#WISH Still moving inside the falling wedge. I am LONG!Hi All, my main 3 take-outs from this analysis are the following:
1- RSI and MACD showing bullish divergence in the daily chart
2- Price action is moving inside a falling wedge and I would expect a rebounce from these price levels today or tomorrow the latest, in order to see a recovering and a possible breakout of the falling wedge at around mid-January
3- Shrt term target is 9.40$ to close the daily gap, while my medium long term target is 15$

#BABA Possible another 10% drp to re-test historical trendlineHi All, my main 3 take-outs from this analysis are the following:
1- RSI in the weekly chart is in oversold territory with divergence vs prices
2- Price might re-test the historical trendline at around 100$, which is a 10-13% additional drop from current levels
3- Possible support at 100$ is also a psichological support level (rund number)
Not a financial advice, just personal opinion. Do your own due diligence and good luck!
WISH - Possible a rebounce today. 1H chart RSI oversoldHi All, my main 3 take-outs from this analysis are the following:
1- The hourly chart shows RSI in oversold territory with high chances of a rebounce
2- Price might be retesting the resistence at arund 4.60$ in the next days
3- Still valid the possibility of an upward breakout of the descending wedge shown in the daily chart
Not a financial advice, just personal opinion. Do your own due diligence and good luck!
WISH - Moving in a descending wedge, possibly breaking up soon..Hi Guys, WISH is moving inside a falling wedge in the daily chart. Two third of this wedge is approximately end of January (blue box) where the price might realistically break the red trendline of resistence and reach the 6$.
If this will happen, next price targets will be the 9$ gap filling and mostly the 15$ level, which represent the target given by the height of the same descending wedge.
In addition to this, MACD on the daily chart is showing a huge bullish divergence which makes pretty realistic an inversion in the upcoming weeks.
Not a financial advice, just personal opinion. Do your own due diligence and good luck!

WISH ContextLogic might have found a bottom.Hi All, my main 3 take-outs from this analysis are the following:
1- On June 8th 21 price broke the descending wedge resistence (daily chart) with huge volumes. Target for that move is 19.5$. Let's not forget about this
2- Price between 21 and 50 MA, going to probably test the 6.3$ static resistence
3- Bullish divergence between prices and RSI in the weekly chart
Not a financial advice, just personal opinion. Do your own due diligence and good luck!
SHOP - breaks all time highNice volume on the all time high break out and I see continuation to $1770, based on this rising weekly channel.
There was no news or option flow on friday, so up 12% out of nowhere! haha
If there is any back test, it would be the $1595 level, then upwards again.
NYKAA - Bumper ListingNykaa, the High Growth listed at whopping Gain of approx 86% yesterday.
Managed to close in green as well and upside momentum may continue for a few trading as well.
Those who played for listing gain and got lucky at the allotment, may book some profit or trail some with a stop loss below 2000 levels.
Currently, it is difficult to take fresh positions in the stock after a big listing gain, let the stock stabilize, keep it on the tracklist, any correction if seen in the stock, can be a good opportunity to invest in this high growth company.
WISH upside potentialWISH is now a shadow of the company that was rumored that Amazon offered $10 billion all-cash to buy it and Wish's CEO didn`t agree!
Now its value is 3.454Bil and two weeks ago it was even lower.
But the holidays are coming and all ecommerce platforms will benefit from that.
Except for Oppenheimer, who downgraded WISH to Underperform setting a price target of $4.00, the others are more optimistic: Citigroup gives a neutral rating with a price target of 7.5usd, while Credit Suisse Group targets 19usd per share.
My target is the 9.4 resistance by the end of the year.
i`m looking forward to read your opinion about it.
$PINS | WEEKLY WATCHLIST 10/25After absolutely CRUSHING it on Pinterest last week, I have an updated chart overlook for this week. Just to recap, we entered long last week at $54 on the break of the downtrend. $PINS soared up to $66 on the news that PayPal was in talks to acquire them, and we have since secured profits.
