Scoop up Meta Platforms ahead of support?

Tuesday, August 29, 2023

Despite Fed Chairman Jerome Powell reiterating that interest rates could rise further, the S&P 500 shrugged off the negativity and closed higher on Aug. 25. And as the U.S. GDP growth holds up despite the rapid rise in borrowing costs, stocks can prosper if a soft landing unfolds. So, should you bet on a recovery and buy the pullback in Meta Platforms?
Wedbush analysts placed an outperform rating on Meta Platforms on Aug. 22, writing that “eCommerce and advertising post-COVID growth rates are bottoming and the underlying secular growth trends underpinning the industry should re-appear in coming quarters.”
“We expect global eCommerce growth to return to ~10%+ levels and digital advertising to a similar 10%-12% in the coming year. In addition, we expect AI to become a growth stimulant for consumer technology over the next 2-5 years.”

If the fundamental predictions prove prescient, Meta Platforms could provide immense value at these levels. The stock is inching closer to its 20-week moving average, and the blue line has been a major support and resistance level over the last few years.

 

Moreover, when the stock broke below the 20-week MA in January 2021, it found support near the late 2020 closing lows. As a similar setup now presents itself, a breakdown below the 20-week MA of $272.15 would put next-level support near $250.

 

With Meta Platforms ending the Aug. 25 session down by nearly 13% from its 2023 high, is this a buying opportunity?

Investing in CFDs involves a high degree of risk that you will lose your money due to the use of leverage, particularly in fast moving markets, where a relatively small movement in the price can lead to a proportionately larger movement in the value of your investment. This can result in loses that exceed the funds in your account. You should consider whether you understand how CFDs work and you should seek independent advice if necessary.
