The Direxion Daily GOOGL Bull 1.5X Shares (GGLL) closed at $45.83 on December 19, marking a slight increase of 0.07% as Alphabet Inc. (GOOGL) experienced a 1.1% rise in its stock price. This uptick was primarily driven by JPMorgan Chase & Co.'s decision to raise their price target for Alphabet from $212.00 to $232.00, maintaining an overweight rating on the stock. The positive sentiment was further bolstered by Alphabet's advancements in quantum computing, particularly the development of the "Willow" chip, which has propelled the stock over 30% from its September low.
