Meta came back on track ?Short Answer "Not Really" however, the recent closing prices seem to remain below the 50‑day SMA, which suggests the trend is not clearly “recovered” yet. In other words: there might be short‑term bullish momentum, but it’s not yet confirmed by a sustained close above the 50‑day average — the usual threshold many technicians watch. Takeaway (technical): META seems to be in a sort of “neutral to slightly bullish long-term, but under pressure medium‑term” zone. It’s not decisively broken out — but if it climbs above and sustains above the 50‑day SMA, many technical analysts might view that as a bullish trigger.

$META | COVERAGE INITIATED — Personal Position Update [W49]COVERAGE INITIATED — Bullish Classification (Trend Shift Identified) META — WEEK 49 TREND REPORT | 12/05/2025 Ticker: NASDAQ:META Timeframe: W This is a reactive structural classification based on the weekly chart as of this timestamp. Price conditions are evaluated as they stand — nothing here is predictive or forward-assumptive. ⸻ Author’s Note — Personal Position Update I initiated my own position on [ NASDAQ:META ] during Week [ 49 ], entering at $ [ 673.42 ]. This decision follows my personal criteria: I only participate when my system identifies a verified structural trend shift supported by both a confirmed weekly flag and a qualifying candle state. This note reflects my activity only and is not a suggestion for anyone else. As of this update, my position is currently up ~ [ 0% ] from my entry. My structural exit level is $ [ 670.20 ] on a weekly-close basis. This level will continue to adjust upward automatically as the structure strengthens. If price closes below that threshold, my system classifies the trend as structurally compromised, and that is where I personally exit. This update exists solely to document my own participation and the structural levels I monitor. It is not predictive and does not imply any future outcome. ⸻ Structural Integrity • 1) Current Trend Condition [ Numbers to Watch ] • Current Price @ $ • Trend Duration @ +0 Weeks ( Bullish ) • Trend Reversal Level ( Bearish ) @ $ • Trend Reversal Level ( Bearish Confirmation ) @ $ • Pullback Correction Retracement @ $ • Correction Structural Support @ $ ⸻ 2) Structure Health • Retracement Phase: Uptrend (operating above 78.6%) • Position Status: Caution (interacting with structural layers) ⸻ 3) Temperature : Warming Phase ⸻ 4) Momentum : Neutral ⸻ Structural Alignment NEUTRAL STRUCTURAL CONDITION This mark represents a period where directional behavior was unclear. Market movement here reflected compression, chop, or indecision — neither trend direction was dominant. It does not signal continuation or reversal, only that price action was not showing strong alignment in either direction. ⸻ Methodology Overview This classification framework evaluates directional conditions using internal trend-interpretation logic that references price behavior relative to its structural layers. These relationships are used to identify when price movement aligns with the framework’s criteria for directional phases, transition points, or regime shifts. Visual elements or structural labels reflect these internal interpretations, rather than explicit trading signals or preset indicator crossovers. This framework is observational only and does not imply future outcomes.

META: What’s Setting Up Next?META has recovered sharply from its recent drop, and the structure now hints at a developing continuation phase. The current climb may still be part of a broader move forming to the upside, with momentum showing signs of strength. As price builds within this emerging pattern, the next leg could unfold once the short-term consolidation completes, making this an intriguing chart to watch for follow-through. **Disclosure:** We are part of Trade Nation's Influencer program and receive a monthly fee for using their TradingView charts in our analysis.

META — Watching for a Potential GAP Closure.Hello Everyone, Followers, META is the second one for Today. After disappointing financial report, It created big GAP between 742 to 680 . The GAP is still unfilled. Then META has shown a solid rebound after weeks of heavy selling. The chart is now structured around one key element: 🔍 Chart Highlights - Price is now broke the 631 and closed over this level. This level is now our new Support level. - The GAP zone around 680–700 remains open and is a magnet if momentum continues. - The long-term yellow trend support line held beautifully — buyers stepped exactly where they should. -A push into the GAP zone is the logical next step if META holds above 630 - 631. 🔹 Outlook - META has room to retest the GAP area near 700–720. - A breakout above the 50 MA strengthens this scenario. (Green Line) - A rejection could bring the price back toward 595. 🔹 My Plan If META closes multiple days above 631, I expect continuation into the GAP region. If it pulls back, 595 is my key support area to watch. If you enjoy and like clean, simple analysis — follow me for more. This is just my thinking and it is not invesment suggestion , please do not make any decision with my anaylsis. Have a lovelly Sunday to all and Good Start a Week. #META #SPX500 #NASDAQ

