On May 19, 2025, Alibaba’s stock declined 4% following reports that the U.S. government is scrutinizing its collaboration with Apple. The partnership involves integrating Alibaba’s AI into iPhones distributed in China. This development raised U.S. concerns over data privacy and the broader implications of China’s growing influence in AI, leading to increased investor uncertainty over Alibaba’s exposure and regulatory risk.
Technical Overview
-
The current weekly chart shows that $BABA-W(09988)$ $Alibaba(BABA)$ price is now parked at a key support zone around HK$118–120.
-
This level was previously a significant resistance in 2021, 2022, and 2023 and has now turned into a support, a classic role-reversal pattern in technical analysis.
-
A strong reaction from this level may indicate continued structural support, while a breakdown below could shift sentiment and reopen the downside.
-
The RSI remains above 50, suggesting the stock is still holding mid-range momentum but could weaken if support fails.
What Traders Should Watch
-
HK$118–120 is a critical level to monitor. Price action near this zone may dictate whether the current pullback is temporary or the start of a deeper correction.
Using DLCs for Short-Term Trading
-
Traders looking to participate in short-term movements can use Daily Leverage Certificates (DLCs) to gain leveraged exposure in either direction.
-
If price action shows stability and rebound from the HK$118 support, Long DLCs ( $Alibaba 5xLongSG251113(DKPW.SI)$ ) may see amplified gains.
-
Conversely, if price breaks below the support level, Short DLCs (e.g. $Alibaba 5xShortSG270309(Z7MW.SI)$ ) could benefit from further downside movement.
-
As DLCs are leveraged products, they are suitable for short-term trades but not ideal for long-term holding due to compounding effects and higher volatility exposure.
