Green day on Wednesday for META

The META stock price gained 2.10% on the last trading day (Wednesday, 1st May 2024), rising from $430.17 to $439.19. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 5.32% from a day low at $427.20 to a day high of $449.94. The price has been going up and down for this period, and there has been a -11.13% loss for the last 2 weeks. Volume has increased on the last day along with the price, which is a positive technical sign, and, in total, 3 million more shares were traded than the day before. In total, 20 million shares were bought and sold for approximately $8.85 billion.

On May 01, 2024, it was reported that Loop Capital Markets gave META a "Buy" grade with a "hold" action.

The stock is at the lower part of a wide and horizontal trend in the short term, and normally this may pose a good buying opportunity, though a breakdown through the bottom trend line at $430.33 will give a strong sell signal and a trend shift may be expected.Given the current horizontal trend, you can expect META stock with a 90% probability to be traded between $438.16 and $539.78 at the end of this 3-month period. A break of a horizontal trend is often followed by a large increase in the volume, and stocks seldom manage to go directly from the bottom of a trend up to the top. Stocks turning up in the middle of a horizontal trend are therefore considered to be potential runners.

A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Tuesday, April 30, 2024, and so far it has risen 2.10%. Further rise is indicated until a new top pivot has been found. Volume is rising along with the price. This is considered to be a good technical signal. Some negative signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. The META stock holds sell signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a more negative forecast for the stock. Also, there is a general sell signal from the relation between the two signals where the long-term average is above the short-term average. On corrections up, there will be some resistance from the lines at $453.75 and $492.16. A break-up above any of these levels will issue buy signals. Furthermore, there is currently a sell signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD).

META finds support from accumulated volume at $432.62 and this level may hold a buying opportunity as an upwards reaction can be expected when the support is being tested.

This stock has average movements during the day and with good trading volume, the risk is considered to be medium. During the last day, the stock moved $22.74 between high and low, or 5.32%. For the last week, the stock has had daily average volatility of 4.23%.

META is oversold on RSI14 (22). Some stocks may drop long and hard while being oversold on RSI before turning, which increases the general risk.

META holds several negative signals and is within a wide and falling trend, so we believe it will still perform weakly in the next couple of days or weeks. We therefore hold a negative evaluation of this stock.
