Coupang CPNG is the first marketplace and largest online retailer in South Korea. The stock price has rallied since early February and is knocking on new 52-week highs.

Let's check out the charts.

In this daily bar chart of CPNG below, I can see that prices are trading above the bottoming 50-day moving average line and above the rising 200-day line. The trading volume was very active from February to May when CPNG rallied strongly. The On-Balance-Volume (OBV) line has been strong since February. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) oscillator is in a bullish alignment above the zero line.

In this weekly Japanese candlestick chart of CPNG below, I can see a well-developed base pattern. CPNG has made higher lows since early 2022. Prices trade above the rising 40-week moving average line. The weekly OBV line has been a choppy affair but shows strength from March of this year. The MACD oscillator is above the zero line and in a bullish setup.

In this daily Point and Figure chart of CPNG, I can see an upside price target in the $30 area. A trade at $24 will refresh the uptrend.

In this weekly Point and Figure chart of CPNG below, I used a five-box reversal filter. Here, the software suggests a price target in the $45 area.

Bottom line strategy: Traders and investors could go long CPNG at current levels risking to $20.50. $30 and then $45 are my upside price targets.