I believe that was only the beginning of the big picture, and we put in a solid wave 1 last week. Looking to start averaging into a swing position in my buy zone around $52.61-56. From there, we should see an impulsive wave 3 up to fill the rest of the daily gap taking us to $70+. Really love this setup, but remember to wait for confirmation and average into your swing position to help mitigate some risk!
$PINS | WEEKLY WATCHLIST 10/17Pinterest has been consolidating in a long drawn-out bull flag since February 2021. I believe we are nearing the end of this corrective phase and have developed a shorter term wedge indicated on the chart.
I am looking for a break above that wedge aka the $54 level to go long. Targets above are $58 and $61. It's important to note we have quite a large unfilled Daily gap above from roughly $61-70.

Broken Correlation Amazon/Alibaba, only an Evergrande thing?Alibaba is off the road...
looks like total crash, like Bayer after the Monsanto deal...
But Alibaba got no endless billion dollar legal proceedings!
Alibaba got a protected billionen chinese market plus a growing part of the world....
The problems with the allmighty Xi Jingping dont making so much noise...
The user data part is under political control, so the ecommerece part can go on
First thing I'm thinking about is the chinese real estate crisis.
But the correlation between Amazon and Alibaba disconnected in june... in My mind the Evergrande thing came to late.
Please let me hear your opinion... Im totaly new to this game. Its so amazing! :-D
Going Long, Its a temporary thing... Ali ist lower then march '20 and the world wont stop because of Evergrande or so...
Pinduoduo: Stellar Performance Reinforces Industry PositionChina's largest e-commerce company is transforming its development strategy.
Pinduoduo turned losses into gains in the second quarter of 2021, defending its leading position in the Chinese e-commerce area with 849.9 million annual active buyers.
Pinduoduo mainly focuses on lower-tier cities' customers and follows a 'universal social welfare' way to expand its business.
Agricultural products and reinforcing networks among farmers and customers may become the next profit points for the company.
Dazzling financial results
On August 24, 2021, Pinduoduo (PDD: NASDAQ) held it's Q2 2021 earning call, showing rather impressive financial results. Its stock surged over 20% at the beginning of that trading day.
Pinduoduo turned losses into gains for the first time in the second quarter of 2021. In Q2 2021, the company achieved revenue of CNY 23.05 billion, up 89% year-on-year. Its operating profit reached nearly CNY 2 billion (with non-GAAP operating profit of CNY 3.19 billion), compared with an operating loss of CNY 1.64 billion. In the remarkable quarter, the company received gains (net income attributable to ordinary shareholders) of CNY 2.41 billion, which is a big move compared with a net loss of CNY 0.90 billion in the same quarter of 2020. The company's basic earnings per ADS increased to USD 0.30, and diluted EPS reached USD 0.27. At the same time, its annual active buyers reached 849.9 million as of June 30, 2021, and average monthly active users (MAUs) increased to 738.5 million, accounting for 87% of its annual active buyers, defending its leading position in China's e-commerce area.
Analyzing the financials, we found that Pinduoduo's cost control contributes the most to the result. Due to increased promotion and coupon expenses, the company's sales and marketing expenses only increased 14% to CNY 10.39 billion. In comparison, general and administrative costs only increased 10% to CNY 0.43 billion, compared with the same quarter in 2020. Its operating margin and the net margin reached a historical high in the past three years, accounting for 8.7% and 17.9%, respectively. Notably, its sales and marketing expenses ratio has been cut to 45%, compared with 81% and 73% for the same quarter in 2019 and 2020, showing its consistent cost control efforts.
