Baidu’s stock price is moving higher on news out of China. Will Baidu’s stock (BIDU) continue higher? Or should active investors be cautious here?
On Sunday, the People’s Bank of China announced they would use reverse repurchase agreements to inject 1.2T yuan ($173B) into the economy to ensure ample liquidity is in the system.
The net impact after accounting for maturing short-term funds is around 150B yuan according to calculations from Bloomberg.
This sent stocks higher, including Baidu (BIDU).
Let’s see what the charts tell us.

askSlim Technical Briefing: The weekly cycle analysis suggests that BIDU is in an intermediate-term positive pattern and due for a short-term correction. Weekly momentum is negative.
On the upside, there is an intermediate-term Fibonacci projection/target zone from 161.70 – 166.35. On the downside, there is an intermediate-term Fibonacci support zone from 120.39 – 114.01 followed by a lower Fibonacci support at 104.94. Our analysis suggests that for the bears to regain control of the intermediate-term, we would likely need to see a weekly close below 104.94.
askSlim Sum of the Evidence: BIDU has a positive intermediate-term cycle pattern with negative momentum. Given these conditions, we would expect any downside to be limited to the intermediate-term Fibonacci supports beginning at 120.39.
