Chinese tech name JD.Com Inc (NASDAQ:JD) was last seen down 0.4% to trade at $33.21 this afternoon, potentially suffering pre-earnings pullback as Wall Street gears up for the company's third-quarter report, slated for before the open tomorrow, Nov. 15. Below we will take a closer look at what the options market is pricing in for the stock's post-earnings moves, and see how JD has performed on the charts of late.

On the charts JD.Com has been climbing higher, up 58% year-to-date, with long term support stemming from the 200-day moving average. This trendline has captured multiple pullbacks for the equity since March, and most recently guided the stock higher in October, preceding Monday's annual high of $34.09.
