META: Strong Bounce from 690-700 - Is the Reversal to 760 on?META: Strong Bounce from 690-700 - Is the Reversal to 760 on? After a sustained bearish period since September 19th, Meta Platforms (META) has just printed a strong bullish candle, confirming a robust bounce from the "Very Good Support 690 to 700" zone. This decisive reaction from key demand suggests a potential reversal, with the "760 1st Target" now in immediate focus for bullish momentum to reclaim previous levels and test the broken trendline. A successful break and sustained close above the 760 mark would clear the path for the "785 to 790 2nd Target," aiming to challenge prior swing highs and solidify a new upward trend. Maintaining price action firmly above the 690-700 support is absolutely critical to validate this bullish shift and continue the recovery path.

META | AI Capex Drive vs $754 Decision PointMeta’s recent earnings reinforced the AI and ad monetisation story, with revenue growth, margin expansion, and aggressive capex guidance ($64–72B). Deals like the $14B CoreWeave cloud agreement and plans to personalize ads via AI chats keep the structural AI narrative alive. These catalysts provide fuel for investors to stay engaged with the stock despite higher spend. On the 4H chart, META’s bullish flag structure has retraced toward anchored VWAP support. The $754 anchored VWAP is the key decision point: If price reclaims and holds above → structure remains constructive with scope for continuation. If price stays capped below → flag negation risks deeper correction into VWAP trendline support. Takeaway: $754 anchored VWAP is the line that separates continuation from correction.

Meta May Be OversoldMeta Platforms has been sliding, and some traders may think the social-media giant is oversold. The first pattern on today’s chart is the September 2 low of $721.73. META fell below that level yesterday but is now trying to recover. Traders may look for support at such an intermediate-term level. Second, prices tested the 100-day simple moving average for the first time since early May. Is a longer-term uptrend in place? Third, stochastics have dipped to an oversold condition. Next, earnings are expected near the end of this month. Notice how prices jumped following the last report. Finally, META is an active underlier in the options market. (Its 320,000 average contracts per session ranks 11th in the S&P 500, according to TradeStation data.) That could help traders take positions with calls and puts.

META (3H) — Elliott Wave AnalysisStructure The chart displays a zigzag corrective pattern labeled (A) → (B) → (C). Wave (C) unfolds inside a falling wedge (ending diagonal), a common terminal structure at the end of corrections. The breakout attempt from this wedge suggests that Wave (C) may be complete. Wave (A) A sharp, impulsive decline in five subwaves. Defines the start of the correction. Wave (B) A three-wave upward retracement. Retraces roughly 0.38–0.50 of Wave (A), consistent with zigzag proportions. Wave (C) A five-wave structure contained within a converging wedge. Subwave (v) shows diminishing momentum, typical of an ending diagonal. The upward break through the wedge top signals the potential termination of Wave (C). Key Level 753.66 is the critical resistance. A confirmed move above 753.66 validates that the (A)–(B)–(C) correction has ended and a new impulsive sequence may be starting. Failure to reclaim 753.66 leaves the risk that the bounce is only a temporary rally within a larger correction. Alternate Scenario A new low beneath the Wave (C) termination point would invalidate the completion view, implying the correction is extending.

