GOOG – Google (Last:769.71)

Unlike Apple, Google barely flinched last week as the broad averages came down. A 773.69 rally target remains in effect if and when the stock takes flight again. From a camouflage standpoint, the best potential buying opportunity I can find on the lesser charts would use a ‘timed buy-stop’ on a fleeting pullback from just above the 757.99 peak shown. _______ UPDATE (October 5, 1:29 p.m. EDT): The stock gapped on the opening to a so-far high this morning of 774.38, achieving our target with 69 cents to spare.  That could be it for a while, but longs who caught a piece of the $14 rally should be on the sidelines now.  FYI, using the 3-minute chart there was an easy-as-pie ‘camouflage’ short from 772.92. It came on the 9:03 a.m. bar from the pattern a=774.29 (10:39 a.m.), b=772.00 (10:52 a.m.) and c=773.50 (11:00 a.m.)  All three coordinates are single-bar, with an impulse leg that breached the required internal and external lows.
