The majority of stocks are off to a rough start in 2016, and after a positive initial market reaction briefly made Alphabet Inc GOOG the world’s largest public company, the stock is now down more than $100/share from its all-time highs earlier this week.

It’s not surprising that traders are watching these levels for any signs that Google will once again make a push for new all-time highs. Even Google bears likely see these levels as important selling opportunities if the stock attempts to retest resistance.

Although the selloff may be disheartening to Google bulls that anticipated more follow-through from the company’s strong Q4 earnings report, the selloff may simply be a case of healthy consolidation. Google has a history of trading in roughly $100 round-number ranges for extended periods of time before making a push higher. If the stock finds support at the $700 level, it may be an indication that Google will simply remain range-bound between $700 and $800 for the time being.
