Bard misfires

Alphabet shares tanked after its new AI chatbot Bard misfired on its debut.

Share price chart

Let's take a look at the impact on Alphabet shares first and look at that huge drop over there, that big red candle falling as much as 9%, wiping out some $100 billion of its market cap on Wednesday.

And look down here as well. Big volumes there can be seen almost three times the 50-day moving average.

Microsoft

Have a look at its peer, Microsoft as well in the AI space, because that is quite interesting there. As you can see, also similar volumes there. But Microsoft made a slight gain perhaps on that news.

So back to Alphabet. What was behind that big move? Well, Alphabet's chatbots in short answered a question wrong when asked which satellite first took pictures of a planet outside the Earth's solar system. While still, it did this in its first public demo, that's like tripping ahead of a race. An AI race, of course. Big news given AI tech has been hailed as the next big thing and related stocks like Alphabet, like Microsoft, have posted big gains recently.

Microsoft backs open AI behind chat GPT and Microsoft wants that tech to power its Bing search engine. But as the tech gets rolled out, its limitations are starting to come through and the race is not just about who comes out top dog in the AI race, but who gets it right.

    • Market Breakdown | WTI Oil, EURUSD, GBPNZD, EURAUDHere are the updates & outlook for multiple instruments in my watchlist.1️⃣ WTI Oil daily time frame️The market is trading in a long term bearish trend .After the last sharp bearish movement, the market is steadily recovering.Ahead, I see a major horizontal supply area.Probabilities are high, that the next bearish wave will initiate from there.2️⃣ EURUSD daily time frameAfter a breakout of a solid daily resistance, the market is preparing for its retest.Watch carefully the underlined zone and look for buying opportunities from there.3️⃣ EURAUD weekly time frameThe pair is currently approaching a weekly horizontal resistance cluster.Taking into consideration, that the pair is quite overbought, probabilities will be high to see a pullback from that4️⃣ GBPNZD daily time frameThe pair is currently retesting a broken neckline of an ascending triangle . As we discussed earlier, the trend line of a triangle and its neckline compose a contracting buy zone now.Chances will be high that the next bullish wave will initiate quite soon.For Additional confirmation use: Divergence Indicators
    • #CHFJPY: Classic Bearish Setup 🇨🇭🇯🇵   🔻CHFJPY has nicely respected a confluence zone based on a horizontal 4H resistance and a 0.5 retracement of the last bearish impulse.   The price formed a double top pattern on that and broke its neckline.   Probabilities will be high that the pair will drop lower soon. Goals: 141.172 / 140.363