Forex Market AnalysisIntroduction The foreign exchange (Forex) market is the largest and most liquid financial market globally, with an average daily turnover exceeding $8 trillion. Unlike stock markets, which are centralized, the Forex market is decentralized, operating 24 hours a day across global financial hubs, including London, New York, Tokyo, and Sydney. Forex trading involves the exchange of one currency for another, usually quoted in currency pairs such as EUR/USD, GBP/JPY, or USD/INR. The objective of Forex analysis is to understand market behavior, predict future price movements, and develop strategies for profitable trading. Forex market analysis is broadly categorized into fundamental analysis, technical analysis, and sentiment analysis, each playing a critical role in decision-making. Understanding these approaches, combined with risk management, helps traders navigate the complexities of global currency markets. 1. Structure of the Forex Market The Forex market consists of several participants: Commercial Banks – The largest players, providing liquidity to the market and facilitating currency transactions for clients. Central Banks – Influence currency values through monetary policy, interest rate decisions, and interventions. Hedge Funds and Investment Firms – Engage in speculative trading and arbitrage opportunities. Corporations – Manage currency risk due to international trade and investments. Retail Traders – Individual traders accessing the market via brokers and trading platforms. The market operates in three major sessions: Asian Session (Tokyo, Hong Kong, Singapore) – Characterized by low volatility, often setting the initial trend for the day. European Session (London, Frankfurt) – High liquidity and volatility, major economic data releases happen here. North American Session (New York) – High volatility overlaps with London session, critical for trend continuation or reversal. 2. Key Drivers of Forex Market Movements Forex prices fluctuate due to multiple factors: 2.1 Macroeconomic Indicators Economic data from countries heavily influence currency valuation: Gross Domestic Product (GDP) – A strong GDP indicates economic growth, increasing currency demand. Inflation Rate – High inflation can devalue a currency unless matched by interest rate hikes. Unemployment Rate – Lower unemployment signals economic strength, supporting currency appreciation. Trade Balance – A trade surplus strengthens a currency, while a deficit can weaken it. 2.2 Central Bank Policies Central banks control money supply, influencing currency strength: Interest Rates – Higher rates attract foreign capital, boosting currency value. Quantitative Easing (QE) – Increases money supply, often weakening the currency. Interventions – Direct buying or selling of currencies to stabilize markets. 2.3 Geopolitical Events Political stability and global events create volatility: Elections, trade wars, sanctions, or conflicts can cause sharp currency swings. Brexit in 2016 caused significant GBP volatility due to uncertainty. 2.4 Market Sentiment Market psychology affects short-term price action: Traders’ perception of risk vs. safety drives flows into risk-on or risk-off currencies. Safe-haven currencies like USD, JPY, and CHF rise during global uncertainty. 3. Types of Forex Market Analysis 3.1 Fundamental Analysis Fundamental analysis evaluates a currency’s intrinsic value by studying economic indicators, political stability, and monetary policies. Example: If the US Federal Reserve signals a rate hike while the European Central Bank maintains low rates, the USD may strengthen against the EUR. Long-term trends are usually driven by fundamentals. Traders rely on economic calendars to track critical releases like NFP (Non-Farm Payrolls), CPI (Consumer Price Index), and interest rate decisions. Advantages: Predicts long-term trends. Useful for carry trades (earning interest rate differentials). Limitations: Short-term volatility can override fundamentals. Requires continuous monitoring of global developments. 3.2 Technical Analysis Technical analysis studies past price movements to forecast future trends using charts and indicators. Chart Patterns: Head and shoulders, double tops/bottoms, triangles, flags. Trend Analysis: Identifying upward, downward, or sideways trends. Indicators: Moving Averages, RSI (Relative Strength Index), MACD, Bollinger Bands. Support & Resistance Levels: Key zones where prices often reverse. Advantages: Works for short-term and intraday trading. Provides entry, exit, and stop-loss levels. Limitations: Can be misleading during extreme news events. Requires discipline and risk management to avoid overtrading. 3.3 Sentiment Analysis Sentiment analysis gauges trader behavior and market positioning: Commitment of Traders (COT) Reports: Show positions of commercial and speculative traders. Retail Sentiment: Broker platforms provide data on long vs. short positions. Market sentiment can create contrarian trading opportunities when the majority is overly bullish or bearish. 4. Popular Forex Trading Strategies 4.1 Trend Following Trades with the market trend (uptrend or downtrend). Tools: Moving averages, trendlines, MACD. Best for markets with strong directional movement. 4.2 Range Trading Buying near support and selling near resistance in sideways markets. Tools: RSI, Bollinger Bands, support/resistance zones. Suitable for low volatility periods. 