Baidu Price Action
Baidu’s stock price reached its peak at $182.52 on 20 October 2021, the high price encouraged bears to insert short positions and as a result they pushed Baidu to lower level.
The formation of the Japanese candlestick reversal pattern known as Evening Star signalled the very beginning of Baidu’s journey down south.
In a wider perspective, the price chart has formed a Failure Swing: Top pattern, which hinted at the end of the rally and the potential beginning of a decline.
Upon applying Technical analysis on the price chart, one can see that the price managed to close below the 50-period Simple Moving Average line, a fact that also points to the downward direction and the bearish bias in the market.
Meanwhile, Baidu’s current price has breached below the upward trend line, due to high concentration of supply.
Additionally, the Relative Strength Index Oscillator stays below the fifty line, which also indicates the negative sentiment in the market.
Both price action on the chart, as well as the indicator, are in agreement in terms of Baidu’s downward bias.
