Why bulls love a stock when they fill the Gap

Concept:

When a stock creates a big Gap and moves up, it does pull back at a later stage to fill that Gap. Once the Gap is filled, the stock resumes the upmove.

Case Study: Alibaba Holding

I covered Alibaba stock in Dec 2016 and early Jan 2017

Alibaba stock is at very attractive support levels:

The stock remained at the level for quite some time. This was the state of the chart on January 02 2017. I covered the same here

Here’s what BABA stock has done since then:

BABA stock is up 100%. Gap-up is a Value Recognition and when stocks fill the gap – it’s seen as Value buying Opportunity

New Opportunity: JD.com Value buy

Why the Chinese https://t.co/tuZl2TbKqR stock looks attractive?
