I wrote about BIDU's intraday action and signs of weakness yesterday after it came out with outlook and earnings that were not so impressive. BIDU's stock continued to suffer today with a big loss of 4.6% on heavy and above average volume.
So would BIDU continue to break down ?
The following daily chart shows BIDU at the bottom of a rising channel, If it does not bounce back, it could follow the red downtrend channel. Daily critical support and resistance are: $136, $130 and $119 areas. BIDU closed at $130.64, so it is stting on a critical support now.
Our trend indicator on the first pane shows BIDU has not reversed its trend yet, as indicated by an up yellow bar. And obviously it has been underperforming the market (red dots) since yesterday.
On the following intraday 1-hour chart, BIDU has reached oversold (white down bars on first pane) state and went below the downtrend channel drawn yesterday and is near the $130 support area.
The relative strength (the red dots) continues to go down. However, there were attempts to bounce back during the last three hours with three rising red dots. Another encourging sign is the last hour it closed above the middle of the bar.
The following price-volume action chart shows heavy and above average volume during the last three hours. The last hour's price/volume indicator (red dots) went down a little bit, signaling the possibility of a turning point. This is confirmed by the last hour's close above the middle of the bar.
In summary, on an intraday basis, it appears BIDU shows signs of attempting to bounce back. On a daily basis, it has not really reversed the up trend, although it is sitting at a critical support level.
