META: A Dangerous Inflection Point! (D&H Chart Analysis).Daily Chart (Left) Ascending Channel: The price has been trending within an ascending channel, indicating a strong upward trend that has held for a considerable period. Double Support Area: There is a critical support zone at $561.52, marked by both horizontal support and the lower trend line of the ascending channel. This convergence of support points suggests that this level is pivotal for maintaining the current trend. Price Reaction: Recently, the price tested the support area and rebounded, but it is still below the 21-day EMA. Hourly Chart (Right) 21-Hour EMA Resistance: The price recently encountered resistance at the 21-hour EMA as well, which may act as a short-term barrier for further upward movement. Pullback Zone: The recent dip tested the support area around $561.52, validating it as a strong inflection point. The price is now attempting a recovery from this support level. Conclusion: The $561.52 level is crucial for both bullish and bearish traders. If the price maintains above this zone, there could be potential for a rebound and continuation within the ascending channel. Conversely, failure to hold this support could lead to a bearish reversal or deeper correction. Keeping an eye on the reaction to the 21-hour EMA will provide clues for short-term movement.

Remember, real trading is reactive, not predictive, so let's stay focused on the key points described above and only trade when there is confirmation. “To anticipate the market is to gamble.

Meta Platforms , Inc _ Quarter _ 4 _ Distribution _ Prices: Meta Platforms , Inc _ Quarter _ 4 _ Distribution _ Prices: To get to the future prices I will calculate the economy range for previous 2 years. From 1st of September 2021 to 1st of September 2023 is exactly 2 years. From 1st of September 2023 to 22nd of January 2024 is 4 months and 21 days. So, the total time between the dates is 2 years, 4 months, and 21 days. Now I will use my own mathematical model and engineer them with current time and data to get the future prices which will cover between Quarter 4, 2024 and Quarter 1, 2025 period. 1st Cycle distribution ( Next Prices): $610.57 $622.65 Retest $601.85 __________ $633.78 $639.79 $640.95 $643.55 $654.72 $686.74 _______________ 2nd Cycle distribution ( Next Prices): $757.25 $870.42 $985.71 $1,284.71

META Technical Analysis for Nov. 1, 2024Current Price Level: META is trading near the $568 range, which appears close to the midpoint between recent high and low levels. Support and Resistance: Key resistance lies around $608.86, with prior rejections at this level. Support levels are visible at around $561.25 and a lower level near $554.85. EMA Trend: The EMAs are sloping downward, indicating a bearish trend in the short term. Price is below both EMAs, which could suggest continued downward momentum unless a reversal occurs. Volume Analysis: Increased volume on recent downward moves suggests stronger selling pressure. Any spike in volume near support or resistance zones could hint at a reversal or continuation. MACD: The MACD lines are converging, possibly signaling a trend change or consolidation phase. Watch for a bullish crossover, which could suggest upward momentum. Strategy for Tomorrow: Bullish Scenario: If price breaks above $568 with strong volume, watch for a retest and a move toward $608. Bearish Scenario: A failure to hold above $561.25 could lead to a test of the $554.85 support. Entry and Exit Points: Long Entry: Above $568, targeting $608 with a stop loss slightly below $561. Short Entry: Below $561, aiming for $554, with a stop loss above $568. Remember, always use proper risk management and adjust based on pre-market conditions.

META on a new expansion wave to $800.Meta Platforms / META is pulling back again to test the 1day MA50, which has been holding since September 11th. The pattern is quite similar to the January 2nd 2024 pull back, a bullish break out that also took place after a prolonged consolidation pattern. The 1week RSI patterns between the two are also fairly similar. As long as the 1day MA50 holds, we expect META to stay on this expansion wave. Target $800 which is a +93.92% rise from the bottom, the rise that formed the previosu peak (April 8th 2024). Previous chart: Follow us, like the idea and leave a comment below!!

