As for Technical Analysis we have the following. Volatility is slightly higher than usual, but not to an extreme. An RSI value of 43 suggests that we are in bear mode but not oversold yet. The MACD suggests that we are in a bullish phase but not overbought yet. The 50 period SMA indicates that we are in a bear trend. Furthermore, We are well below the 100 period SMA, which suggests that we are oversold. Finally, the SMA(50) is below the SMA(100), a long term bearish confirmation. The ADX suggests that BABA is ranging.

Currently, BABA is well above the lower bound of the Kovach Reversals Indicator, at 169. This should provide support. The central moving average of the KRI will provide resistance at 178, if needed.