Patience pays off? Long METAI've been patient with META. I've been wanting to go long here since earnings, but I also wanted to see if we'd get closer to the lower trendline. Luckily I waited. But I'm at a point I don't want to wait longer to start my position/trade. The reasons: 1. That lower trendline has held since October 2022. I might do something I rarely do which is set a stop loss somewhere like $530, just in case. But I think the bulls will jump back in here. 2. Look at the MACD. The last time it looked like this, Meta went on a run from $490 to about $750. 3. There's bullish divergence starting to appear in the RSI which is also oversold at 26.5 4. For the past 2 quarters, the POC is almost exactly where we are. This volume should at least slow the drop, and potentially work as a floor to bounce off of. I'm not planning on holding this long term, but I will if I have to. I just bought 25% of my trade and I'll DCA 3 more red days as long as it stays above the trend line. If it drops below the trendline, I'll hold and wait to see what happens with the structure. I have 3 targes as usual: Take Profit 1 = $650 (I think the 200day will be there) and I'll sell 50% of my position. Take Profit 2 = $680 (there's some volume resistance there) and I'll sell 50% of my remaining position. Take Profit 3 = $850 or if it touches the upper trendline. Good luck!

META — WEEK 49 TREND REPORTNASDAQ:META — WEEK 49 TREND REPORT Ticker: NASDAQ:META — 12/02/2025 @ 647.10$ Timeframe: WEEKLY This is a reactive structural classification of NASDAQ:META based on the weekly chart as of this timestamp. Price conditions are evaluated as they stand — nothing here is predictive or forward-assumptive. ⸻ 1) Current Trend Condition • Trend Duration: +9 weeks (Bearish) • Trend Reversal Level (Bullish): 670.20$ • Trend Reversal Level (Bullish Confirmation): 688.75$ • Pullback Support: 645.90$ • Correction Support: 525.73$ ⸻ 2) Structure Health • Retracement Phase: Correction (approaching 61.8%) • Position Status: Unstable (price below both structural layers) ⸻ 3) Temperature : Cooling Phase ⸻ 4) Momentum : Bearish ⸻ 5) Market Sentiment Bearish ⸻ Author’s Note This analysis is fully reactive, not predictive. Market conditions, trend structure, and behavior are classified as they appear in real time. The objective is to identify where directional shifts first occurred, where structural integrity remains intact, and where it would begin to weaken if key levels were breached. Predictive analysis projects outcomes that do not exist yet. Without price confirmation, prediction is built on baseless assumptions. This framework avoids that entirely by responding only to verified structural changes and live conditions. The levels shown simply identify where the current trend structure first shifted and where it would begin to lose integrity if breached. Recognizing these boundaries allows for clearer interpretation of market behavior without relying on forward guarantees, speculative projections, or unsupported assumptions. ⸻ Methodology Overview This classification framework evaluates directional conditions using internal trend-interpretation logic that references price behavior relative to its structural layers.

Meta ( $META) Rises on New AI Publisher Deals & Key Support TestMeta Platforms (NASDAQ: META) gained fresh bullish momentum on Friday after announcing a series of high-profile AI content partnerships with major global publishers, including USA Today, CNN, Fox News, People Inc., The Daily Caller, Washington Examiner, and France’s Le Monde. These agreements will enable Meta to feed real-time news updates into its AI chatbot ecosystem, deepening the company’s reach in the rapidly expanding AI-powered information market. While financial terms weren’t disclosed, the partnerships significantly elevate the quality, diversity, and timeliness of content available within Meta’s AI systems at a time when competition across the sector is intensifying. The move also acts as a strategic counterbalance to headwinds surrounding mixed reception to Meta’s Llama 4 model and scaled-down spending on its metaverse ambitions. By redirecting resources toward AI assistants and core applications, Meta aims to strengthen engagement and remain competitive against rivals aggressively investing in similar publisher-driven content pipelines. Analysts believe these partnerships could meaningfully enhance AI performance, improve user retention, and create new commercial pathways in Meta’s broader digital ecosystem. Technical Analysis The META chart reflects a healthy long-term bullish structure despite recent corrective pressure. Price has pulled back from the $796 high and is currently trading in the $670 region, with a deeper dip still possible. The chart shows a rising trendline established since late 2023, currently aligning near the $580–$600 zone, which stands out as a high-probability support area. Should price retest this trendline and hold, META could rebound strongly toward the previous all-time high around $796, with potential continuation above that level upon breakout.

