Baidu is forming a wedge pattern on its weekly chart, and with earnings coming out on April 27th, right now seems to be an inflection point in the change of the price of BIDU. If earnings come out great, beating expectations, one may see BIDU's stock surge out of its wedge resistance price of $187, during that point, I would put in a long position with a stop right below the new support line which was the previous wedge resistance.
However, if BIDU disappoints in earnings, BIDU might just as easily drop below it's wedge support level of $165. If that is the case, I would probably look to take a short position, with the stop loss being right above the 200 MA price of $175.
Whichever way it moves, I want to be on the right side of the trend. If I had to wager on which side it would be, I would choose the long side. BIDU is a tremendous company with an extremely wide moat. Considered by many to be the Google of China, BIDU has little if any competition with it. The financials look solid and the returns on assets, equity, and capital remain above 10%.
All the best,
