World Bank Cuts Global Growth Forecast to 2.5%, Warns of Decline to 1.3% Due to War

GOOGL shares fell 4.9% in the last close, with the RSI dropping to 28, entering oversold territory. The MACD is below the signal line and in negative territory, indicating weak short-term momentum. Trading below the 20- and 50-day moving averages further darkens the technical outlook. The World Bank's downward revision of its growth forecast and war warnings have increased global economic uncertainty, potentially pressuring tech stocks. However, the oversold condition also raises the possibility of a short-term bounce, so while the downtrend is strong, a sharp decline is not expected.

The World Bank's downgrade of its global growth forecast and warning of further decline due to the impact of war could reduce risk appetite in markets. Although the RSI on the S&P 500 (SPX) is approaching oversold territory at 34.6, the MACD remaining below its signal line and in negative territory suggests that short-term pressure may persist. The price trading below its 20- and 50-day moving averages weakens the technical outlook. Selling pressure may continue for some time due to the negative impact of the news, but the pace of decline could be limited given the oversold conditions.

The World Bank's downward revision of its growth forecast could negatively impact risk appetite and put pressure on the technology-heavy NDX. Technical indicators also point to weakness: the RSI at 41 is below the neutral zone, and while the MACD is below zero but above its signal line, momentum remains weak. The price is trading below the 20- and 50-day moving averages, confirming a short-term downtrend. The 1.1% decline over the past 24 hours indicates continued selling pressure. However, the absence of oversold conditions and the possibility that the macro news may already be partially priced in limit the downside expectation.