META - Weekly - Dealing With a Fibonacci LayerThe asset is currently at a crucial Fibonacci resistance layer, suggesting a near-term ceiling or range-bound trading zone, which complicates immediate price action, although the 200-day EMA appears to be the more reliable support level compared to the 100-day EMA. This technical caution is amplified by a pattern of decreased weekly volume since early 2024, mirroring the distribution phase seen before the July 2021 correction, which strongly indicates a likely, gradual correction to the $500 or potentially the $300 level. Fundamentally, the company remains robust in the long term due to strong annual net income and revenue growth, normal debt levels, and ample free cash flow and cash equivalents; however, the significant quarter-over-quarter drop in net income from Q2 2025 to Q3 2025 raises short-term skepticism about its immediate health, aligning with the bearish technical outlook for a substantial correction before the long-term fundamentals can drive the next major upswing.

META (Dec. 10) — Sitting on the Edge of Breakdown or Reversal?META is in a tricky spot right now. The 1H chart shows price grinding along the rising trendline that has been supporting the entire December move. Buyers have been defending that line, but the structure has weakened with lower highs forming on every bounce. The trendline is now being tested again, and momentum continues to fade. If META loses this 1H trendline, the next demand doesn’t show up until the 642–650 zone — the exact area highlighted by the 15M chart and confirmed by the GEX put-support levels. So the downside path is clean if the trendline gives way. On the 15M chart, price has been compressing under a descending trendline. Sellers have the upper hand intraday — every bounce is getting sold off quickly, and the tape keeps drifting back toward the red liquidity zone at 653–654. META needs to reclaim the breakdown zone near 662–665 to flip the tone back to bullish; otherwise, the structure is still leaning downward. The GEX layout matches the chart almost perfectly. Strongest positive gamma sits all the way up at 670–680 — nowhere near current price — which tells us dealers aren’t defending the downside. Meanwhile, the put support walls at 653 and 642 are located exactly at the two major technical demand zones on 1H and 15M charts. When price stalls right on top of these put walls, it usually means the market is waiting for liquidity before the next move. Because META is trading inside the red liquidity box and under the 662–665 rejection zone, the GEX map confirms that the path of least resistance is still lower unless bulls step in with force. My thoughts: META is in a bearish bias short-term unless it reclaims 662–665. If that level stays resistance, the chart and GEX both point toward a potential flush into 653 first, and then the deeper 642–645 zone if that breaks. Those are the only areas where I'd expect real buyers to show. If the 1H trendline somehow holds again and price breaks above the descending trendline on the 15M, then a recovery toward 670 becomes possible — but META must break structure before any upside becomes meaningful.

Meta - $450 Target - The Next Big Short?Even though Meta is holding up in the LLM race with Llama, Meta has had a massive failure (over $70B+) on the failed Metaverse project in which is their new namesake along with now the Australian social media ban for people 16 and younger, and people realizing the intensity of the data Meta collects on people. The stronghold Meta has on social media is coming to a pause, and at the same time questions are arising on whether or not they can differentiate themselves enough having a hard time tackling growth beyond Facebook's user stagnation point and advertising. That said, short volume is increasing, and the recent bull run could be due for a correction. The MACD trading indicators show two recent pushes over short volume, and at the same time, this seems to be the top of the bullish trendline. A retracement back to $450 making this a big short is possible. As always, none of this is investment or financial advice. Please do your own due diligence and research.

