Existential Threat A U.S. District Court ruling on September 3, 2025, spared Alphabet from the most severe penalties in its antitrust case, including the forced divestiture of Chrome and Android. While the DOJ had argued for structural remedies to curb Google’s dominance in search and digital advertising, Judge Amit Mehta rejected these measures, allowing Google to retain its default search engine agreements (notably with Apple) and continue monetizing Android. This outcome eliminates a major regulatory overhang, with Wedbush’s Daniel Ives calling it a 'home run' for the company.

The sector’s 0.30% gain on the S&P 500 contrasted with Alphabet’s outsized move, emphasizing the stock’s idiosyncratic catalyst.

Options Playbook: Leveraging Legal Relief with Gamma-Driven Calls • MACD: 5.48 (above signal line 5.18), bullish crossover confirmed • RSI: 65.64 (neutral to overbought), suggesting momentum retention • Bollinger Bands: Price at 230.27 (above upper band 214.59), indicating strong breakout • 200-day MA: 180.08 (far below current price), signaling long-term strength

Alphabet’s technicals align with a continuation of its legal-driven rally. Key resistance lies at the 52-week high of $231.80, with a breakdown below $225.12 (intraday low) signaling caution. The 200-day MA at $180.08 remains a critical long-term support level.

Regulatory Relief Justified—Now Watch for $231.80 Breakout Alphabet’s legal victory has redefined its risk-reward profile, with the stock now trading at a 33% premium to its 200-day MA. The ruling’s immediate impact is clear: Google’s search and Android ecosystems are now insulated from structural penalties, validating Wedbush’s $245 price target. However, sustainability hinges on the stock holding above $231.80 (52-week high) and maintaining volume above 50M shares. Sector peers like Microsoft (-0.34%) highlight the importance of Alphabet’s unique catalyst. Watch for a breakdown below $225.12 or a regulatory reversal in Q4.<img src=https://cdn.ainvest.com/news/med-image/compress-1b3f2454e5d38002.png style="max-width: 100%;">
