BABA weekly chart make or breakOn the weekly chart, BABA is currently forming a bullish reversal pattern known as an inverted head and shoulders. However, it is also at a critical support level that needs to hold if the bulls want to continue the uptrend. The $85-$89 range has been a strong support and resistance area in the past and needs to act as support now to propel BABA higher. On the bearish side, the January high was a lower high, which could be interpreted as a bear pullback with targets around the previous low or even lower.
Furthermore, the increasing volume on the last week's big drop is more bearish than bullish, and the price is below all major moving averages, indicating a bearish trend.
Although the RSI has cooled down and is ready to go up again, the MACD green ticks are ticking lower while the MACD line is turning, and it seems to be on the verge of crossing below the signal line.
Overall: BABA is in a situation where the bulls need to step in, or the stock will experience further pain in the coming weeks or months. The price is currently at a crucial support level, and it needs to hold to initiate an uptrend and possibly trigger the inverted head and shoulders pattern. If the price breaks above the January high, it would confirm the pattern as there is a neckline.
However, if buyers do not step in and sellers continue to sell, the stock will experience a bearish pullback, and it may drop to lower levels. Additionally, $60 is a significant low from 2015, 2016, and 2023, and it should act as a support level. If this level does not hold, BABA may test the all-time low (ATL).
