First, multiple institutions have downgraded ratings, target prices, or future earnings forecasts. He pointed out that historically, stocks that have experienced concentrated downgrades tend to underperform the market or trade sideways in the following 30 days, and institutional rebalancing can also limit upward momentum. Second, the gap down after the earnings report further damaged the technical pattern.In terms of technical indicators, Alphabet's RSI has dropped to just over 20, and the MACD sell signal has strengthened. However, Khouw believes that with the stock price close to the 52-week low of $270.70, combined with an extremely oversold condition, further declines may be limited.In terms of trading strategy, Khouw suggested using a sell wide strangle options strategy to cope with the anticipated range-bound fluctuations. He believes that continued selling in the overall market poses the main downside risk, while unexpected positive news driving the stock price up rapidly could threaten the bullish call option selling side of the strategy.
