Trading Expectations (META) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Friday 6th

For the upcoming trading day on Friday, 6th we expect Meta Platforms, Inc. (Formerly Facebook / FB) to open at $611.96, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $594.59 and $623.27, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$14.34 (+/-2.35%) up or down from last closing price. If Meta Platforms, Inc. (Formerly Facebook / FB) takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 4.71% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $613.65 (0.78%) than the support at $591.80 (2.81%), our systems don't find the trading risk/reward intra-day attractive and any bets should be held until the stock is closer to the support level.