4.3 Breakout Trading Trading when price breaks key support/resistance levels. Tools: Volume indicators, volatility measures. Can capture strong momentum but carries higher risk of false breakouts. 4.4 Carry Trade Borrowing in low-interest currency and investing in high-interest currency. Profitable when interest rate differentials are stable. Sensitive to sudden volatility and geopolitical risks. 4.5 Scalping Short-term trading aiming for small profits per trade. Requires high liquidity, tight spreads, and fast execution. 5. Risk Management in Forex Risk management is crucial due to high leverage (up to 1:500 in some brokers): Position Sizing: Avoid risking more than 1–2% of capital per trade. Stop-Loss Orders: Limit losses on adverse moves. Take-Profit Orders: Secure gains when price reaches target. Diversification: Avoid concentrating on a single currency pair. Leverage Control: Use leverage responsibly to prevent margin calls. Emotional discipline is also vital. Overtrading and revenge trading often result from poor risk management. 6. Market Trends and Recent Developments The Forex market is influenced by evolving global conditions: US Dollar Dominance: USD remains the reserve currency, heavily influencing global liquidity. Emerging Market Currencies: Currencies like INR, BRL, and TRY are more volatile but offer higher returns. Cryptocurrency Influence: Bitcoin and stablecoins are increasingly part of global liquidity dynamics. Geopolitical Risks: Trade wars, sanctions, and conflicts continue to impact currency correlations. Example: In 2025, tightening US monetary policy and European energy crises caused significant EUR/USD volatility. Similarly, USD/INR movements have been sensitive to RBI policy and global oil prices. 7. Tools and Resources for Forex Analysis Traders rely on both platforms and data for analysis: Trading Platforms: MetaTrader 4/5, cTrader, NinjaTrader for charting and execution. Economic Calendars: Forex Factory, Investing.com, DailyFX. News Sources: Bloomberg, Reuters, Financial Times. Analytical Tools: Autochartist, TradingView, and AI-powered signals. Combining tools ensures informed decision-making, blending both technical and fundamental perspectives. 8. Psychological Aspects of Forex Trading Trading success is not only analytical but psychological: Discipline: Stick to a trading plan without impulsive decisions. Patience: Wait for high-probability setups. Emotional Control: Fear and greed can cloud judgment. Consistency: Focus on long-term profitability rather than short-term gains. Experienced traders often maintain journals, track performance metrics, and review mistakes for continuous improvement. 9. Conclusion Forex market analysis is a multidimensional process involving economic, technical, and psychological factors. Successful trading requires: Understanding global macroeconomic conditions and central bank policies. Applying technical tools to identify trends, support/resistance, and price patterns. Analyzing market sentiment to gauge trader behavior. Implementing disciplined risk management and emotional control. The Forex market’s 24-hour nature, high liquidity, and global integration present both immense opportunities and risks. By combining analytical rigor with strategic discipline, traders can navigate this dynamic market and enhance profitability. In essence, Forex analysis is an ongoing learning journey. Traders who consistently integrate market data, adopt structured strategies, and maintain disciplined risk management can achieve sustainable success in the ever-evolving foreign exchange landscape.

META Slips Toward $710 – Bearish Gamma Pressures Build (Oct 2)Intraday (15-Min Chart) Meta faced heavy selling pressure, sliding into the $718–$719 area after failing to hold higher levels. On the 15-min chart, the stock is caught in a descending wedge, attempting to stabilize but with momentum still fragile. MACD remains in negative territory, while Stoch RSI is curling back up from oversold, hinting at a short-term relief bounce. * Resistance zones: $721.8 and $734.3 overhead. * Support levels: $716.3 first, then $710.2 as the key near-term floor. * Upside trigger: A breakout above $722 could spark a recovery push toward 730–735. * Downside risk: Loss of $710 exposes deeper downside toward 705–700. Bias intraday: still heavy; META must reclaim above 722 to avoid continued selling. Options / GEX (1-Hour Chart) Gamma positioning reinforces the bearish tone. * Negative GEX concentration: $715 is highlighted as the highest negative gamma zone, acting as a magnet for dealers to keep pressure lower. * Put walls: Stacked at $725, $720, and deeper at $705, confirming downside support zones. * Call walls: Light resistance sits higher at $750 and $755, but flow is weak. * Sentiment: Call positioning is only ~30%, showing options traders are skewed bearish. This structure suggests META remains under gamma drag — unless price can reclaim 730+, downside remains favored with $710 as a battleground. My Thoughts For Oct 2, META is in a vulnerable spot. Intraday scalps lean bearish under $722, with downside targets at $716 and $710. For options traders, the setup favors put spreads targeting 710–705, while aggressive longs would need a breakout above 730 to regain control. Bias: META remains weak; $710 is the critical pivot. Break it, and bears push harder. Hold it, and a relief rally may form. Disclaimer: This analysis is for educational purposes only and does not constitute financial advice. Always do your own research and manage risk before trading.

