META Weekly Options Trade Plan 2025-04-16META Weekly Analysis Summary (2025-04-16)
Below is a synthesis of the analyses from all the models and a corresponding actionable trade idea:
──────────────────────────────
Comprehensive Summary of Each Model’s Key Points
• Grok/xAI Report – Noted that META’s price is well below its moving averages with a bearish MACD and near oversold RSI on the M5 chart. – Emphasized downside pressure with heavy put volume and a max pain at $540. – Recommended a bearish weekly trade with an emphasis on buying a put option—in their case, the $485 strike.
• Claude/Anthropic Report – Highlighted sustained downtrend (–13% over 5 days, –22% over 30 days) and all key EMAs trending lower. – Confirmed technical weakness with bearish MACD crossovers and RSI readings on both 5‐min and daily charts, despite a hint of potential short-term bounces. – Suggested buying a put option (their primary suggestion centered around a $480 put, though they mention liquidity and risk using nearby strikes).
• Gemini/Google Report – Noted that although META’s price touched lower Bollinger Bands and the RSI is near oversold territory, the dominant trend is bearish. – Confirmed heavy put open interest and significant recent declines. – Proposed a weekly trade buying put options near the $482.50 strike (ask ~$0.55) as the best balance between cost and risk/reward.
• Llama/Meta Report – Reiterated that technical indicators (price, EMAs, MACD, and Bollinger Bands) show a moderately bearish environment. – Favored the $482.50 put option with an ask around $0.55 because it fits within the ideal premium range and provides sound liquidity. • DeepSeek Report – Pointed to a sustained downtrend with consistent bearish signals on both the technical and sentiment fronts. – Recommended a weekly bearish put trade—selecting closely between a $485 or $482.50 strike—with defined risk targets.
────────────────────────────── 2. Areas of Agreement and Disagreement Between Models
• Points of Agreement – Every model sees META trading in a moderately bearish environment, with price action well below key moving averages and bearish MACD/Rsi signals. – All reports confirm that the short-term sentiment (supported by high volatility measured in VIX and heavy put open interest) leans toward further downside. – All agree that a weekly options trade is appropriate—and each favors a put option trade with strikes in the low-to-mid 480s range. – Liquidity and risk/reward are key, with the models collectively favoring strikes whose premiums fall in or near the ideal $0.30–$0.60 range.
• Points of Disagreement – There is a slight difference in strike selection: recommendations ranged between the $480, $482.50, and $485 puts. – Some emphasis was placed on avoiding a near-term bounce (with stop‐losses set at different levels); however, the differing exit strategies are minor and stem mostly from risk tolerance variations rather than a fundamental disagreement on the bearish bias.
────────────────────────────── 3. Clear Conclusion & Trade Recommendation
Overall Market Direction Consensus: All models converge on the view that META’s short‐term outlook is moderately bearish with technical indicators (price below major EMAs, bearish MACD, and relatively low RSI levels) coupled with the high-volatility environment pointing toward further decline.
Recommended Trade: • Instrument: META weekly options • Strategy: Buy single-leg, naked put options • Expiration: Weekly options expiring on 2025‑04‑17 • Selected Option: The $482.50 put (with an ask of ~$0.55) is favored. It offers a premium within the ideal range, and its “distance” of about 5.3% below current price fits a downward scenario. • Entry Timing: At market open • Risk/Reward Guidance: We target roughly a 100% gain (profit target around $1.10) on the premium while protecting with a stop-loss around $0.30 if the premium erodes significantly. • Confidence Level: 70% • Key Risks and Considerations: – A near-term bounce or oversold reversal (as indicated by the RSI and Bollinger Bands) could force a premature exit. – The max pain level of $540, while distant, is noted but considered less significant given the strong technical weakness. – Market volatility remains high; hence, strict adherence to the stop-loss is recommended to limit adverse moves.