When dissecting its revenue structure, we found online marketing services still act as the primary resource of its revenue, which reached CNY 18.08 billion, up 64% year-on-year. According to the earnings call, this was due to the continued increase in merchant activities while merchants are exploring new ways to engage with users. Meanwhile, revenues from transaction services reached CNY 3.01 billion, surging 164% year-on-year, owing to the fulfillment and services provided in the new Duo Duo Grocery platform. As for the revenues from merchandise sales, as a temporary way to meet user demand for specific products, the income from this section was CNY 1.96 billion.
Agriculture may become the key to its future
As one of the fastest-growing e-commerce companies globally, Pinduoduo has focused on lower-tier markets' consumption demand, becoming famous for value-for-money goods. Consumers can purchase products at a lower price as a group on its merchandise platform. In this way, consumers are allowed to share feedback regarding products on their social media accounts, further amplifying the advertising influence of the company at the same time. Pinduoduo only needed two years to gain CNY 100 billion GMV (in contrast, Ali Group and JD used five and ten years, respectively). The company went public on Nasdaq in July 2018. Then in March 2021, it became China's most prominent e-commerce giant in terms of MAU.
The company is infamous for some of its products' poor quality. Even though most of them are cheap, the quality is often worse than it's desired by consumers. To resolve this issue, here are two solutions: the company could build a higher quality sub-platform, or a more 'universal-type social welfare' platform, with which it can gather profit from a broader population. Pinduoduo chose the second one. In April 2019, the company launched a critical transformation, building the Duo Duo Farms platform to help farmers in China's impoverished counties create new online sales channels. In traditional ways, farmers sell primary products to dealers, and dealers trade themselves. When customers purchase the product, the price has been increased much higher than its cost, which harms both farmers and customers. Then, when PDD becomes the mediator, it connects farmers directly with consumers across the country and applies customer-to-manufactory (C2M) to help them build their brands, forming a win-win situation. By the end of 2020, the platform has helped over 1.13 million farmers to sell over 2.06 million tons of agricultural produce.
We think Pinduoduo's transformation had a positive impact on its business operations. Before 2020, Pinduoduo had adopted a low-cost publicity model to convert the advertising fees payable to the media into rewards for users who introduce new customers. However, at this stage, we believe that since user numbers are gradually approaching the ceiling (as over half of the people in China are Pinduoduo's users), the model of wildly attracting new customers may no longer be suitable for the company and is difficult to bring profit growth. Facts have also confirmed our idea that the growth rate of the company's MAUs has been gradually slowing down since 2019. So Pinduoduo turned its developing direction to retain its users and add more value instead of attracting more users. Focusing on China's most prominent supply side is a good strategy – after all, it is a blue ocean with few competitions.
Hence, we are optimistic about the long-term development of Pinduoduo and believe that its agricultural focus might generate new opportunities.
Valuation and bottom line
We used EV/revenue and P/B ratio to value the company. Considering that the company has been able to turn losses into profits and its competitors have much lower ratios, we decided to use the adjusted historical average method. From the chart, it is obvious that the ratio is at a low level, which we think is mainly caused by the regulation changes in China recently. Based on its current financial performance, momentum, and competitive landscape, we calculated that 13.5x EV/revenue and 17.5x P/BV is an appropriate valuation for Pinduoduo in 12 months, which corresponds to a target price of USD 141.52.
Key risks
1. Pinduoduo's largest risk comes from possible conflicts with registered merchants. The company provides a favorable discount at the expense of downtrodden platform merchants. Besides, the merchants are the primary resources that benefit most of Pinduoduo's promotion activities. Small-scale merchants find it difficult to survive on this platform. In the long run, we think it will lead to the weakness of the supply side and harm the whole platform.
2. Another risk is that the problem of low-quality products still exists. Since the Pinduoduo platform has more razor-thin margins than other platforms, many merchants chose to sell defective goods in Pinduoduo while selling better goods on Tmall and JD.com. We think it is not conducive to the original impression transformation of the company in the long term.