META Correction in 2026 I bought Facebook after their busted IPO and made about 5x and 10x on parts of my money. I should have held so I could have bought half of Wisconsin. My bad. I don't love Zuck, but the public can't quit Facebook, or Instagram, or Messenger, or Whatsapp... and I think META is in the oligopoly of AI, VR & AR that is developing. Mega caps are stretched and financing issues for AI will cause a hiccup at some point. I think 2026, year 2 of the Presidential cycle, is the year of hiccups. I would buy META in the $400s - lower if there's a wider global credit crisis.

The Dynamics of the Global Metals MarketIntroduction The metals market plays a fundamental role in the global economy, serving as the backbone of industrial production, infrastructure development, technological innovation, and trade. From construction and automotive manufacturing to electronics and renewable energy systems, metals such as iron, copper, aluminum, nickel, and precious metals like gold and silver are indispensable. The metals market operates through a complex network of producers, traders, investors, and consumers, driven by global supply-demand dynamics, price fluctuations, and geopolitical influences. Understanding how the metals market works requires examining the intricate mechanisms that govern mining, refining, pricing, trading, and consumption. This essay explores the structure, participants, and economic functions of the global metals market, with special emphasis on commodity exchanges, price formation, market trends, investment dynamics, and the influence of global factors such as industrialization, technological change, and sustainability transitions. 1. Structure of the Global Metals Market 1.1 Primary and Secondary Metals Markets The metals market can be broadly categorized into two segments — the primary market, which deals with newly mined and refined metals, and the secondary market, which focuses on recycled or scrap metals. Primary Metals Market: The primary market begins with mining operations where raw ores are extracted from the earth. These ores undergo processing and refining to produce pure metals or alloys. The primary market includes large-scale mining corporations such as BHP, Rio Tinto, and Vale, which dominate global production of metals like iron ore, copper, and aluminum. Secondary Metals Market: The secondary market handles recycling and reprocessing of scrap metals. It plays a critical role in promoting sustainability and reducing the carbon footprint of the metals industry. For example, recycled aluminum requires only about 5% of the energy needed to produce new aluminum from bauxite ore. 1.2 Classification by Metal Type Metals are also classified into three categories based on their properties and uses: Base Metals: Common metals such as copper, aluminum, zinc, lead, and nickel. These are widely used in construction, manufacturing, and energy. Precious Metals: Metals like gold, silver, platinum, and palladium, valued for rarity, aesthetic appeal, and use as a store of value. Ferrous and Non-Ferrous Metals: Ferrous metals contain iron (e.g., steel, cast iron), while non-ferrous metals do not (e.g., copper, aluminum, tin). Ferrous metals dominate in heavy industries, while non-ferrous metals are vital in electrical and transportation sectors. 2. Key Participants in the Metals Market The metals market involves diverse participants with different roles, motivations, and time horizons. These include: 2.1 Producers Producers are mining and refining companies responsible for the extraction and processing of metal ores. They include global giants like Glencore, Rio Tinto, BHP, and Norilsk Nickel. Producers influence market supply levels, production costs, and long-term investment trends. 2.2 Consumers Consumers of metals include manufacturing industries such as: Construction (steel, aluminum) Automotive (steel, nickel, aluminum) Electronics (copper, gold, silver) Energy (copper, nickel, lithium for batteries) China is the world’s largest consumer of metals, accounting for over 50% of global demand for key industrial metals due to its rapid industrialization and urbanization. 2.3 Traders and Intermediaries Traders facilitate the buying and selling of metals on global commodity exchanges. They include physical traders (handling actual shipments) and financial traders (speculating through derivatives such as futures and options). Major trading hubs include London, New York, Shanghai, and Singapore. 2.4 Investors and Speculators Investment funds, hedge funds, and retail investors participate in metals markets for diversification or speculative purposes. They use financial instruments such as exchange-traded funds (ETFs), futures contracts, and options to gain exposure to metal prices. 