Meta Platforms pulled back along with other growth stocks in August. But now some traders may look for its uptrend to continue.
The first pattern on today’s chart is the 50-day simple moving average (SMA). The recent dip was META’s first pullback to this line all year.
Next is the series of higher lows since August 25. Prices have simultaneously pushed against the $299 area where they got rejected on August 24. That combination of higher lows and upside resistance could be viewed as an ascending triangle -- a potentially bullish continuation pattern.
Third, Bollinger Bandwidth has contracted to its tightest range since late May. Does that open the door to potential price expansion?
Finally, MACD recently turned upward.
