Trend: EMA 20 / 50 / 200

Bullish, high confidence Week of October 9, 2026

BULLISH — META is above all three weekly EMAs and the stack is bullish (20 > 50 > 200); confidence high.

  • – Relative to EMA20: weekly close is 718.67, which is above EMA20 at 649.44 by 10.66%.
  • – Relative to EMA50: weekly close is 718.67, which is above EMA50 at 637.77 by 12.68%.
  • – Relative to EMA200: weekly close is 718.67, which is above EMA200 at 527.75 by 36.18%.
  • – EMA stack: bullish. The weekly alignment is 20 > 50 > 200, which describes trend structure, not entry timing.
  • – Golden/death cross: nothing was found for the last EMA50/EMA200 cross within the computable window.

What would change this read

  • – A weekly close below EMA20 at 649.44 would break the current “above EMA20” condition.
  • – A weekly close below EMA50 at 637.77 would remove the current “above EMA50” condition.
  • – A breakdown of the bullish stack from 20 > 50 > 200 would change the trend read; nothing in the data shows a prior EMA50/EMA200 cross to anchor a dated reversal signal.

Momentum: MACD (12, 26, 9)

Bullish, high confidence Week of October 9, 2026

BULLISH — MACD at 24.20 is above signal at 7.05 and above zero, with a positive histogram; confidence high.

  • – MACD vs signal line: MACD 24.2041 is above signal 7.0548, which is a bullish posture. The last signal-line crossover was bullish on 2026-08-31, 6 weeks ago.
  • – Histogram: histogram is positive at 17.1493, and the 4-bar change is 1.076, so momentum is accelerating.
  • – Zero line: MACD is above zero. The last zero-line cross was bullish on 2026-09-21, 3 weeks ago. This is separate from the signal-line crossover and confirms the weekly MACD moved above the zero line on a different, more recent event.
  • – Divergence checks: nothing was found in either check. Bearish divergence check last two price pivots: none — 2026-07-06 close 669.21/macd -13.1688 -> 2026-09-21 close 751.66/macd 9.7046. Bullish divergence check last two price pivots: none — 2026-07-27 close 556.71/macd -13.3625 -> 2026-08-17 close 549.9/macd -15.9714.

What would change this read

  • – MACD moving below signal 7.0548 would remove the current bullish MACD-versus-signal posture.
  • – MACD moving below zero would reverse the current above-zero weekly regime.
  • – The histogram turning from positive 17.1493 to negative would show momentum weakening rather than accelerating.

Strength: RSI (14)

Neutral, high confidence Week of October 9, 2026

NEUTRAL — weekly RSI(14) is 59.75, which is neutral and rising, but still below the overbought band; confidence high.

  • – Current weekly RSI(14): 59.75. This is neutral, not overbought and not oversold.
  • – Direction over the last four weeks: 56.52 four weeks ago to 59.75 now, so RSI is rising.
  • – Most recent 70/30 band event: fell back below 70 on 2025-02-17, 86 bars ago.
  • – Divergence checks: nothing was found for bearish divergence; nothing was found for bullish divergence. The reported pivot pairs confirm no divergence: 2026-07-06 close 669.21 / rsi 55.9 to 2026-09-21 close 751.66 / rsi 64.22 for bearish check, and 2026-07-27 close 556.71 / rsi 43.01 to 2026-08-17 close 549.9 / rsi 42.85 for bullish check.

What would change this read

  • – A move back above 70 would change the band state from neutral to overbought.
  • – A move back to 56.52 or lower would reverse the current four-week rising RSI direction.
  • – A new divergence finding would change the current “none” status for either the bearish or bullish check.

Volatility: ATR (14)

Volatility contracting, medium confidence Week of October 9, 2026

CONTRACTING — ATR(14) is 51.72, which is 7.2% of price; the strongest reason is that ATR(14) is below the ATR from 8 bars ago, showing lower weekly volatility now, with medium confidence.

  • – ATR value and meaning: The weekly ATR(14) is 51.72. At 7.2% of the latest weekly close, it means the stock has been moving by a fairly wide amount on a typical week relative to price.
  • – Versus 8 weeks ago: ATR(14) was 53.87 eight bars ago and is now 51.72, so weekly volatility is contracting.
  • – What the bands imply: The 1x ATR band from the close is 666.95 to 770.39, which describes a normal expected weekly movement range around the latest close. The 2x ATR band is 615.22 to 822.12, which describes a wider expected weekly movement range. These are range expectations, not price forecasts.

What would change this read

  • – A move in ATR(14) back above 53.87 would weaken the contracting read.
  • – A move in ATR(14) down from 51.72 would reinforce the contracting read.
  • – Any weekly move that keeps price outside the 1x ATR band of 666.95 to 770.39 would indicate movement beyond the normal weekly range described by the current ATR.

52-week range

Bullish, high confidence Week of October 9, 2026

BULLISH — weekly close is 718.67, which is 76.4% of the way through the 52-week range and only -7.84% from the high; confidence: high.

  • – 52-week high and low: The 52-week high is 779.82, set on 2026-09-21. The 52-week low is 520.26, set on 2026-03-23.
  • – Distance from each extreme: Price sits -7.84% below the 52-week high and 38.14% above the 52-week low.
  • – What the range position says: A 76.4% position in the 52-week range places META in the upper quartile of its longer weekly cycle, closer to the high than the low and indicating strength relative to the full-year range.

What would change this read

  • – A weekly close at 779.82 would put price at the 52-week high and remove the current gap to the top of the range.
  • – A weekly close at 520.26 would put price back at the 52-week low and negate the current upper-range position.
  • – A move back to the midpoint of 650.04 would shift the stock from the upper part of the range toward the center of the weekly cycle.
