Because your google search result used chart from another exchange, possible some from your country.
You can check here, different exchanges have different BTC price.

That's probably the right answer.

Google uses the GDAX/Coinbase ticker to show the Bitcoin price. While at GDAX, we reached an all time high of $19k (almost $20k), some exchanges like Bitfinex couldn't even pass the $16k. The second chart is probably getting its price from one of those exchanges.
