META Stock Forecast

Sell candidate since Apr 10, 2025 Loss -8.05%

The META stock price decreased by -3.68% on the last trading day (Wednesday, 16th Apr 2025), dropping from $521.52 to $502.31. This marks a consecutive decline for 5 days. Throughout the last trading session, the stock experienced a fluctuation of 3.56%, with a low of $495.63 and a high of $513.29. Over the past 10 days, the price has decreased on 8 occasions, resulting in a total decline of -13.98% during this timeframe. Additionally, trading volume increased on the last day by 3 million shares, despite the declining prices. This could signal an early warning, indicating a slight increase in risk over the coming days. Overall, 18 million shares were traded, amounting to approximately $9.27 billion.

The stock lies in the lower of a very wide and falling trend in the short term, and this may normally pose a very good buying opportunity. If the lower trend floor at $482.37 is broken, it will firstly indicate a stronger fall rate. Given the current short-term trend, the stock is expected to fall -21.59% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $378.24 and $485.61 at the end of this 3-month period. Do note, that if the stock price manages to stay at current levels or higher, our prediction target will start to change positively over the next few days as the conditions for the current predictions will be broken.

META Signals & Forecast

There are few to no technical positive signals at the moment. 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 $534.48 and $588.07. A break-up above any of these levels will issue buy signals. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Wednesday, April 09, 2025, and so far it has fallen -14.25%. Further fall is indicated until a new bottom pivot has been found. Furthermore, there is currently a sell signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). Volume rose on falling prices yesterday. This may be an early warning and the stock should be followed more closely.
