We meet again #stocksBABA hurt me on that huge gap down but I am willing to take another shot here with a stop below 210. If this trendline break marks the bottom, the stock could head back to the 280 area. FXI has been strong and KWEB so the stock may have some tailwinds. Not sure about the Jack Ma situation but it might not matter.
$BABA Bullish ScenarioA lot of News driving this one unfortunately so difficult to guess what could happen, but fundamentally this is probably one of the most undervalued Enterprise companies out there. Right now it's right at the long term rising trend line support and it touched and bounced off of previous resistance now support around 220. Previous two times it bounced back after going under Weekly 40 SMA and hopefully it does the same this time. Possibly ABCD pattern play but needs to clear VWAP from gap down at around 230 preferably on heavy volume. Would be nice to see RS line straightening and turning upwards as well. Could spend some more time at this support for RSI to hit Oversold area.
This is not an investment advice!!! I'm a beginner investor still learning! I like charts and charting so if you have any feedback I would appreciate it. Please keep polite and no sarcasm. Constructive criticism is more than welcome!
Traders of $BABA good luck!
BABA LOOKS ATTRACTIVE AT THESE LEVELSBaba is now at 2018 levels and looks very attractive.
I'll focus only on Ichimoku weekly.
The tenkan and kijun are acting as support for the lagging span.
The price has reached the top of the cloud, which is acting as support.
Not a bad place to enter a long term trade, with a stop loss at the low of the day.
$BABA back to 300?$BABA is currently sitting on a volume shelf. A break below, 243 and we could see 200s. However we seem to be coming out of a major downtrend that started in October. A break through that trendline after higher lows and some consolidation over the past few days and we could see that 275 gap fill and possibly a push to 290 to fill the biggest gap of all.
Long opportunity with little risk involved on $BABAWe finished a clean three wave zigzag which stopped around 123.6% fib extension. There has been lots of call flows into this name for a while and with the news about the China stocks on the board this seems like a risky play. Based on Elliot Wave theory I am long $BABA and keep adding to my position as long as we stay above the 0.786% retracement zone in the C-wave. Mental stop is somewhere around 260. My target would be at least 306 which offers a great risk to reward from here.
Alibaba (BABA): Dissecting the FUD, Fundamentals, and TechnicalsAlibaba Group is a Chinese multinational tech company specializing in e-commerce, and IT. This Chinese company is listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) as BABA. In this analysis, I’ll be covering the company’s fundamentals by looking at its business model and financials, as well as technical analysis for the stock. I’ll also be providing my own insight on why this stock has been rather underperforming for the past few weeks, and what we can expect for the future.
Business Model
- Alibaba, while it initially started with a focus on e-commerce, has expanded to other territories as well
- It aims to offer the necessary digital infrastructure as an e-commerce platform, providing small businesses the necessary tools and equipment to operate online.
- Alibaba also takes part in cloud computing, just like AWS and Azure, offering data storage, big data analysis, and machine learning services.
- Alibaba also has a business dedicated to digital media, producing original content
- Alibaba owns 33% of Ant Financial’s shares, which is what affected the price action so heavily recently
Ant Financial IPO FUD
- Ant Financial is a company that was formerly known as Alipay.
- Its expected market valuation after the dual listing was expected to reach over $310 billion, which would have significantly affected BABA’s price as well.
- However, the Chinese Communist Party halted the Initial Public Offering (IPO) of this company, without an official explanation.
- Ant Financial has transformed the way Chinese people interact with money. It challenged China’s banking system by brining easy use of payments, borrowing, and investing through smartphones across the entire country
- Ant Financial’s business model, in essence, puts financial services outside the direct control of the CCP and Chinese banks
Financials
- So at this point, we understand why Alibaba’s stock prices have been negatively affected by news.
- Looking at the company’s financials, we can discover that the firm’s fundamentals remain solid
- The company has shown a parabolic growth in their revenue since 2010, reaching record highs for the 2020 Estimate
- Accordingly, its operating income grows at a steady pace as well.
- Its gross profit margin averages at 55.5%, which is considered as extremely high profit margins
- They did report a decline in yoy EPS for the 12 months ending in September 30, 2020, and a 60% yoy decline in the EPS for the quarter ending at the same time.
- Nevertheless, it has still managed to beat the consensus EPS, and continues to demonstrate yoy growth
Technical Analysis
- This is the weekly chart for Alibaba
- We can see that it was consolidating in a rising wedge pattern, before breaking out in July 2020.
- Due to the Ant Financial IPO cancellation FUD (fear, uncertainty, and doubt), stock prices fell from $320 down to $255.
- Elliott Wave counts suggests a further potential downside to $220-230 levels, where it could complete the corrective wave at the gap support
- We can also see that prices have never broke down the 150 Simple Moving Average (SMA) on the weekly.
- This indicates that the converging point of the 150 SMA and the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement support at $200 could be considered our last line of support
- Thanks to the recent corrective move, however, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) has been flushed out to neutral levels, from overbought territories
- It seems as though the RSI could bounce on the trend line support soon
Conclusion
Alibaba is a solid company with strong fundamentals and financials, as well as a business model that expands throughout a wide range of areas. It has fallen victim to the restrictions imposed by the Chinese Communist Party recently, but it’s important to understand the role this company plays for the Chinese economy and the world economy. Companies like Alibaba are essentially too big to fall. There are attempts made by governments of various countries such as the US with big tech companies, and South Korea with Samsung Group, to regulate dominant firms. Regardless, none of them have actually succeeded besides a small correction in stock prices driven by FUD. As such, while technical analysis suggests further potential downside, I believe that investors should approach this stock from a buy perspective.

Critical Support - BABA LONGBABA is sitting at critical support.
I believe we have just finished the overall market correction and now there will be some pretty high volatility. I suspect bullish movements for the next 2-3 weeks before another potential correction or consolidation. If it does not bounce up tomorrow and falls below 267.20ish, then look to short or buy lower.
Overall, BABA is a great long term investment.