TOO MUCH METAMeta has aggressively shifted its focus toward AI, investing heavily in AI infrastructure and technologies to improve its platform offerings. AI is being used across its platforms for improving ad targeting, enhancing user engagement, and powering recommendation systems (e.g., in Instagram and Facebook). This AI integration is leading to better user experiences and increased advertiser value. Meta has been introducing new features aimed at increasing monetization, such as in-app shopping, direct-to-consumer services on Instagram, and WhatsApp’s push towards business and e-commerce solutions. These features are adding new revenue streams beyond traditional ads. As Nvidia churns out more chips for future al products, META puts them into practice across its giant social media ecosystem. In early October , META stock reached its all time high of $595.94. Year to date, META shares are up 61%. The company has adopted Apple's approach of massive stock buybacks. In February this year, META authorized an additional $50 billion in share repurchases, following the $30.93 billion executed December 2023. META is scheduled to release its Q3 earnings results at the end of the month, on OCTOBER 30TH. Like Nvidia, the company beat EPS estimates during the year, with the last quarter showing 9.79% surprise. For the next quarter, analyst EPS consensus is $5.17 vs 4.39 in the year ago quarter,repsenting nearly 18% valuation growth. There is too much META and growth coming .its a good buy

Mega cap earningsIt's a big week of Mega cap earnings. I noticed a pattern from NFLX 2 weeks ago, TSLA last week and GOOGL last night earnings. Price action hit +3ATR above SMA20. I would expect this pattern to continue for MSFT & META tonight and for AMZN & AAPL on Thursday. However, since the long entry point was a much better setup heading into NFLX, TSLA & GOOGL earnings. There's limited up side left for MSFT, META, AMZN & AAPL now that the market has run up.

Meta: Buy Opportunity with Strong Short & Medium Term SignalsMeta Platforms NASDAQ:META (META) is on track to hit new record highs at $610, and the short- and medium-term technical indicators suggest a strong buying opportunity. Here’s why: In the 2-hour and 4-hour timeframes, several key indicators are flashing buy signals: The Exponential Moving Averages (10, 20, 30, and 50) across both timeframes are all signaling bullish momentum, indicating upward strength. In the 4-hour chart, Momentum (10) is positive, and Bull Bear Power is also supporting further gains. While there’s a MACD Sell signal, it’s outweighed by the overall uptrend across multiple moving averages. In the 2-hour chart, the MACD Level has switched to Buy, and the Volume Weighted Moving Average (VWMA) is also bullish, suggesting growing strength in the short term. In the daily timeframe, Meta shows even more confirmation for a bullish stance: Most of the key Moving Averages (EMA 10, 20, 30, 50) are aligned with continued upside, supporting a sustained uptrend. The MACD and Momentum indicators show some divergence, but overall the market remains tilted in favor of a bullish outcome, with price action well above the 100 and 200-day moving averages. Risk-Reward Setup: The combination of buy signals in both short and medium-term charts presents a favorable risk-reward setup. Meta’s strong uptrend suggests a continuation toward new highs, while the technicals back a bullish bias with several layers of confirmation. However, caution should be exercised with short-term volatility, but the overall trend still supports the case for a long position. Considering these factors, entering long positions with a target at $610 offers a compelling opportunity to ride the momentum of one of the tech market leaders.

