Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached its target in 10 days.
The thesis — published September 22, 2025
Alibaba's recent rise is fueled by upbeat mood and a steady price climb, with lots more people buying than usual. On 9/22, reports said AliExpress is inviting Amazon brands to sell in Europe and Latin America with lower fees, boosting its push overseas. Near term the price looks a bit hot, so buying on dips is safer, and a move above 170 would show strength. Because it's a foreign listing with policy risks, treat it as a 0-3 month trade with tight loss limits.
Primary drivers
- AliExpress is moving into Europe and Latin America to add shoppers
- Price has been climbing steadily, and recent average price points upward
- Optimistic mood keeps buyers active and helps the uptrend persist
- Foreign listing and government policy risks mean careful position sizing
