Meta Platforms has been sliding, and some traders may expect further downside. The first pattern on today’s chart is the November 19 low of $581.25. The social-media stock sliced through that level on March 26 and has rebounded to stall around the same price. Could old support become new resistance? Second, the 8-day exponential moving average (EMA) is below the 21-day EMA. MACD is also falling. Those signals may reflect short-term bearishness. Third, prices have been trapped under the 100-day simple moving average. That may be consistent with the start of a longer-term downtrend. Next, traders may eye the 52-week low near $480 as a potential target. Finally, META is a highly active underlier in the options market. (Its average daily volume of 844,000 contracts ranks fourth in the S&P 500, according to TradeStation data.) That could help traders take positions with calls and puts.

I posted last week it was a buy ONLY FOR A SHORT TERM BOUNCE! And it rallied from $525 to $592, close the trade! It has a well defined head and shoulders and ALL the stocks I follow are well under their 200 DMA. Never ever go long other than scalping bounces stocks under their 200 DMA in a bear market in a bubble BS propped up money printing economy such as this one with a lifelong conman grifter at the helm. META was oversold on virtually all time frame charts as was many of the MAG 7 and spy stocks. It made them nice bounce trades, nothing more. Don't be fooled!!!

This is an update to my last idea: Meta is currently retesting old support, which is now acting as new resistance. If price rolls over from here it would be the perfect structural retest to set up a move toward the lower targets outlined in my last post. Two Things to Note: First, it is possible for Meta to rally slightly higher toward the solid white trendline before rolling over which would be the more extended retest level to watch before the downside move begins. Second, and this is an important conflicting signal, a 3D bullish divergence has formed on the chart. Price created a lower low while the 3D RSI simultaneously double bottomed at oversold conditions (green arrows). This is normally a powerful signal and adds complexity to the otherwise bearish retest setup. Depending on what Trump says tonight, if Meta is able to reclaim the solid white trendline with conviction, the downtrend could be over. For the time being, however, watch for a rollover and downside move from either the dotted white trendline at current levels or the solid white trendline above. Tonight's announcement will likely be the deciding factor.

Shares of Meta Platforms Inc. remain within a medium-term descending channel, as broader weakness in technology stocks continues to pressure the price. Earlier in February, Meta climbed toward 750.00, the upper boundary of the Murray trading range, but failed to break higher and entered a corrective phase. Last week, the stock reached 531.25, which now serves as a critical support level. ⸻ Bearish Trend Remains Dominant If price consolidates below 531.25, downside targets include: • 437.50 (Murray –2/8) • 375.00 (Monthly support zone) For bulls, the key resistance remains 625.00, reinforced by the middle Bollinger Band. A breakout above this level could trigger recovery toward: • 687.50 • 750.00 ⸻ Technical Indicators Signal Weakness Indicators confirm bearish pressure: • Bollinger Bands turning downward • MACD expanding in negative territory • Stochastic in oversold zone Weekly chart: • Downward Bollinger Bands • Bearish trend formation ➡️ Downside risk remains dominant ⸻ Key Levels Resistance • 625.00 • 687.50 • 750.00 Support • 531.25 • 437.50 • 375.00 ⸻ Trading Scenarios Bearish Scenario Sell below 531.25 • Entry: 531.20 • Targets: 437.50 → 375.00 • Stop-loss: 595.00 • Timeframe: 5–7 days ⸻ Bullish Scenario Buy above 625.00 • Entry: 625.05 • Targets: 687.50 → 750.00 • Stop-loss: 577.00 ⸻ Outlook Meta remains under pressure due to: • Weak tech sentiment • Bearish technical structure • Macro uncertainty • Break below 531.25 → further decline • Break above 625.00 → recovery Short-term outlook remains bearish.

Volume printed 32.9M shares with dollar volume at 18.82B, classifying as Strong on the Z-score at 1.91 — this is a genuine volume event, not a quiet drift. VolZ 1:5 reads 1.91 against -0.50 five bars ago, a +2.4 acceleration with single down arrow, meaning the spike has already peaked and is beginning to decelerate. The volume came in strong but the follow-through is the question. No futures data applies as this is an equity instrument. Signal count reads 36 green to 18 red out of 112, with 11 green to 3 red on close-versus-Tenkan — short-term momentum is recovering clearly. EMA trend sits at 1 green to 6 red, only the shortest timeframe has flipped bullish, the macro EMA structure remains fully bearish. Ichimoku TK at 4 green to 8 red confirms the intermediate and longer timeframes are still pointed down. Candle bias reads 13 green to 1 red, recent price action is almost entirely bullish. Supply-demand shows 8 demand zones to 3 supply, demand-heavy. Spread reads 16.8% Moderate, thin directional edge on the weighted score. Six Morning Stars with zero bearish star patterns and 1 bullish Harami — 7 total bullish candle patterns against zero bearish. That is the strongest clean candle pattern sweep of all charts reviewed today. Squeeze is None with BBW at 26.36% Expanding — the compression has already begun releasing, no coiled energy remaining. Vol Z at 1.91 Strong. VolZ 1:5 acceleration at +2.4 but already decelerating with the down arrow. Bull:Bear Z reads 2.99 to -0.78 Bull Dom — buying volume is running nearly 3 sigma above average while selling volume is below average. That is a clean one-sided institutional buy print. OBV Z at -1.51 with Inflow direction is the critical divergence on this panel. Price is bouncing with Strong volume and Bull Dom buying, yet OBV Z is sitting at -1.51 — deeply negative cumulative accumulation despite the recent inflow. This means the prior selling was so sustained and heavy that even this volume event has not recovered the OBV to neutral. The Inflow direction is correct but the depth of the OBV hole tells you distribution was systematic over many weeks. Price at 18.8% Floor of the 796.25 to 520.26 range, meaning META at 572.13 is near the bottom of its visible range. Retrace from prior structure high reads -15% Deep — the steepest retrace of any equity reviewed today. Bounce from the range low is only 10% at 0.7x Part, meaning the recovery ratio is below 1x and classified as Partial — price has moved off the floor but has not covered proportionate ground. Cascade reads Normal with 5-bar move at -3.5%, still slightly negative over the recent window. BBW at 26.36% Expanding means whatever squeeze energy existed has been released into this current candle. The honest read: META has the best candle pattern signal of today's equity batch — six Morning Stars across timeframes with zero bearish opposition and Bull Dom volume at nearly 3 sigma is an institutional accumulation print. The structural problems are significant though. OBV Z at -1.51 despite the strong inflow bar means the smart money distribution that created this -15% retrace was deep and systematic. One strong volume bar does not erase that hole. EMA stack at 1 of 14 timeframes bullish and Ichimoku at 4 to 8 bearish means the macro trend has not turned. The bounce is real, the buying is real, but 10% recovery at 0.7x partial ratio from an 18.8% floor with OBV still deeply negative means this is the first bar of a potential recovery, not a confirmed reversal. Waiting for OBV Z to cross above zero on a second strong volume bar would be the confirmation that the distribution overhang is clearing. Is That Crypto Pump Real? Data Says No. Here's Why.

