META short gap fill idea $474-78Dowsing (not technicals) give me a heads up to watch META and suggest a "spike down and reverse up". I did have a little intuitive hit this weekend that markets might have a decent move down on Tuesday. Anyway, I check for targets and it's in the zone of the gap fill, funny enough.
I'd be looking long around this area as much as I'd be looking for a short term short now.
I ask what to tell anyone who reads this and it says, "bear trap". We'll see!
META trade ideas
Meta Madness: Big Crash or Further Surge After the Mega Rise?Meta is a particularly intriguing stock that experienced a significant selloff at the end of 2021, with an overall pullback of 77%. Since then, however, we've witnessed an extraordinarily robust surge of 444%, which is remarkably strong. Yet, this rise came without any interim corrections, raising questions about when such a correction might occur. We've concluded our Wave I in September 2020 and have since formed an ABC correction, ending Wave II at $88.41. Following this, we've seen a rise to, and here's where it gets interesting, two possible scenarios: either an overshooting Wave (B)—note that this would mean Wave 1 isn't where it currently is, but rather at the Wave (B) level of $384. If Wave (B) precisely hits 138% at $496, which we've exactly reached without exceeding, this is where our concern lies. We'd like to see Meta invalidate this scenario by surpassing the $496 mark for a larger pullback to occur. Primarily, however, we're inclined to believe that we're heading into a Wave (2) correction, expected to lie between 50 and 78.6%, that is, between $288 and $174. Following this, the trajectory for Meta is anticipated to climb significantly, but this remains a scenario for the distant future.
META 4HR CHARTAm I the only one who has noticed this channel META has been trading in? I mean technically this is an uptrend, and asset prices do trend. I will say it's struggling to stay above the 500 plus range. It got above it a few times, but not for long. So what happens here? Do we continue to trend up and eventually breakout, or do you see Meta give back these gains from when they introduced the dividend. That large candlestick is a gap on the daily chart down to 406.
EU Launches Probe Into Meta, Apple and GoogleIn a landmark move under the newly enacted Digital Markets Act (DMA), the European Union has initiated a comprehensive investigation into tech behemoths Apple, Alphabet (Google's parent company), and Meta (formerly Facebook). The probe, which marks the EU's first under the DMA, aims to scrutinize potential anti-competitive practices and ensure fair competition within the digital ecosystem.
The investigation, announced on Monday, encompasses a range of issues spanning from Apple's App Store policies to Google's search engine practices and Meta's advertising model. At the core of the probe are concerns regarding anti-steering rules, self-preferencing, and the implications of Meta's "pay or consent" model on user privacy and choice.
Apple and Alphabet, in particular, face scrutiny over their implementation of anti-steering rules, which prevent businesses from informing users about cheaper alternatives outside of their app stores. This investigation underscores the EU's commitment to fostering a level playing field for businesses and consumers alike, amidst growing concerns about the dominance of tech giants in shaping digital markets.
Notably, Apple's recent run-ins with the EU, including a hefty 1.8 billion euro fine for anti-competitive practices related to music subscription services, underscore the regulatory pressure facing tech giants operating within the European market. The probe into Apple's App Store policies and Safari browser further highlights the EU's focus on ensuring user choice and fair competition within the iOS ecosystem.
Meanwhile, Alphabet faces scrutiny over potential self-preferencing in Google search results, raising questions about the company's adherence to fair competition principles. With the EU probing whether Google's display of search results favors its own services over rivals', the investigation sheds light on the complex dynamics of digital markets and the challenges of regulating tech giants with vast influence over online ecosystems.
In the case of Meta, the investigation centers on the company's ad-free subscription model and its impact on user consent and data privacy. The EU's scrutiny of Meta's "pay or consent" model reflects broader concerns about the accumulation of personal data by tech gatekeepers and the need to provide users with meaningful alternatives.
As the EU's investigations unfold, tech giants are bracing for potential fines of up to 10% of their total worldwide turnover, highlighting the significant financial implications of regulatory non-compliance. Moreover, the probes underscore the evolving regulatory landscape facing tech companies, as policymakers seek to address concerns about market concentration, data privacy, and consumer welfare in the digital age.
META could fall from ATH SHORTMETA on the weekly chart is at the ATH which is as a consequence at the third upper VWAP line.
The RSI indicator shows the faster line crossing under the slower line. The relative trend
index has topped out. Both represent bearish divergence. META makes its money with
advertising dollars for revenue. There are increasing challengers to split revenues that could
go down if a recession happens. Other headwinds are the federal regulatory blaming META
for issues such as foreign interference in our elections, or child molestors floating on
the platform without adequate protections for minor or collusion in a monopoly with other
high flying targets. I find this to be a good juncture to take a short trade in META on a swing
looking for it to last until the next earnings period.
Short Meta updateThe recent top is our first pivot point, we will anchor short entries below the 472 level with target 1 at the previous top 384. This is the first test trade against a pivot top and a tight stop range should be set.
There is a massive short coming which will be a steep fall, a crash fractal unless the cycle alters in an unlikely event.
Trade safe, stay connected..... good luck

