Hello, this is Greedy All-Day.
I’ve revamped my charting style to stand out from the crowd.
Let’s dive into today’s analysis, focusing on Alibaba (BABA).

Weekly Chart Overview
Chart Link: snapshot

Looking at Alibaba’s weekly chart, its history is relatively short, dating back to 2014. The price action highlights distinct supply and demand zones:

Blue and Red Boxes: These zones reflect similar supply ranges, spanning approximately $58 to $125. The price has historically oscillated within this range, providing up to 120% movements from the lows.

Orange Box: This zone formed after a breakout from previous ranges during a strong upward rally. While minor supply zones were created during the rally, the subsequent downtrend exhibited a one-way decline, consolidating the entire range into a single supply zone.
Range: $138 to $318, representing roughly 130% from the lower boundary.

Long-Term Resistance Trendline

Plotting Alibaba’s long-term descending resistance trendline reveals key insights:

Recent Rejection: Alibaba encountered resistance at this trendline in late September 2024, leading to a 30% correction from its peak.
Red Box Supply Zone: The price is now trading below the weekly 20 EMA and 60 EMA, with a potential death cross forming.
Downward Potential: Should this bearish setup play out, the price could decline toward the support zone near the Yellow Box, around $75.

When to Buy Alibaba?

Identifying optimal buy zones for Alibaba:

If the Price Declines Further:
First Buy Zone: Yellow Box ($75)

This zone aligns with the ascending trendline established since October 2022.
The pattern resembles a pennant, suggesting a potential rebound from this area as the trendline provides support.

Second Buy Zone: Green Box ($58)

This level represents a historical low, with prior rebounds of up to 110%.
Should the price revisit this area, it would present a strong buying opportunity.
Below $58

If the price falls below $58, the downside is highly uncertain, and further declines are unpredictable. In such a scenario, cautious observation is advised.

If the Price Rises:
First Entry: Breakout of the Red Box Resistance Trendline

Based on the current trajectory, a breakout above this descending trendline may not occur until 2026, given the prolonged consolidation phase.

Second Entry: Breakout Above $103

This level aligns with historical resistance from the Orange Box.
A breakout here could yield a potential 20% gain, targeting the upper boundary of the supply zone near $126.

Third Entry: Sustained Breakout Above $125–$138

Breaking above this range would signal a recovery, opening the door for a potential rally toward previous highs.

Conclusion

Alibaba’s stock presents a unique mix of opportunities and risks:

Bearish Outlook: The stock is currently in a downtrend, trading below key moving averages, with further declines likely if the $75 support fails.
Bullish Outlook: Strategic buy levels at $75 and $58 offer strong opportunities for long-term investors, while breakouts above $103 and $138 provide momentum-driven trade setups.
Patience is key when navigating Alibaba’s volatile price action. Let’s trade smart and stay prepared for both opportunities and risks. 🚀
