Best Risk vs. Reward Short Trade Setup On Alphabet $GOOGL

Shares of Alphabet (GOOGL) are surging again as best of breed technology stocks are the 'in' thing. Every investor wants some, no matter the price. I am sitting back, allowing the average investor to pile in until Alphabet hits $1,181.50. Why this level? It offers the best technical setup trade short, with the smallest risk to biggest reward. Let me explain... The $1,181.50 level is a major gap fill, unfilled at this point. In addition, it is within 1% of the all-time high which is also a double top. This gives added resistance and adds to the short trade chance of success. Now that we have a technical trade level, let's look at the risk versus reward. First, the reward would be a fall with days to $1,120, with a second target over the following month to $1,000. The risk to the trade is tiny as any confirmation above the all-time high of $1,198 would stop you out. So in reality, the reward is $61 - $180 while the risk is a tiny $16.50. That is the type of trade worth taking in my humble opinion.