Shopify $SHOP nearing pivot pointThe e-commerce giant is been behaving very well since its first breakout from the $1,290 resistance. Now is working its way to make a new ATH with higher lows and respecting its $1,500 support. To confirm the buy zone between $1,650 and $1,730, the MACD is making a buy signal with a bullish crossover. Also the relative strength of NYSE:SHOP against AMEX:ARKF is really good, it needs to breakout from the peanant patern it formed to be even better. I'd like to add that the IBD RS rating is 83, that means that its performance is in the top 83% of all stocks over the past year.
So, there are two ways to play this. One would be just to wait for the breakout from the $1,650 resistance or, to buy 1/2 of the position today and add the rest when that breakout happens. The bad thing for the second approach is that the buying volume for today is not that great. So, I'll wait for the closing price to see if its really worth to be agressive.

$JMIA Time to WatchJumia is an interesting stock and was a pennystock until they got new management while back. It has recovered, but now it's markcap shows it returning back into a pennystock. At current levels I see an opportunity that you may want to build a position.
News
-Missed on ER, but they have 600mil in cash
TA
-Since I been watching, Jumia has about a 7-8% downside to $17.66 which was resistance back in Aug-Nov 2020. Next point of interest is 28.07 bringing a 45% unside move.
-RSI is oversold leans bullish
-MACD is still bearish and leans more bearish
-Below the EMAs, which is bearish but could have an upside of 7% to try and turn bullish again.
-High vpvr levels at $22 area
Final Thoughts
Overall it's a stock I would buy on speculation, but I'm in ASTR atm so I'll be watching it closely while I look for another trade after I make my gains in ASTR. Jumia has major investors supporting it and its a bet on the African Economy, so maybe do some research on Africa of Covid19 and see how much is being impacted. For myself I don't hear anything about Africa on this matter, so its one piece of news I'm unknown on. Overall I told my friend before it crashed it would hit $50, but now with its MC below $2bil I think its a major steal with a massive upside protentional by years end and maybe the short term.
Make a $WISHTechnical:
The has recently been on a downward trajectory. A strong descending triangle pattern is forming. If the stock finds the strength to push through to the upside the stock could reach its previous stock price of the high 20s or low 30s. Good risk-reward to the downside as lower support is in the mid 7 range.
Fundamental:
E-commerce is the future. Powerhouses like Amazon have paved the way for the growth of the industry but there are new players in town. WISH has set up infrastructure to directly source products from China and other low-cost manufacturers. This makes them significantly cheaper than the alternative, a direct competitive advantage. Furthermore, the e-commerce industry is booming. COVID-19 has only accelerated the rapid pace of technological change as next-day delivery and contactless delivery become the standard.

Breakin Ranges on AMZN, can we expect a repetition?Today, we will speak about the current situation on AMZN
- The price has been trading inside a range from September 2020 until July 2021 where we observed a Breakout.
-Currently, we can see that the price re-entered the broken range. What can we expect from here?
KEY IDEAS:
-From a technical perspective, it's extremely common that after daily breakouts (structures with a duration higher than 100 days), we observe a throwback (or a retest). As you can see on the previous range, we saw the same sequence.
-It's commonly accepted that the target of broken ranges is at least the size of it on the broken direction (we can see some notes of this idea on Wykoff Theory). That is the minimum target that we should expect.
With all that clear, let's go to the interesting thing, what is our view on this?
IF the price breaks the descending trendline of the current throwback and reaches our green activation line, we will take that as a confirmation of the bullish movement towards the minimum target, of course. At those levels, you should be protecting your capital by moving your stop loss to the entry-level (that is what we do). From there, we want to let the price keep going up towards the final target at 4700
Let's speak about the stop loss and risk:
-IF the entry is executed, we always set our stop loss below the throwback, and we use a risk between 1% to 2%, never more.
-IF the entry is never executed and the price keeps falling, and we lose acceptable risk-reward ratios, we will cancel this idea.
-IF everything goes as expected, we think this movement can last 150 to 200 days
Thanks for reading!