2.5 Governments and Regulators Governments play a key role through regulation, taxation, export controls, and strategic reserves. For example, China’s control over rare earth metals impacts global supply chains, while the U.S. maintains a strategic stockpile of critical minerals for defense and technology. 3. Mechanisms of Metal Trading 3.1 Physical Market vs. Paper Market The metals market operates through two interconnected segments: Physical Market: Involves the actual buying, selling, and shipment of metals in various forms — ingots, sheets, rods, or concentrates. Pricing is based on spot market rates. Paper Market: Involves financial contracts such as futures, forwards, and options that represent a promise to deliver or receive a metal at a future date. These are traded on exchanges like the London Metal Exchange (LME), Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME), and Shanghai Futures Exchange (SHFE). 3.2 Commodity Exchanges The London Metal Exchange (LME) is the world’s largest market for base metals trading. It sets global benchmark prices for metals such as copper, aluminum, and zinc. Trading occurs through: Ring trading (open outcry), Electronic trading, and Over-the-counter (OTC) contracts. Each exchange provides transparency, liquidity, and standardized contracts that enable producers, consumers, and investors to hedge against price risks. 3.3 Price Discovery and Benchmarking Metal prices are determined by global supply and demand but are standardized through benchmark pricing. LME prices often serve as global benchmarks. Prices are influenced by: Mining output Industrial demand Energy costs Inventory levels Geopolitical events Currency fluctuations (especially the U.S. dollar) 4. Price Formation and Market Influences 4.1 Supply-Side Factors Mining Output and Reserves: Mining disruptions due to strikes, natural disasters, or regulatory issues can reduce supply. Energy Costs: Metal production is energy-intensive; fluctuations in oil and electricity prices directly affect costs. Technological Advancements: Innovations in mining and recycling improve efficiency and lower production costs. 4.2 Demand-Side Factors Industrialization and Infrastructure: Economic growth in developing countries increases demand for steel, copper, and aluminum. Technology and Electrification: The rise of electric vehicles (EVs) and renewable energy systems has boosted demand for copper, nickel, and lithium. Consumer Preferences: Shifts toward sustainable and green technologies influence metal consumption patterns. 4.3 Macroeconomic and Financial Factors Interest Rates and Inflation: Metals often serve as inflation hedges; high inflation or low interest rates drive investment demand. Currency Movements: Metals are priced in U.S. dollars, so a weaker dollar generally boosts metal prices. Global Trade Policies: Tariffs, export bans, and sanctions can distort trade flows and pricing. 4.4 Geopolitical and Environmental Influences Geopolitical Tensions: Conflicts or trade wars can disrupt supply chains. For example, sanctions on Russian nickel and aluminum affected global markets. Environmental Regulations: Stricter emissions standards and sustainability targets affect mining operations and recycling initiatives. 5. Metals as Investment Assets 5.1 Precious Metals as Safe Havens Gold and silver are traditional safe-haven assets. During economic uncertainty or financial crises, investors turn to these metals to preserve value. Central banks also hold gold reserves as part of their monetary policy tools. 5.2 Industrial Metals and Economic Growth Industrial metals such as copper, aluminum, and nickel are considered barometers of global economic health. Rising prices often signal industrial expansion, while declining prices indicate economic slowdown. 5.3 Investment Instruments Investors can gain exposure to metals through: Physical bullion and coins Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) Mining company stocks Futures and options Commodity index funds 5.4 Hedging and Risk Management Manufacturers and producers use metal derivatives to hedge against price fluctuations. For example, an airline company may hedge aluminum prices to stabilize aircraft production costs. 6. Sustainability and the Future of Metals 6.1 Green Transition and Critical Minerals The global shift toward renewable energy and electric vehicles has created unprecedented demand for critical minerals such as lithium, cobalt, nickel, and rare earth elements. These metals are vital for batteries, solar panels, and wind turbines. 