META – Weekly Chart📈 META – Weekly Chart Overview A technical rebound may be starting to form. Several signals from The Wave system are aligning: ✅ Price in the buy zone META has retraced into a historically strong demand area, perfectly overlapping with the Wave buy signal zone. This region has acted as a springboard multiple times in the past. ✅ Undervaluation on higher timeframes The stock is currently trading near its dynamic trendline support, combined with oversold readings on momentum indicators. This suggests the correction might be approaching exhaustion. ✅ Momentum turning The stochastic is bottoming out exactly where previous weekly reversals occurred. RSI also shows early signs of stabilisation. 🎯 Potential scenario If buyers step in from this level, META could aim for the upper resistance area marked on the chart, offering an attractive risk-to-reward of 3.3 — a favourable setup for medium-term swing traders. 🛑 Invalidation A clean break below the SL area would shift the structure and invalidate the bullish setup. This is a textbook example of waiting for high-probability zones rather than chasing the price, discipline always pays.

META — Setting Up for a Potential 50% Upside?META (Weekly Chart) is showing a strong technical setup after a healthy multi-week correction. Price has bounced exactly from the long-term rising trendline + 100-WMA zone — a region that has historically acted as a strong accumulation area. 🔍 Key Bullish Signals Bullish candle forming near structural support, indicating buyers stepping in. Price holding above major MAs: 100W, and 200W → long-term trend intact. MACD flattening near zero-line, often a precursor to a fresh weekly bullish crossover. A bounce from the current trendline opens room to the next Fibonacci cluster at ~$980–$1,000, which is approximately +50% from current levels. 🎯 Upside Projection Current Price: ~$648 Potential Target (Fib 2.618 extension): ~$990 ➡️ Estimated Upside: ~50% If META confirms a weekly close above the current range resistance, the path toward higher Fib zones becomes technically valid.

