Catalysts

  • META is in a confirmed downtrend across all timeframes (short, medium, and long-term) as price trades below both the 50- and 200-day SMAs.
  • Momentum indicators are uniformly bearish: RSI below 50 and declining, MACD deeply negative and widening — no reversal signals have appeared.
  • Volatility is elevated, with ATR expanding 30% above late-May levels, suggesting the sell-off may not yet be exhausted.

Risks

  • Event-driven repricing risk if expectations diverge from incoming evidence.