6.2 Circular Economy and Recycling Recycling metals reduces environmental impact, lowers production costs, and supports the circular economy. Technological advances in metal recovery are making recycling increasingly efficient and profitable. 6.3 ESG and Responsible Mining Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles are reshaping the metals industry. Investors now demand transparency on carbon emissions, labor practices, and biodiversity impacts. Companies failing to meet ESG standards face reputational and financial risks. 6.4 Technological Innovations Automation and AI in mining enhance safety and efficiency. Blockchain technology is improving supply chain traceability. Hydrogen-based steel production promises low-carbon alternatives to traditional blast furnaces. 7. Case Studies in the Metals Market 7.1 Copper Market Dynamics Copper is known as “Dr. Copper” because its price movements reflect global economic health. The rise of electric vehicles and renewable infrastructure has significantly increased copper demand. Supply bottlenecks in Chile and Peru, which together account for nearly 40% of world production, often create price volatility. 7.2 Aluminum and Energy Dependence Aluminum smelting is highly energy-intensive, making it sensitive to electricity prices. Energy crises, such as the one in Europe in 2022, led to major production cuts and higher aluminum prices worldwide. 7.3 Gold and Monetary Policy Gold prices are heavily influenced by monetary policy, particularly interest rate decisions by the U.S. Federal Reserve. During periods of economic uncertainty, investors move from equities to gold, driving up demand. 7.4 Rare Earth Metals and Geopolitics China’s dominance in rare earth metal production (over 80% of global supply) gives it strategic leverage in global technology and defense industries. The U.S. and EU have since accelerated efforts to diversify supply sources. 8. Challenges and Risks in the Metals Market 8.1 Price Volatility The metals market is inherently volatile due to its sensitivity to macroeconomic and geopolitical developments. Sudden price swings can affect profitability for producers and manufacturers. 8.2 Environmental Concerns Mining and metal processing contribute to deforestation, water pollution, and greenhouse gas emissions. Transitioning to sustainable mining practices is both a challenge and necessity. 8.3 Resource Nationalism Countries rich in mineral resources often impose export restrictions or higher taxes to retain more value domestically. This can disrupt global supply chains. 8.4 Technological Disruption Advances in materials science, such as graphene or alternative composites, may reduce reliance on certain metals, altering long-term demand patterns. 9. The Future Outlook of Metals Markets The coming decades are expected to bring profound shifts in the metals industry: Electrification and Energy Transition: Demand for copper, lithium, nickel, and cobalt will continue to soar as the world moves toward clean energy systems. Digitalization: AI, IoT, and blockchain will enhance transparency and efficiency in metal trading and logistics. Supply Chain Diversification: Countries will seek to reduce dependence on single suppliers, leading to new mining projects in Africa, South America, and Southeast Asia. Recycling Revolution: Technological innovation in recycling will make secondary metal markets increasingly competitive. Carbon Neutrality Goals: The push toward net-zero emissions will reshape production methods and pricing structures across the industry. Conclusion The metals market is a dynamic and essential component of the global economy. It integrates the forces of production, consumption, finance, and geopolitics into a vast network that underpins industrial and technological progress. Understanding how the metals market works requires a comprehensive view of its structure, participants, pricing mechanisms, and global interdependencies. As the world transitions toward a sustainable and digital future, the metals market faces both immense challenges and opportunities. The rise of renewable energy, electric mobility, and green technologies will redefine demand for critical minerals. Meanwhile, innovations in recycling, ESG governance, and digital trading platforms promise to make the industry more efficient and transparent. Ultimately, the metals market is not merely a trading arena but a mirror of human progress — reflecting the evolution of civilization, the rhythm of industrial growth, and the aspirations of a planet striving toward sustainability and prosperity.

