Meta stock revisits 8-month low as RSI signals continued downside pressure
Investors appetite for META shares is weakening
Meta’s (NASDAQ: META) stock price continues to weaken after peaking at an all-time high of 740.8 in February. The decline has stretched into its third straight monthly loss in 2025, as broader tech sector sentiment softens and investor appetite wanes.
Earlier this month, Meta slid to an eight-month low at 481.5 before attempting a short-lived rebound. That recovery was partly lifted by President Trump’s announcement of a 90-day pause on tariffs. However, the bounce faltered near 580.9, a critical resistance zone reinforced by the 20-day EMA, which rejected further upside.

Following that failed move, Meta experienced four consecutive bearish sessions last week, shedding 10% over that period and reapproaching the 495.0 support level. The downtrend remains firmly intact, and today, Monday, April 21, the stock is set to open near that same 495.0 level.
Meta’s month-to-date loss has now widened to 12%, and its year-to-date performance sits at -15%, reflecting sustained pressure since the February peak. The stock continues to trade below both the 20-day and 50-day exponential moving averages, confirming the strength of the bearish trend.
Meta stock RSI below 40 across timeframes highlights weak bullish conviction
On the 4-hour chart, the 50 EMA now aligns closely with the descending trendline that has defined Meta’s decline since February, further strengthening resistance at 546.0. If bulls fail to reclaim the resistance level, then the stock is vulnerable to further downside risk.
Technical indicators show little relief for bulls either. RSI readings on both the daily and 4-hour charts are currently below 40, indicating prevailing bearish momentum. If the 495.0 support breaks decisively, Meta may fall towards the next major support at 443.0, marking a potential further leg lower toward multi-month lows.
In January, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg described 2025 as a defining year for AI. The company aims to construct an AI data center so large it would rival a significant part of Manhattan.
