BABA Pre-Earnings Bullish Setup With 3-to-1 Options Flow Dominance

Conviction: 60% · Horizon: 1M · 2026-08-23

BABA Options Flow Skewed 3-to-1 Bullish Into Earnings With Constructive Technical Setup

Alibaba heads into earnings with bullish options premium outpacing bearish 3-to-1 over the past 45 days and recent flows continuing to lean bullish. Despite heavy hedging, call selling around $130, and a significant long-dated put position signaling downside protection, the setup is constructive. Technically, $120 is critical support and a break above $134 could trigger a momentum-driven acceleration.

Instrument	Side	Target	Reason
BABA	Long	134	Bullish options premium leads bearish 3-to-1 over 45 days with recent flows maintaining the skew. The $120 level holds as firm technical support while a breakout above $134 would unlock meaningful momentum-driven upside. Earnings event risk is present but the options positioning strongly favors bulls on the pre-earnings setup.
