BABA: Bears target 48.96?

Just like a few weeks ago, a bearish trend continues to form for BABA.

BABA

On the current chart, we can notice the completed actionary wave y and the second small intervening wave x, they are double zigzags.

At the moment, the formation of the final actionary wave z is taking place, which, most likely, will take the form of a primary zigzag Ⓐ-Ⓑ-Ⓒ.

Perhaps the primary impulse Ⓐ and correction Ⓑ have already been completed, so we can expect a decline to 48.96 in the sub-wave Ⓒ. At the specified mark, wave z will be at 38.2% of wave y.

However, we can expect the continuation of the intervening wave x. According to this view, it will take the form of a double zigzag of the primary degree Ⓦ-Ⓧ-Ⓨ. The first two zigzag sub-waves Ⓦ-Ⓧ look finished.

Most likely, the market is in a wave Ⓨ, which may take a zigzag structure of the intermediate degree (A)-(B)-(C), as shown in the chart. Impulse (A) and correction (B) look formed.

Stock prices may continue to rise to 140.99. At that level, cycle intervening wave x will be at 38.2% of actionary wave y.
