Market Focus10-23 10:02

On October 23, Alibaba fell 3.34% Overnight, trading at $98.31/share, with turnover of $11.55 million.

The move was accompanied by a large options trade: a same-direction double Put purchase worth nearly $20 million, with block activity concentrated in bought in-the-money Puts, signaling a sharp rise in downside positioning and demand for protection.

Background pressure had already been building after forecasts indicated September national online retail goods GMV growth slowed to 0.1% year over year, down from 2.2% in August, while third-quarter online GMV and parcel volume growth estimates were cut to about 2% and 3%. Alibaba's Hong Kong shares also fell through HK$100 and northbound-linked funds reportedly sold nearly HK$1.7 billion of the stock, reinforcing cautious sentiment around its core e-commerce outlook.
