Bottom line

META Technical Analysis Summary

META trades at 590.24 as of the August 3, 2026 daily cutoff, well below the 52-week high of 793.65 and near the lower part of its 52-week range at a 25.73% position. The daily trend is weak with price below SMA20 (620.30), SMA50 (601.71), and SMA200 (633.00), RSI14 at 46.97 below the neutral 50, and a negative MACD histogram of -8.63. The weekly picture is also soft with price at 556.71 below the weekly SMA20 (604.64) and SMA50 (647.27) but above SMA200 (475.90), while the weekly MACD histogram is barely positive at 0.22. The latest daily bar gained 6.02% with above-average volume, hinting at a bounce attempt after price tested the 20/60-day low of 524.49, which sits just above the 52-week low of 519.78. Key support is at 524.49 with 519.78 below it. Resistance sits at SMA50 (601.71) and SMA200 (633.00), then the 20/60-day high at 686.08.

Daily (August 3, 2026)

Trend
Mixed to bearish. Price at 590.24 is below SMA20 (620.30), SMA50 (601.71), and SMA200 (633.00), reflecting the sharp pullback from the 52-week high of 793.65. SMA20 sits above SMA50, so the recent decline has pushed price under the short-term averages, and the SMA200 at 633.00 has turned into overhead resistance.
Momentum
Weak. RSI14 at 46.97 is below the neutral 50 level, showing soft momentum without extreme oversold conditions. MACD at -9.14 is below the signal line at -0.51 with the histogram at -8.63 negative, pointing to a downside bias after the sharp correction.
Volatility
Elevated. ATR14 at 26.30 (4.46% of price) reflects wide daily ranges consistent with the recent selloff. Bollinger Bands (544.90 to 695.70) are wide, with price trading in the lower portion of the bands.
Volume
Above average. Latest daily volume of 25,896,000 is 133.3% of the 20-period average (19,421,020), indicating active participation on the latest up day.

Assessment

The daily chart shows a sharp correction within a volatile environment. Price is below all three key moving averages, RSI is neutral to soft at 46.97, and the MACD histogram is firmly negative. The latest bar gained 6.02% with above-average volume after price tested the 20/60-day low of 524.49, which sits just above the 52-week low of 519.78. A move back above SMA20 (620.30) would be the first step toward trend repair, while a break below 524.49 would extend the downtrend.

Weekly (July 27, 2026 week)

Trend
Mixed with long-term uptrend intact. Price at 556.71 is below SMA20 (604.64) and SMA50 (647.27) but above SMA200 (475.90). The SMA50 remains above SMA200, keeping the multi-year uptrend structure intact despite the sharp pullback. The 252-week return of +63.73% reflects the strong long-term advance.
Momentum
Weak to neutral. RSI14 at 43.07 is below the neutral 50 level. MACD at -13.03 is below the zero line but slightly above the signal line at -13.25, with the histogram at 0.22 barely positive, suggesting momentum is stabilizing after the decline.
Volatility
Elevated. ATR14 at 56.27 (10.11% of price) reflects wide weekly ranges during the correction. Bollinger Bands (521.30 to 687.98) are wide, with price in the lower portion of the bands.
Volume
Above average. Weekly volume of 112,108,700 is 130.8% of the 20-week average (85,726,595), indicating elevated participation during the pullback week.

Assessment

The weekly chart confirms that the correction is playing out on the higher timeframe as well. Price is below the weekly SMA20 and SMA50 but remains above the rising SMA200 (475.90), preserving the long-term uptrend. The barely positive MACD histogram and price sitting at a 13.49% position in the 52-week range suggest the pullback has not yet reached an extreme oversold state, but the burden of proof for a durable recovery rests on reclaiming the weekly SMA20 at 604.64.
