Google stock still trading in a sideway between the MM200 and MM50 , I think Market participants are pretty confused right now in this stock so it's best to be cautious now, because I don't see much volume for both sides and decreasing sequentially. MACD is a little bullish but it's losing the strength.

This Job report was much weaker than the 170.000 jobs that economists were forecasting. Also on Thursday was reported that the Manufacturing activity and the consumer confidence lost a bit of momentum, so in conclusion we start to see some indications of a slowdown in the economy and we're probably going to see more volatility in this market.