Global Stock Exchanges1. What Is a Stock Exchange? A stock exchange is a regulated marketplace where securities such as equities, bonds, and derivatives are traded. It provides: A platform for buying and selling: Ensures fair and efficient transactions between investors. Regulation and oversight: Protects market participants via rules, surveillance, and disclosure requirements. Price discovery: Supply and demand determine the price of a stock; exchanges provide the infrastructure to update prices in real time. Liquidity: Investors can enter and exit positions easily because exchanges bring thousands to millions of participants together. Capital raising for companies: By issuing shares in an IPO, businesses grow, expand, and innovate. 2. Key Functions of Global Stock Exchanges a. Facilitating Capital Formation Corporate expansion depends heavily on capital. Exchanges allow companies to raise funds from the public by selling ownership (shares). This is more efficient than borrowing because equity does not require regular repayment. b. Providing Liquidity A liquid market ensures that securities can be traded quickly without large price fluctuations. High liquidity lowers transaction costs, reduces volatility, and makes markets more attractive to investors. c. Ensuring Transparency and Fairness All listed companies must meet stringent disclosure requirements. Real-time price updates, audited annual reports, and regulatory filings prevent information asymmetry. d. Enabling Diversification Exchanges offer thousands of instruments across sectors—technology, finance, healthcare, manufacturing, commodities—helping investors build balanced portfolios. e. Supporting Economic Growth A well-developed stock exchange promotes efficient capital allocation, encourages entrepreneurship, and attracts global investment. 3. Major Global Stock Exchanges Around the world, there are dozens of stock exchanges, but a handful dominate in size, technology, and global influence. a. New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), USA The world’s largest exchange by market capitalization. Home to giants like Apple, Microsoft, and ExxonMobil. Known for high regulatory standards and deep liquidity. b. NASDAQ, USA A fully electronic exchange famous for technology-heavy listings—Google, Amazon, Tesla, Facebook, and Netflix. NASDAQ is often seen as the heart of global innovation. c. Tokyo Stock Exchange (TSE), Japan Asia’s largest exchange hosting companies such as Toyota, Sony, and SoftBank. It plays a crucial role in global manufacturing and technology sectors. d. Shanghai Stock Exchange (SSE) & Shenzhen Stock Exchange (SZSE), China Two of the fastest-growing exchanges. They reflect China’s economic rise and attract massive domestic and foreign investment despite capital flow restrictions. e. Hong Kong Stock Exchange (HKEX) Global gateway to Chinese companies. HKEX allows international investors to access mainland firms via Stock Connect programs. f. London Stock Exchange (LSE), UK One of the oldest exchanges. LSE is known for global listings, strong derivatives trading, and its role in European financial markets. g. Euronext A pan-European exchange operating across multiple countries like France, Netherlands, Belgium, and Portugal. It unifies European financial markets. h. Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) & National Stock Exchange (NSE), India Two of the world’s most active exchanges by volume. NSE’s NIFTY50 and BSE’s SENSEX serve as benchmarks for one of the fastest-growing major economies. 4. How Global Stock Exchanges Operate a. Listing Requirements Companies must meet criteria such as minimum market capitalization, profitability, governance standards, and public shareholding norms. These requirements ensure only credible businesses list on the exchange. b. Trading Mechanisms Most modern exchanges use electronic limit order books where computers match buy and sell orders based on price and time priority. c. Clearing and Settlement Clearing houses act as intermediaries ensuring both sides of a trade fulfill their obligations. Settlement cycles, such as T+1 or T+2, dictate how quickly ownership transfers and money exchanges hands. d. Circuit Breakers & Market Surveillance To prevent crashes or excessive volatility, exchanges impose trading halts if indices move beyond a threshold. Surveillance systems track suspicious activity such as insider trading or price manipulation. 5. Global Interconnectivity of Exchanges Stock exchanges worldwide are interconnected. Events in one region quickly influence others due to: International investors and institutions moving capital across borders. Cross-listings, where a company is listed on multiple exchanges. ETF and derivative products tied to global indices. Macroeconomic linkages like interest rates, GDP, inflation, and oil prices. Technology, enabling instant order execution across continents. For example, a similar technology sell-off in the U.S. NASDAQ may affect Asian markets the next day, as investors re-allocate risk globally. 6. Globalization and the Rise of Electronic Trading Technology has radically transformed stock exchanges. a. High-Frequency Trading (HFT) Uses algorithms to execute trades within microseconds. It increases liquidity but sometimes amplifies volatility. b. Online Brokers Platforms like Robinhood, Zerodha, and Interactive Brokers allow retail investors worldwide to participate in global markets at low cost. c. Crypto Exchanges Though not traditional exchanges, platforms like Binance and Coinbase mirror exchange functions for digital assets. d. 24-Hour Trading Some exchanges now offer extended hours, allowing investors in different time zones to trade almost anytime. 7. Importance of Global Stock Exchanges in the World Economy a. Wealth Creation for Investors Stock exchanges help households grow wealth through equity investments, retirement funds, and long-term portfolios. b. Channels for Foreign Investment Foreign institutional investors (FIIs) move billions into emerging markets, fueling growth and globalization. c. Benchmarking Economic Performance Indices like S&P 500, FTSE 100, Nikkei 225, and NIFTY 50 act as indicators of economic health. d. Risk Distribution Through derivatives and diversified holdings, risk spreads across market participants, reducing systemic vulnerabilities. e. Encouraging Innovation Capital raised on stock exchanges helps fund research, expansion, and technological advancement. 8. Challenges Facing Global Stock Exchanges a. Volatility from Geopolitics Trade wars, conflicts, and political instability often trigger sudden market movements. b. Differences in Regulations Global exchanges operate under varying laws, creating complexity for multinational investors. c. Cybersecurity Risks Electronic systems are vulnerable to hacking, technical outages, and data breaches. d. Dominance of Big Tech Concentration of market capitalization in a few mega-caps sometimes distorts index performance. e. Slowing IPO Markets Tighter regulations and private funding alternatives make some firms stay private longer. Conclusion Global stock exchanges play a vital role in shaping the modern financial world. They facilitate capital flow, support economic growth, and act as hubs for investment, innovation, and wealth creation. As technology continues to evolve, stock exchanges are becoming faster, more connected, and more accessible. Yet, they also face growing challenges in regulation, cybersecurity, and global competition. Understanding their structure and dynamics helps investors, policymakers, and businesses navigate an increasingly interconnected global financial system.
