During the 'Lightning Round' segment of Mad Money Monday night, callers got to ask Jim Cramer about stocks that they are interested in. One caller asked Cramer about Baidu.com (BIDU) : "I just want the best. Stick with Alibaba Group Holding (BABA) ," was Cramer's response.
We
looked at BABA back on April 16 and we wrote, "Continue to hold longs that were previously recommended. Raise sell stops to a close below $190 now. The $233 area is our price target for now."
Let's check out the charts of BABA again.
In this updated daily bar chart of BABA, below, we can see that price recently pulled back to retest the rising 50-day moving average line. It looks like trading volume increased in recent days as the retest was made, and this gives us a sign that traders have been watching and acting on this indicator.
The daily On-Balance-Volume (OBV) line dipped in the second half of April and the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) oscillator has crossed to a take profits sell signal.
In this weekly bar chart of BABA, below, we can see some minor weakness as prices retest the rising 40-week moving average line.
The weekly OBV line is edging lower and the MACD oscillator is just above the zero line.
In this daily Point and Figure chart of BABA, below, we can see that the software is projecting a potential downside target of $186.
In this weekly Point and Figure chart of BABA, below, we see an upside price target in the $277 area.
Bottom line strategy: Continue to keep protective stops on a close below $190. $233 and then $277 are the upside price targets.
