Institutional investors trimmed Meta positions, CFO executed a $36.4 million planned share sale, and a $0.525 per share dividend was declared alongside a strategic AMD AI chip deal.

Shareholder shifts and AI partnerships amid strong revenue gains

Meta reported a 24% year-over-year revenue increase in Q4 2025, supported by robust performance in AI-driven advertising. Institutional movements included significant share reductions by Arrowstreet Capital and Capital Research Global Investors, while CFO Susan Li executed a $36.4 million planned share sale. Meta also announced a dividend of $0.525 per share for holders of record on March 16, payable March 26, alongside an agreement to purchase artificial intelligence chips from Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), with the option to acquire up to a 10% stake in AMD.

Mixed momentum and resistance as bullish price action defies weak signals

The current price of $667.75 is above both the MA-20 ($656.27) and MA-50 ($656.78), indicating short- to medium-term bullish momentum, but remains below MA-200 ($691.27), signaling unresolved longer-term resistance. The Ichimoku Kijun level at $686.08 stands above the current market, acting as immediate resistance.

Momentum signals are mixed: MACD gives a strong sell on both daily and weekly timeframes, while ADX remains neutral and shows weak trend strength. The Relative Strength Index is near neutral but leans to sell, while Stochastic RSI and Bull/Bear Power both indicate overbought conditions and strong buyer dominance intraday. Commodity Channel Index and Awesome Oscillator are neutral, and daily signals conflict — momentum wanes but buying pressure and price action persist. There was a small opening gap higher, with price now near the top of today's range and intraday volatility at a moderate level. The session shows strength toward the highs, diverging from weakening momentum in the indicators.

Rangebound trading expected as breakout odds remain limited

For the next five days, expect price action in the normalized corridor of $655 to $680, considering current volatility and recent patterns. The probability of an upward move is very low (less than 20%), making further declines more likely. The baseline scenario suggests consolidation between recent highs and lows, with a rangebound profile. A bullish case would require a sustained break above the immediate resistance at $686.08, while a bearish move could develop if support near $655 fails, possibly leading to a sharper retreat toward recent weekly lows.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, sees Meta holding above key moving averages but capped by unresolved long-term resistance. Momentum indicators flash mixed signals, with short-term buyers active but underlying trend weak. Recent institutional selling and cautious guidance also limit the upside case in the current range. "Base case remains rangebound between $655 and $680 — without a breakout above $686.08, upside is capped and risks remain tilted to the downside."

Previously it was reported that Meta Platforms, Inc. traded below its key 20-, 50-, and 200-day moving averages, with technical indicators such as MACD and ADX reflecting weak or negative momentum, while RSI and CCI remained neutral. Despite an intraday rebound toward session highs, resistance at the Ichimoku Kijun and prevailing selling pressure favor a sideways bias within the $635–$665 range unless a decisive momentum shift occurs.
