Alibaba 4 hour Chart from 2/07/2019 update, in which the stock took the extension higher in wave (5) & completed the expanded Flat correction at $173.23 high. It's important to note that, we have adjusted the degree of the bounce slightly by downgrading it based on our distribution system. But the Overall Forecast remains the same. While bounces fail below $173.23 high the stock is expected to resume the downside based on incomplete sequence coming from 6/5/2018 peak with extra swing low in placed at 12/24/2018 low ($129.77) favors more downside, which we have explained in our previous article here. Below is the Daily Chart from 2/8/2019 showing an incomplete sequence from 6/5/2018 peak & extra swing low. If $173.23 high breaks, then we should still be in wave wave (5) of ((C)) of "x".
