$BABA-W(09988)$ saw a strong rally earlier, driven by renewed focus on Alibaba Cloud and AI initiatives, which helped reposition the company as a growth and technology story rather than just an e-commerce platform.

This shift in narrative pushed the share price to a high of around HKD 185 in Sep-Oct 2025.

However, since late October 2025, price has retraced and shown signs of weakening as momentum cooled.

Technical Overview of Alibaba

  • Overall trend: Alibaba is showing signs of an upturn, with price holding above its key moving averages, suggesting the broader structure remains constructive.

  • Trend support: Alibaba is currently being supported by its 20-, 50-, 100-, and 200-day moving averages, which are all clustered below the price.

  • This alignment suggests broad-based technical support across short-, medium-, and longer-term timeframes, reinforcing the ongoing upturn structure.

Momentum signal:

  • The MACD histogram shows a bullish divergence, where momentum improves even though prices traded lower.

  • This often suggests that selling pressure is easing and the probability of a stabilisation or recovery is increasing, though confirmation is still required from price action.

Key level to watch:

  • HKD 155 acts as an interim resistance. A sustained move and hold above this level may indicate stronger upside momentum, opening the door for a move toward higher levels. Higher resistance levels at HKD 175 and HKD 185.

  • Support level at HKD 142 which was also a previous high around March 202.

Risk note:

If price fails to hold above the moving averages or is rejected at resistance, near-term consolidation or pullback remains possible.

Using Structured Warrants for Short-Term Trading 

If the price breaks above HKD155 and shows upward momentum, call warrants (e.g. Alibaba MB eCW260505 ( $Alibaba MB eCW260505(WLWW.SI)$ )) (https://warrants.com.sg/tools/livematrix/WLWW ) may be relevant for expressing a bullish short-term view

If the price breaks below HKD142, put warrants (e.g. Alibaba MB ePW260303 ( $Alibaba MB ePW260303(IBBW.SI)$ )) (https://warrants.com.sg/tools/livematrix/IBBW ) may be relevant for expressing a bearish short-term view.

Structured warrants are short-term trading instruments that magnify both gains and losses; their value is affected by the underlying price, volatility, and time to expiry.

Note: The featured call or put warrant is one of the warrants quoted on tight spreads and high liquidity. They are also known as trending warrants.
