Alphabet shot up on earnings; my analysis was a bullish pattern, can one do anything during after-market hours?

In my earlier post on $Alphabet(GOOGL)$ $Alphabet(GOOG)$ , I noted a bullish inverted head and shoulders pattern, which often signals a potential upward move.

With strong earnings and Google Cloud beating sales estimates, Alphabet shares rose 5% after hours. Today, as of this post, the stock is trading around $179.30 during Asia hours.

If a trader had entered a long position in the DLC $ALPHAB 3xLongSG261006(USJW.SI)$ at the time of my previous post, the average DLC price was around $4.46.

Following the post-earnings price gap up, the DLC is now trading at $5.42, representing a 21% profit. Likewise, if the stock price declines, the trader would incur a loss. However, the maximum loss on a DLC is limited to the amount initially invested. For instance, a $1,000 investment would carry a maximum potential loss of $1,000 (excluding additional fees like commissions).

Now, you might ask about my current resistance levels for Alphabet. I hold both short- and long-term perspectives.

For short-term trading, resistance is now set between $181 and $184. A breakout above $184 could potentially see the next resistance level at $208.
