Such a spectacular result is due to the growth of cloud business and the domination of the online advertising industry, which has long functioned as a duopoly between Google and Facebook. According to an eMarketer report from May 2021, Google collected 27.5% of global net ad revenue in 2020, while Facebook collected 22.3%. Alphabet has become such a dominant force in internet advertising thanks to its online search engine.

Alphabet (GOOGL.US) stock pulled back from a fresh all-time high at $3011.65 after buyers failed to break above the upper limit of the ascending channel. If bearish momentum gains steam, then support at $2872.00 may be at risk. Source: xStation5
