Alphabet earnings key watch

Advertising revenue

Despite a prevailing slowdown in ads spending, Google advertising is expected to enjoy modest growth during the third quarter. It is estimated that advertising income will grow by 8.2% year-over-year, generating approximately $58.94 billion in the September quarter.

Cloud

Following a remarkable 31% year-on-year growth in Q2 2023, Google Cloud continues to build up its robust momentum in the fiercely competitive cloud market. This momentum is primarily driven by its expanding range of cloud services and the growing number of data centers in its network. According to Zacks' estimates, Google Cloud's revenue is projected to grow by 24.3% from the prior-year quarter, reaching $8.54 billion in Q3.

AI

Alphabet's strong commitment to integrating AI techniques into its search business is expected to boost its revenues in the search sector. Furthermore, with claims of collaborating with 70% of generative AI startups, Google Cloud's strategy of harnessing its partner ecosystem in the AI gold rush not only promises to enhance Google Cloud's profitability but also positions the search engine giant advantageously to capitalize on the opportunities emerging from the impending AI boom.

Nevertheless, a significant question remains: can Google's integration of chatbot AI technology compete with the thriving specialized AI tools and platforms, and what will be the impact of this integrated search engine on its other revenue streams?

Alphabet techinical analysis

In the face of fierece competition in the realms of artificial intelligence and rising interest rates, Alphabet's stock price has surged by nearly 60% this year, outperforming the Nasdaq composite, which has recorded a 29% increase year-to-date.

Based on the weekly chart, the price has steadily moved along an ascending trajectory since early this year. The peak from April 2022 at $142 appears to be a significant resistance level for now. A decisive break above this level would clear the path for the price to challenge its all-time high abvove $149. On the flip side, according to the daily chart, the price might seek immediate support from the 20-day MA, which is situated near $135 in case of a retreat.

    • Lately I’ve been following AIXBT by Virtuals for a bit, and I’m not gonna lie, it’s making me wonder about the direction AI is taking in the crypto space. Kinda seen a lot of hype around AI lately on X and different forums. So here’s my take, instead of just applying AI to the usual market analysis, AIXBT is talking about AI agents that could actually be co-owned and tokenized like digital assets that interact with games, social platforms, and even manage wallets. More findings in the whole co-ownership thingy, which is a great idea especially with the blockchain aspect. A lot of people are talking about how AI could help boost revenue across different platforms, but I’m still skeptical about how this will actually work in practice. These agents are supposed to be able to do things like pick up a sword in Roblox or interact on TikTok, but will they actually change the way users engage with digital spaces? Couple of top exchanges like BINGX already listed $AIXBT which is a big deal, imho as it’s gaining some real traction already.  Notwithstanding, still thinking if this is the future of digital assets, or is it just another trend that’s getting way too much hype?
    • With Clanker native token recently listed on Bitget and already trading above $68, some people have start speculating that this AI-driven token deployment platform on the Base network could increase adoption on the blockchain due to some various reason such as; 1. Ease of Token Creation: Clanker simplifies the process of token creation to the point where it's accessible to anyone with basic social media skills. Users can deploy tokens by simply tagging Clanker on the Farcaster platform, describing their desired token, thereby lowering the entry barriers for token creators and potentially attracting a broader user base to the Base ecosystem. 2. Community Engagement and Viral Potential: The integration of token deployment with social media platforms like Farcaster encourages community participation. Memes and viral content can naturally lead to increased attention and, consequently, adoption. Clanker's tokens often become memes themselves, which can drive speculative interest and trading volume, furthering the network's visibility 3. Profit Sharing Mechanism: Clanker's model includes sharing a portion of the fees with the users who request token deployments. This financial incentive could encourage more people to use Clanker for launching tokens, thus increasing activity on Base. The promise of earning from the liquidity pool fees makes it an attractive proposition for users looking to participate in the crypto space in a potentially profitable manner. 4. Innovation in Tokenomics: By introducing tokens like LUM, which were autonomously created through AI collaboration, Clanker showcases innovative tokenomics. This not only promotes the idea of AI in blockchain but also piques interest in how tokens can be generated, possibly drawing tech enthusiasts and investors curious about new token models. 5. Fostering Decentralized Social Interaction: Clanker's operation within the Farcaster ecosystem highlights how blockchain can intersect with decentralized social networks. This intersection can lead to new forms of interaction and economic models where social engagement directly correlates with token creation, potentially making Base a hub for such activities.  6. Market Activity Boost: The surge in transaction volumes due to Clanker's activity indicates its substantial impact on the network's activity. High transaction volumes often correlate with increased interest and investment in a blockchain, which could lead to greater adoption as more participants are drawn to where the action is.   Is obvious that these factors could increase adoption to base chain but what do you think?
    • I just claimed my allocation to bitget since there is $0 gass fee for claiming. I hope this project cooks