META short term top at $750?I've been watching people on Twitter trying to short meta all week and get squeezed.
META has had a really strong move over the past few weeks and is now in parabolic blow off top stage, however, I think the run comes to an end between here $738 and $752.
I'll be buying puts if price can reach $750-752. Not trying to short it below that level.
meta going downanother trillion market cap companie, as the rest of them all apart of msft that has head and shoulders, all of them have the same pattern, an perfect droping in price pattern, that has the major indexes as well, so a coming drop in price is comming, if not corrected in the next days, going up a lot and in the thecnical indicators, because all of my technical indicatpors has a big divergence on the price and the indicator value, causing an sentiment of eminent drop in price,
again do your research, this is not an investment idea, this is only my point of view, that the market is in a eminent drop in value, that can sp500 reach 2300 points again,
do your research, and do your investment as your research says what you found out, but this is my point of view,
Short $META at $350 down to $81 targetLike many of the other tech stocks META looks extended here.
I could see one more move up into the $350 region, and if it hits there, I think that sets up a good short opportunity.
Lots of people saying we're starting a new bull trend, but what makes me think that's not true?
In a bull trend, you see a slow rise up, not a 300% bounce in a year. That indicates to me that this move has been corrective and not impulsive.
I think we're nearing a top and once we hit it, I think it'll be a fast decline down to the $81 target on the chart.
I'll be playing this move through options w/ expiry into late 2024/early 2025
META BUYHello, according to my analysis of Facebook stock. There is a good opportunity to buy. We note that the stock has penetrated the ascending channel. Strong resistance at 330 level has been broken. All these indicators point to buyers taking control. Inventory is for purchase only. Good luck everyone.
META Reversal Incoming (1D)META Daily
Price Chart
META has been in a relatively straight uptrend since bottoming out in November of 2022 but has recently just touched a level of high resistance with increased selling volume. This rally has come with the three gaps theory (Highlighted White) beginning with the breakaway gap in February 2022 and ending with the exhaustion gap back in July; both verified with increased volume. Following this theory the first sign of a reversal is the exhaustion gap being filled, which has just happened, however it's not a definitive sign. This is accompanied by another small break in the major trend line (Yellow Solid) and the first close below the 26-day EMA on 8/11 since the rally started. The EMA's are beginning to curve down (12-day) or flatten out (26-day and 50-day), so if we do get a 26-day / 50-day cross the targets below (Light Green Boxes) will cine into play.
Relative Strength Indicator
Most notably on the RSI is the recent bearish divergence (Aqua Solid), but this also occurred in the months prior and did not break down, why? Price action never broke below even the 12-day EMA and the RSI's second peak was above the 70 level while remaining elevated afterwards (Highlighted Aqua) indicating the strength of the trend; the higher the RSI the stronger the trend. The most recent bearish divergence saw the second peak of the RSI top out just below the 70 line and move lower to touch the 50 line; so do we break down? A bounce is definitely possible, which would also most likely push the price action to form a head and shoulders here, however this is the longest time in the history of META that RSI has remained above the 50; After checking, the only time it comes close is when multiple spikes below the 50 are present. The argument here is for a break below the 50 and strengthening the chance of a change in direction.
On Balance Volume
OBV has been in a upwards channel since March and has offset the prior bearish RSI divergence with using it's peak as support (Aqua Solid), which has just occurred again in the past several days. These small support levels also accompany a new a high made back in July, but has since fallen below it. If it does push higher it's technically in a "price discovery" environment, but with the factors above taken into consideration a signal of a reversal should be imminent; target supports (Light Green Boxes) are outlined below if this happens.
TDLR;
Why read the book when you can Google the sparknotes amirite? Seems Legit. Anyway, price action has completed a third gap (exhaustion) and has pushed lower to fill it (not a reversal conformation). EMA's are beginning to curve down or even out and the price has it's first close below the 26-day (on 8/11) since the rally began in Feb 2022. RSI has formed a another bearish divergence after previously failing to abide by the laws of bearish divergence; we swear it's going to work this time. It's also notable that this is longest length of time that the RSI has remained above the 50 level; like, not even a spike down, deng. OBV on the other hand is chugging along in it's channel like nothing is wrong using previous peaks as supports and has even made a new high.
What Seems Legit?
A reversal soon, if not from the most recent bearish divergence then possibly from a head and shoulders pattern. Basically looking for everything to break down at the same time, but a small is possible since the indicators are a bit mixed. The price is wrong Bob, come on down.

There is no clear indication that the downward move is coming to an end.
This is curremtly an actively traded stock.
108.32 has been pivotal.
A break of the recent low at 108.32 should result in a further move lower.
Our overall sentiment remains bearish looking for lower levels.
Our profit targets will be 91.04 and 88.04
Resistance: 126.40 / 134.00 / 142.00

Financial Wave. META-FacebookIt became interesting for us to consider the state of Meta. Unlike Twitter, Meta's outlook looks pessimistic.
Our preferable scenario is the continuation of the downtrend, the price may rebound to the range of $190-250, after which the downward movement will continue. The fall may resume without a rebound, the target level is $60. In case of growth above $250, the downward scenario will be cancelled.
Meta still got downside to come to $40 JUST IN: Mark Zuckerberg has announced that Meta will be laying off 11,000 of its employees —
an estimated 13% of its workforce — and will also be taking “a number of additional steps to become a leaner and more efficient company.”
This is a clear indication that since Mark went and focused on building the Metaverse (VR and AR) that this was a risk.
We focused on building Horzons (app) and building Oculus and Metaquest. But clearly the world was not ready for this evolution.
Also with Oculus costing $299 and the new Oculus costing over $500 shows that majority aren't willing to invest in this technology or can't afford it...
I do think the Metaverse will take over one day, but only when technology becomes cheaper and the benefits outweigh the risks... Right now it's a liability to those due to a lack of education
What are your thoughts...
META on the way to $0I doubt the company will allow such a fall, but it has reached our first target at $120.
Looking at the Inverse Cup and Handle, it technically says it is going to $0...
This is when we ask ourselves, how predictable are chart patterns and do you think the company will allow this.
How Low can "Meta" Go?NASDAQ:META
FB reports next week - without belaboring the real lack of value that thing has as a service on their primary properties, I deleted my account 4 years ago and found an extra hour in every day since, but on the business side - their investment in the "metaverse" is going to be horrifically bad. They have spent $10b to $15b on the thing and only a handful of users even make it to month #2 of membership. It is so bad, they struggle to find enough people that actually use the thing to survey for new features as a focus group. More people live in Reno, Nevada (by about triple) then use "New Horizons."

This looks like a safe short.
FB Meta Platforms earnings todayIf you haven`t shorted FB at $341:

Then you should know that even Google`s YouTube was threatened by TikTok rise!
On the other hand a recent leaked documents claim lost control of user data from Facebook.
FB is closer to our buy area of $140-155.
Looking forward to read your opinion about it.
META BEAR FLAG OTW. Bearish on $META below 137 until 123 unless break AND hold above 143. $VIX is also showing bullish context to comfirm this $META bear flag (failure to go lower) @ Weekly level 137. Would take majority of profit off the table at $128.71 because their may be a pullback to retest around 135.