META - Updated analysis after nailing our 20 point shortIf you caught the move down utilizing my last video, bravo. We knew what to look out for and why we were expecting that move.
Moving forward, we do have a bullish bias considering the strong recovery off of yellow support however we are going to need green and blue tapered selling to continue to build liquidity for a larger breakout. We can see massive liquidity built in our left shoulder for a potential grab of liquidity and confirmation of an inverse H&S.
For immediate price action, we do need to see our orange strong buying continue to carry price - and if magenta more tapered is what is holding us up, we do expect a retest of the bottom of our green and blue tapered selling algos. This, although short term would be bearish, would be great for bulls to utilize for a larger breakout upward.
Keep an eye out for those levels to act as support and reactivate our strong orange buying.
Happy Trading :)

META: $440 is the least sellers can target.META Platforms may have turned neutral on the 1D timeframe (RSI = 53.558, MACD = 15.800, ADX = 23.681) but remain extremely overbought on the 1W (RSI = 76.808). The stock hit the HH trendline that dates back to January 2018, while the 1W MACD is about to form a Bearish Cross. During these six years, the stock has had five standard corrections (excluding the 2022 Bear Cycle) between -15.90% and -44.00%.
The minimum one was the most recent in August 2023. We expect at least such a -15.90% correction before buyers start accumulating again above the 1W MA50, so our sell target is placed accordingly (TP = 440.00).

Meta Platforms:From Struggle to Surge - 2024 Investment OutlookIn 2022, Meta Platforms faced turbulent market conditions amid doubts surrounding CEO Mark Zuckerberg's metaverse ambitions, resulting in a significant 64% decline in share prices. However, the company's trajectory has undergone a remarkable transformation since hitting rock bottom, with shares soaring by 321% since the close of 2022.
Despite this impressive rebound, Meta's shares continue to present an attractive investment opportunity, supported by several compelling factors.
Meta stands out as one of the top-performing stocks in 2023, trading at a forward price-to-earnings ratio of 25.6, representing a discount compared to the Nasdaq-100 index's average forward P/E of 30.4. Wall Street analysts anticipate significant growth for the company, with projected compound annual rates of 14% for revenue and 21.3% for earnings per share over the next three years.
Moreover, Meta's unparalleled dominance in the social media landscape is a key driver of its appeal. With Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram, and Messenger boasting over 4 billion monthly active users collectively, Meta's reach is unmatched, engaging nearly half of the global population.
The company benefits from formidable competitive advantages, including powerful network effects and a substantial data advantage, positioning it as a leader in digital advertising. With $132 billion in revenue in 2023, Meta has become the preferred platform for advertisers seeking targeted advertising and value for their spending.
Meta's robust financial performance further enhances its investment appeal, with a 2023 operating margin of 35% and $43 billion in free cash flow. The company's strong finances enable it to return capital to shareholders through stock buybacks and dividends, reflecting its commitment to delivering value to investors.
In conclusion, Meta Platforms emerges as a compelling investment opportunity in 2024, offering an appealing valuation, unparalleled social media reach, and robust financial performance. With its leadership position in the digital landscape and strategic investments in the metaverse, Meta is poised for continued growth and success in the years to come.

META - Watch out before going all out longWe are no longer respecting our strong buying continuation algorithms and therefore that tells me we will have a tougher time making new all time highs without further liquidity being built. Keep an eye out for a rejection of the bottom of these stronger daily algos as price attempts (with this bullish CPI data) to reenter them.

MetaLook for a pullback to 488 early next week. 480 highly possible too, but 488 price action must be respected!. 480 is the 20sma so i would expect a nice bounce there if it does test 480.
Dark cloud cover on daily chart with volume.
Entries - if it opens green, short any test of 510
If it opens red, they'll go for targets 500, below 500 and 496 gap close comes quick.
With meta ATR i expect 488 next week
META long term trend analysis with fib channelHey traders and investors!
First and foremost I have to say I do not own any META shares right now but I am thinking of building a small position here and keep dollar cost averaging if it goes down to 100$. Here's why: Price action reached a very important swing high from 2016 of about 130$. There is a good chance there will be a bounce from this level, for technical reasons only. The monthly RSI is by far the most oversold it's ever been.
If we look at this beautiful fib channel on the logarithmic scale, we can clearly see that this is the first real downtrend facebook stock has ever faced. So to find potential support levels, I think we can simply look at previous swing highs and monthly candle closes in confluence with fib levels.
So I will be dollar cost averaging when price action reaches the white line, if there's a reaction then fine I can swing trade it and if not I will keep buying and building my position as it reaches the other horizontal lines. If 130$ and 113$ do not hold, there is a high chance of reaching 100$ or even 90$ which would be around a 75% drop from the peak. But I suspect 113$ to 130$ might be where a bottom starts to form in the next few months. Price action dropped about 65% already. META's market cap peaked around 1.06T last year and is now sitting at 360B yet the company is still making money as the entire economy is under a lot of pressure from the FED.
At some point, inflation and the US Dollar will peak, and central banks will go back to printing money because that's what they do. But nobody knows when. That's why I'm thinking of going long now cautiously and I think starting new positions is a great way to have a good average cost basis for long term swing trades. I believe if price action reaches 220$ again there could be a lot of resistance in that area so this would be a good level to take some profit.
Good luck