After forming a significant top on August 15, 2025, at $796.25, META entered a multi‑month corrective phase. This decline unfolded as a double three Elliott Wave structure, reflecting a complex corrective pattern. From the August peak, wave w concluded at $580.32, followed by wave x at $744. The subsequent wave y subdivided into a zigzag formation. Within this sequence, wave ((W)) ended at $628.14, wave ((X)) at $672.75, and wave ((Y)) at $519.18, as illustrated in the thirty‑minute chart. This completed wave (II) at a higher degree, establishing a critical low. From that point, the stock began a new upward cycle in wave (III). Rising from wave (II), wave 1 terminated at $539.55, while the corrective pullback in wave 2 concluded at $531.85. The structure now anticipates further advances to complete waves 3, 4, and 5, which will finalize wave (1) of the higher degree. Afterward, META should experience a corrective phase in wave (2), retracing the cycle from the March 28 low in either three or seven swings before resuming its broader ascent. In the near term, the pivot at $519.18 remains decisive. As long as this level holds, dips are expected to find support in three, seven, or eleven swing sequences. The technical framework suggests that the correction has matured, and the stock is positioned for continued strength.

I have plotted an elliott wave count for META showing wave 1 recently completing an ending diagonal pattern and what seems like a lower degree wave 2 of the wave C leg (Expanding Flat). It may surprise us with an unexpected bullish roar back to life, if this happens 5 waves down in wave C is already complete but this failed to break the low of wave A, making this the running flat variant. I have plotted this on the chart as well although i expect wave 2 to take more time and price than this

META Long Setup — 15m SMC ParameterValueSideLongEntry$537.18 (ORB high break)Stop Loss$531.00 (below ORB low / demand zone)TP1$544.00 (supply zone lower bound)TP2$548.00 (supply zone upper bound)Risk$6.18/shareR:R (TP1)~1.1:1R:R (TP2)~1.75:1 Reasoning: CHoCH confirmed bullish on 15m. Price reclaimed ORB high area. Demand zone ~$531 holding. Next draw on liquidity is the $544-548 supply block from the Mar 27 selloff. Position sizing note: At $6.18 risk per share, size according to your max loss tolerance. Not financial advice — just reading what the chart is printing.

META has shown multiple signals along the way (circle in orange) that 481 is the target for this ABC correction. I am expecting 1 more move down this week to major support at 481 for a double bottom before recovering to 555, 601, 638, and possibly 676 over the next year.

I noticed something on the charts. META’s weekly structure looks like a completed bullish expansion followed by distribution. The green bullish path already did its job by pushing into the upper ABC target zone. After that, price failed to hold acceptance in premium and rolled over. That matters. Once a target is delivered and the market cannot sustain above that distribution box, the odds shift from continuation to re-pricing lower. Now the red bearish ABC is the structure to respect. A printed the reaction low. B retraced back into premium but failed to reclaim the highs. And now price is breaking down again. That keeps the bearish sequence intact unless price can invalidate that B high and reclaim the broken weekly zone. Until then, this does not look like a healthy dip. It looks like markdown. The main draw is the lower weekly WCL. So the bigger idea here is simple: upper target delivered rejection confirmed bearish sequence active lower WCL now in play The zone I’m watching sits roughly inside the 320–400 area, with the deeper ABC objective nested inside that weekly demand box. If price keeps accepting below the current breakdown area, that lower box becomes the magnet. What makes this chart even more interesting is the contrast: Meta reported Q4 2025 revenue of $59.9B, up 24% year over year, and full-year 2025 revenue of $201.0B, up 22% year over year. Yet as of March 30, 2026, the stock was trading at $525.72. Strong business performance does not automatically mean strong structure. Price can still reprice lower when the chart says distribution is in control. For bulls, the burden of proof is clear: reclaim the weekly breakdown zone and invalidate the bearish B. For bears, the cleaner approach is not panic-selling the hole. It is letting retracements expose weakness, then watching for continuation into the WCL. Bias first. Structure second. Narrative last. Not financial advice.