META - Forming bearish head and shouldersAbout 3 months back NASDAQ:META formed a double top . In the first try, it broke through the double top resistance, but the price couldn’t quite escape the broken level . Then, it came back and tested below the broken line . It broke it again and formed a second double top ! Now, the price is under the first double top , which shows pretty weak price actions. And it’s also starting to form a bearish head and shoulders formation. So, here are my potential price targets for the next 9 months: 681 , 623 , and 584 .

Meta — Back to the FutureNASDAQ:META After testing the strong support zone around $707–710, NASDAQ:META shows signs of a potential rebound — the same zone that triggered a rally in July. Technical view: • Price bounced from a high-volume area (VRVP) and closed above HMA(9) near $709. • MACD lines are converging, suggesting a possible bullish crossover ahead. • Next resistance levels: $729 → $743 → $785. • As long as price stays above $710, the recovery scenario remains valid. NASDAQ:META might be setting up for a multi-wave rebound toward the upper resistance zone — a “Back to the Future” moment as bulls try to reclaim lost momentum. ⚠️ Key risk: prolonged consolidation below $710 could delay the move.

META OCT 2025META 4H: Price is rebounding from the 700–712 demand zone after a sharp selloff. Reclaiming 707–715 would favor a gap-fill push. Overhead supply remains heavy at 750–770 (prior distribution/“14B sold” area). If buyers fail to absorb around 700, watch for a slide toward deeper supports. Institutional read: Distribution visible between 750–770; potential absorption if 700–712 holds. Gap window 707–765 is the pivot for momentum. Targets: Upside: 750 first, extension 770 if gap fills. Downside: 680 first, then 650; breakdown opens 610 gap-support. #META #globaltrade #investment #investing #stockmarket #wealth #realestate #markets #economy #finance #money #forex #trading #price #business #currency #blockchain #crypto #cryptocurrency #airdrop #btc #ethereum #ico #altcoin #cryptonews #Bitcoin #ipo

$META: Short-Term Neutral/Bullish, but ...bear traders still have opportunity to make more money. The Bear Call Spread is the patient, high-probability play: Wait for the Automatic Rally to bounce to the ~$755-$765 resistance area, then enter the spread. The Calendar Put Spread is a way to establish the bearish position now while using the expected bounce to help pay for the trade. Price has now returned to the scene of the original crime—the ~$710 support level that marked the bottom of the entire trading range.

META Oct. 1 – Sitting on Support, Breakout or Breakdown Next?Intraday View (15-Min Chart) META dropped sharply early and has since consolidated around $733 inside a tightening wedge. Sellers remain active, but support is holding near $727–$730 for now. * Support Levels: $733.00, $727.52, $726.41 * Resistance Levels: $737.07, $743.40, $745.99 * Indicators: MACD still red but flattening out, showing momentum cooling. Stoch RSI near oversold, hinting at a potential relief bounce. 📌 Intraday Thought (Oct. 1): If $733 holds, META could rebound toward $737–$745. A breakdown under $727 risks a drop toward $720. Scalpers can lean long on $733 support with stops tight, or fade into $743–$745 if price rejects. Options & Swing View (1H + GEX) \ Gamma exposure shows where the flows matter: * Upside: Large call walls stacked at $745–$755, with extension toward $760–$770. * Downside: Strong put support anchored at $727–$720, deeper protection at $715. This keeps META boxed between $727–$745 short term. A breakout over $745 could fuel a run toward $755–$760, while losing $727 risks accelerating downside toward $720 or even $715. * Bullish Play (Oct. 1): Calls or spreads targeting $755–$760 if $745 breaks with volume. * Bearish Hedge: Puts toward $727 → $720 if support gives way. * Neutral Play: Iron condor between $727–$745 to capture premium in range. My Thoughts (Oct. 1) META is in a decision zone with $733 holding as a pivot. The chart shows compression under the wedge trendline—if $745 is reclaimed, momentum opens quickly to the upside. But losing $727 would signal continuation of weakness. I’d stay patient and let price confirm at either $745 breakout or $727 breakdown.