Meta's Q3 Financial Results | Growth and the Future of AI & AR Meta's Q3 Earnings: AI Investments Shape the Future of Engagement and Monetization Last week, Meta shared its Q3 earnings, revealing a familiar trend: while the results were strong, rising AI investments cast a shadow. With over 3.2 billion daily users across Meta’s apps, the company alongside Google and YouTube is in a prime position to bring AI into the mainstream. However, this shift could potentially disrupt the creator economy as we know it So, how will this affect the future of Meta’s apps? Did you know META is 222% up since our first analysis ? Let’s break down the quarter and explore the latest updates Today’s Highlights - Overview of Meta Q3 FY24 - Recent business highlights - Key quotes from the earnings call - The potential decline of the creator economy 1. Meta Q3 FY24 Overview Meta operates within two main segments FoA: Family of Apps (Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, and WhatsApp) RL: Reality Labs (virtual reality hardware and software) Daily Active People in FoA grew by 5% year over year, reaching 3.29 billion. However, user growth has slowed, with Meta adding 20 million daily users in Q3 2024 down from 50 million earlier in 2024. Meta’s reach now extends to over half of the global population aged 15 to 80, meaning future growth will hinge more on engagement and ad efficiency than adding new users. Key Insights from Zuckerberg: -Facebook: Positive engagement trends among Gen Z in the U.S. -Instagram: Sustains “strong” growth globally. -WhatsApp: Now surpasses 2 billion calls daily. -Meta AI: 500 million monthly active users. -Threads: 275 million monthly active users, up from 200 million in Q2, with notable growth in regions like the U.S., Taiwan, and Japan (currently not monetized and unlikely to drive significant revenue by 2025). Advertising Performance: - Ad impressions grew 7% year-over-year (compared to 10% in Q2). - Average ad price increased by 11% year-over-year (10% in Q2). - Average revenue per user grew by 12% year-over-year, reaching $12.29 (compared to Snap at $3.10 and Reddit at $3.58). - Despite some critics suggesting potential inflation due to bot activity, ARPU growth points to real ad value; fake users can’t generate revenue. Financials - Revenue rose 19% year-over-year to $40.6 billion. - FoA saw a 19% increase, reaching $40.3 billion. - RL grew by 29% to $0.3 billion. - Gross margin was 82% (-1pp Y/Y, +1pp Q/Q). - Operating margin stood at 43% (+2pp Y/Y, +5pp Q/Q). - FoA operating profit was $21.8 billion (54% margin, +2pp Y/Y). - RL reported an operating loss of $4.4 billion (down slightly from $4.5 billion in Q2). - EPS rose by 37% year-over-year to $6.03. Cash Flow - Operating cash flow was $24.7 billion (61% margin, +1pp Y/Y). - Free cash flow was $15.5 billion (38% margin, -2pp Y/Y). Balance Sheet - Cash and marketable securities totaled $71 billion - Long-term debt was $29 billion Guidance: - Q4 FY24 revenue is forecasted at $46.5 billion in the mid-range - FY24 expenses estimated at $96-$98 billion (previously $96-$99 billion) - FY24 Capex is expected to be $38-40 billion (previously $37-$40 billion) Summary Analysis Revenue growth was 20% in constant currency (compared to 23% in Q2), with ad revenue growth driven by increased ad prices. Strong demand for ads continued, largely due to higher ad performance, especially in online commerce, healthcare, and entertainment. Geographically, North America and Europe led growth at 21%, while Asia slowed from 28% to 15%. Reality Labs’ revenue rose 29%, mainly from hardware sales, though the division continues to post significant losses. As shown in the visuals, FoA operating profit reached an all-time high, while RL’s losses remain around $4 billion quarterly. Headcount increased by 9% year-over-year to 72,404, signaling a return to hiring, particularly in priority areas such as monetization, infrastructure, Reality Labs, and generative AI. Stock buybacks amounted to nearly $9 billion in Q3, up from $6 billion in Q2, though lower than the $15 billion in Q1. Management’s confidence in Meta’s stock remains strong, with an additional $1.3 billion paid in dividends. Capital expenditures climbed by 36% to $9.2 billion compared to $8.5 billion in Q2, with guidance staying on track. Management anticipates “significant acceleration in infrastructure expenses” for 2025, which will affect both the cost of revenue and R&D expenses. Despite heavy AI spending, Meta remains highly profitable, generating nearly $52 billion in free cash flow over the past 12 months—just shy of Alphabet’s $56 billion over the same period. Q4 FY24 revenue guidance points to deceleration, with mid-range growth forecasted at 16%. Let’s examine Meta’s investments and market position further. 