looks like it’s going to open slightly higher during the market open on Wednesday, as pre-market trading is slightly positive. There was quite a bit of noise around the idea of the new AI models that Google is releasing, but there’s also a lot of concern out there about Google’s search business. It’s estimated that there is a rapid shift towards using AI to search as opposed to Google itself. So, the question now is whether or not Google can join the party. The $172 level above looks to be a bit of resistance, so we’ll see if we can break above there, and it is worth noting that we pulled back from the 200-day EMA two out of the last three trading sessions.

MSFT Technical Analysis

Microsoft looks like it’s going to be a little lower at the open on Wednesday as well, but it’s worth noting that after the latest earnings call, this thing just launched. So, a pullback isn’t necessarily the worst thing in the world right now, as it has so much in the way of upward momentum recently. I would not short Microsoft. I suspect that any pullback you get will more likely than not look a lot like value to traders around the world.

META Technical Analysis

Meta also looks like it’s going to open a little soft in the early hours, although not horribly. There is a gap underneath that could offer support. There’s also support in the form of the $600 level. So, I think any pullback is probably going to end up looking very much like a buying opportunity. That being said, it’s worth noting that a lot of the stocks out there, or at least stock indices are stretched, so we may be entering a period of consolidation and just grinding overall. I don’t look for explosive moves to the upside, we’ve already had those, but I’m not necessarily looking for a massive opportunity to start shorting tech stocks either. I think a little bit of patience probably goes a long way here.
