A symmetrical triangle pattern has emerged in the chart of Alibaba Group Holding (BABA).

Alibaba Group Holding (BABA - Get Rating) is the world’s largest online and mobile commerce company. It operates China’s most-visited online marketplaces, including Taobao and Tmall. The company continues to see strong growth in e-commerce, and its strengthening cloud business will be an additional tailwind going forward.

Take a look at the 1-year chart of BABA below with my added notations:

(BABA - Get Rating)

As you can see, a symmetrical triangle chart pattern has formed in BABA. There is trendline resistance converging with trendline support, which forms the triangle pattern (blue).

A trader could enter a long position on a break above the trendline resistance or a short trade if/when it falls below the trendline support.

(BABA is one of the stocks currently in Steve Reitmeister’s Total Return portfolio. Learn more here.)

Keep an eye out tomorrow, Thursday 8/20/20,  morning before the opening bell, as BABA will report its latest quarterly financial results.