2. Recent Business Highlights Meta Orion Meta's Orion AR glasses mark an ambitious step towards a future beyond smartphones, showcasing the potential of augmented reality (AR): -Prototype Status: Orion is a high-tech AR prototype, equipped with advanced features, but high production costs keep it out of reach for consumers. -Advanced AR Display: Using Micro LED projectors and silicon carbide lenses, Orion offers a broad field of view with sharper visuals than most current AR devices. -Interactive AI Integration: With Meta's generative AI, Orion enables users to interact with virtual elements, identify real-world objects, and create immediate solutions, such as recipes. -Complex Hardware: Orion relies on a neural wristband for control and a wireless compute puck, creating a multi-part system. -High Cost & Limited Production: With a price tag estimated at $10,000, Orion isn’t ready for mass production. Meta has produced around 1,000 units for demonstrations and internal testing. - Future Vision: Meta aims to release a consumer-friendly AR device within a few years, working toward a slimmer, more affordable model that could rival smartphone prices. Orion reflects Meta's goal to lead the next wave of computing, though significant technological and cost hurdles remain. Timing and Competitive Landscape**: Zuckerberg’s reveal of Orion may aim to justify Reality Labs' annual $16-20 billion operating loss to shareholders and gather feedback. Meanwhile, Apple has initiated its “Atlas” project to explore the smart glasses market, indicating potential plans to shift focus from the high-end $3,500 Vision Pro VR headset. How AI Is Already Impacting Meta Beyond future-oriented projects like Orion, Meta’s AI advancements are actively enhancing its core business in two strategic areas: engagement and monetization. -Engagement: Meta's recommendation engine uses AI to tailor feeds with highly relevant video content, keeping users engaged. AI-driven prediction systems further increase app usage by showing content that maximizes interaction. -Monetization: AI boosts ad efficiency across the entire lifecycle—from creation to performance tracking. Generative AI assists with ad copy, images, and video, while advanced models analyze user behavior to serve targeted ads, improving conversion rates incrementally. -Meta AI Studio: This platform allows developers to create, train, and deploy custom AI models within Meta’s ecosystem. By enabling personalized assistants, interactive AI, and AR applications, Meta seeks to drive new consumer apps and maximize ad potential across its platforms. Market Share Meta’s advertising revenue hit $39.9 billion in Q3, reaching 81% of Google’s search revenue, up from 76% last year. Meta’s ad revenue is expanding at the same rate as Amazon’s, despite Meta’s larger base, signaling regained market share and effective adaptation to the post-ATT environment. 3. Key Quotes from the Earnings Call CEO Mark Zuckerberg - On AI and the Family of Apps: “Improvements to our AI-driven feed and video recommendations have led to an 8% increase in time spent on Facebook and a 6% increase on Instagram this year alone. More than a million advertisers used our GenAI tools to create over 15 million ads last month, and we estimate businesses using Image Generation are seeing a 7% conversion lift.” -On Llama 4: “We're training the Llama 4 models on a cluster larger than 100,000 H100s, more extensive than anything reported elsewhere.” -On RayBan Meta Glasses: “Glasses are the ideal AI form factor as they let your AI see, hear, and communicate with you. Demand remains strong, with the new clear edition selling out quickly.” -On Meta AI: “We’re on track for Meta AI to become the world’s most used AI assistant by year-end, with popular uses including information gathering, task assistance, and content exploration.” CFO Susan Li -On Recommendations: “Inspired by scaling laws observed in large language models, we’ve developed new ranking architectures for Facebook video that enhance relevance and increase watch time” -On Capital Allocation: “We’re optimistic about our opportunities and believe that investing now in infrastructure and talent will accelerate progress and returns.” 4. The Potential Decline of the Creator Economy Facebook and Instagram have evolved from social networks to content networks, benefiting creators with wide-reaching platforms. However, this era may be coming to a close. -AI-Generated Content: Zuckerberg shared plans to introduce AI-generated and AI-summarized content on Facebook, Instagram, and potentially Threads, gradually shifting away from creator-generated content as the primary engagement driver. -Impact on Creators: As AI learns to identify and generate engaging content, creators could struggle to compete, with algorithms delivering exactly what audiences want. Over time, creators may face a landscape where AI determines the most engaging posts, relegating them to the sidelines in a world increasingly powered by self-generating content. -Why It Matters: Platforms like YouTube share 55% of ad revenue with creators, but Meta does not, meaning that an AI-driven shift isn’t primarily about cost-cutting. Instead, it allows for more integrated ad placements within algorithmic feeds, potentially boosting impressions and conversions. Although AI generated feeds may sound dystopian, current high engagement accounts already use tactics to maximize engagement, meaning the shift to AI might go largely unnoticed by audiences.
