If you a take a step back and look at the bigger picture, the uptrend is still intact. Fundamentally, the earnings weren't disastrous. I felt that physiologically, too many people piled into FB in the past few months with a very optimistic view and once they heard a droplet of bad news, they over-reacted and the stock plummeted. However, hindsight is 20/20 but playing earnings is many times like flipping a coin. I've taken advantage of this recent drop and have purchased future dated call options.
