Alphabet climbs 3.3% yet sellers retake control of the volume

September 18, 2026

Our view last week

Alphabet stock closes the week flat, but under the surface something shifts: buyers retake control of volume, at 71%, after last week's 2.3% decline. The candle stays indecisive, though, and volume is contracting, while money flow turns back down. Alphabet stock remains inside a Sell signal under management for fourteen weeks, at +5.89% since entry; the ADX has been declining for 15 weeks now, a sign the trend is losing conviction.

This week's summary

Alphabet bounces 3% off its 20-day moving average, in the 343 area, and closes the week up 3.3%. The tape doesn't follow: sellers are back in the majority at 53% and money flow has stayed below zero for 11 weeks, while the weekly price action remains indecisive, with a distribution phase underway. Technical analysis of Alphabet stock frames a short in its 15th week, still 2.82% in profit, with price penned between the 346 and 350 areas.
