Momentum remains on the side of technology giant Google (NASDAQ: GOOG) despite the large gains already made in 2013. Following a big post-earnings rally in mid-October, the stock consolidated and is forming a tight bullish wedge pattern. This offers traders another juicy long-side breakout trade.

The company reported third-quarter results after the close on Oct. 17, beating analysts' estimates on all fronts. Earnings per share (EPS) were up 19% to $10.74 from the same quarter a year ago, beating estimates of $10.34 by a good margin. Revenue was up 12% to $14.9 billion, slightly better than the consensus estimate. (more)
