Technicals
Alibaba stock fell under pressure following last week’s earnings release and is seen trading near the halfway point measured from last month’s low to a high posted at the end of January. Strong support is seen near the psychological $180 price point as it confluences with the lower line of a rising trend channel as well as the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement of the leg higher from early December.

If you agree there's further upside ahead for Alibaba, consider this trade which is a bet that the stock will continue to advance over the next five weeks, or at least not decline very much.
Buy To Open BABA 9Mar18 177.50 Puts (BABA180309P177.5)
Sell To Open BABA 9Mar18 180 Puts (BABA180309P180) for a credit of $0.85 (selling a vertical)
This price was $0.02 less than the mid-point of the option spread when BABA was trading near $187. Unless the stock rallies quickly from here, you should be able to get close to this amount.
If you use our favorite broker for this trade, tastyworks, your commission on this trade will only be $1 per opening contract ($2 per spread) (and there is no commission on closing trades, only the $.10 clearing fee). Each contract would then yield $83 and your broker would charge a $250 maintenance fee, making your investment $167 ($250 – $83). If BABA closes at any price above $180.00 on March 9, both options would expire worthless, and your return on the spread would be 50% (567% annualized).
