Alibaba Group Holding Ltd (NYSE: BABA) shares were trading lower by $2.81 (3 percent) at $87.19 in Thursday's session. This comes just a week after its earnings beatdown on January 29, falling from $98.45 to as low as $87.36 before rebounding to end the session at $89.81.

The following four days it found major resistance near the $92.00 level, peaking between $91.65 and $92.00 in four consecutive sessions. It appeared to be clinging to the $90.00 level on a closing basis, as it posted three consecutive closes between $90.00 and $90.61, Monday through Wednesday.

The consolidation period has been resolved to the downside in Thursday's session. After a lower open, it continued to move in that direction, breaching the former low of the move ($87.36), falling to $86.10 before rebounding back above $87.00.

During the Ebola induced selloff in the market back in October, the issue made three consecutive lows between $82.81 and $84.02.
