Facebook’s stock (Meta platforms) closed below the 50-period simple moving average (SMA) in the four-hour for the first time since November 2022, increasing the risk for a bearish continuation ahead of the company’s earnings due today after the closing bell.
While the price attempted to bounce from the one-month low of 206.10 earlier today, the channel’s broken lower trendline came to block the way near 212. The momentum indicators have not shown significant improvement either, with the RSI remaining below its 50 neutral mark and the MACD hovering marginally below its red signal line. Meanwhile, the stochastic oscillator follows a flat trajectory, adding little optimism for a meaningful rally.
Should downside pressures resurface below 206, the price may aggressively tumble towards the 196.65-192.50 region, which has been a key constraining zone since February. Another step lower could add more fuel to the sell-off, sending the price to 180.40 or down to 175.60, where the long-term support trendline from the 2015 lows is positioned.
On the upside, an advance above the resistance trendline and the 20-period SMA at 214.50 is required to lift the price up to April’s high of 221. A significant move higher could last until the resistance line at 237.00. Strikingly, the latter overlaps with the April 2022 peak.
In brief, Facebook’s (Meta) short-term bias remains skewed to the downside. Failure to climb back above the 20-period SMA and the 214.50 level could motivate more selling.
