Not Much of a Bounce in Meta

The stock market has bounced sharply in the past month, but Meta Platforms hasn’t followed.

The main pattern on today’s chart is the steady succession of lower highs. While the Nasdaq-100 behaved similarly in April, May and early June, the index broke its downtrend by making higher highs in the last two months.

META, in contrast, hit $183.10 before rolling over a week ago. The most recent peak was $0.75 less than its July 21 zenith. In other words, the social-media giant has continued to make lower highs: a key element of a downtrend.

Next, you have the 50-day simple moving average (SMA). It was resistance in April, May and mid-July. Prices have recently managed to return above this line. A move back below may draw bears from the sidelines.

Finally, the stochastics indicator is edging down from an overbought condition.
