META technical view and outlookWhen it comes to trading and investing in Meta Platforms for Q1 2025, the strategy is clear. Long-term, Meta is looking quite bullish. If the company nails cost efficiency and continues to advance in AI, 2025 could be another stellar year for them. But let’s not ignore the short-term volatility that might creep in.
Meta’s stock is currently riding high, trading above both the 50-day and 100-day moving averages. This trend certainly backs up the bullish vibe. Yet, since December 12, 2024, we’ve witnessed a significant selloff, partly because Mark Zuckerberg offloaded some shares to pocket some profits. This has kept Meta’s share price struggling around the $637 mark. In the near term, though, there’s a fair shot at the stock hitting $613, thanks to the positive sentiment surrounding it.
So, what’s the play here? For momentum traders, scoop up some shares on those weaker trading days. The share price might just tick up before the earnings report drops. Plus, Meta’s valuation is appealing — it’s trading at a P/E of 27.9x, which is below the average among its peers. As for the price-to-sales ratio, it seems fairly priced.
In summary, Meta could experience some short-term bullish momentum in January, making it an intriguing prospect for swing traders. Personally, I’m keeping Meta on hold in my portfolio.
