Red day on Monday for Alibaba stock after losing 1.16%

The Alibaba stock price fell by -1.16% on the last day (Monday, 10th Jan 2022) from $129.81 to $128.30. During the day the stock fluctuated 5.05% from a day low at $126.23 to a day high of $132.60. The price has been going up and down for this period, and there has been a 10.04% gain for the last 2 weeks. Volume fell on the last day along with the stock, which is actually a good sign as volume should follow the stock. On the last day, the trading volume fell by -16 million shares and in total, 22 million shares were bought and sold for approximately $2.79 billion.

On Jan 07, 2022 "JPMorgan Chase & Co." gave "$210.00 - $180.00" rating for BABA. The price target was set to $129.91+2.6%.

The stock lies the upper part of a very wide and falling trend in the short term, and this may normally pose a very good selling opportunity for the short-term trader as reaction back towards the lower part of the trend can be expected. A break up at the top trend line at $128.72 will firstly indicate a slower falling rate, but may be the first sign of a trend shift.Given the current short-term trend, the stock is expected to fall -34.81% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $55.21 and $83.91 at the end of this 3-month period. Do note, that if the stock price manages to stay at current levels or higher, our prediction target will start to change positively over the next few days as the conditions for the current predictions will be broken.

The Alibaba stock holds buy signals from both short and long-term moving averages giving a positive forecast for the stock, but the stock has a general sell signal from the relation between the two signals where the long-term average is above the short-term average. On corrections down, there will be some support from the lines at $123.52 and $123.96. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals. A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Friday, December 03, 2021, and so far it has risen 14.59%. Further rise is indicated until a new top pivot has been found. Furthermore, there is a buy signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). Some negative signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. Volume fell together with the price during the last trading day and this reduces the overall risk as volume should follow the price movements.

Alibaba finds support from accumulated volume at $123.60 and this level may hold a buying opportunity as an upwards reaction can be expected when the support is being tested.

This stock has average movements during the day and with good trading volume, the risk is considered to be medium. During the last day, the stock moved $6.37 between high and low, or 5.05%. For the last week, the stock has had a daily average volatility of 5.09%.

Several short-term signals are positive, despite the stock being in a falling trend, we conclude that the current level may hold a buying opportunity as there is a fair chance for stock to perform well in the short-term.
