Meta slips 3.1% after 5 straight weekly gains while the weekly MACD keeps improving

October 02, 2026

Our view last week

A 12.9% weekly jump has carried Meta stock to within 6% of its all-time high, and this time the price action sides with the buyers: seven days ago sellers took the bar and money flow sat below zero, now volume is on the buy side and the CMF is back in positive territory. The buy signal that fired 2 weeks ago is holding, with the trade up 16% since entry. A technical analysis to watch closely: sellers had the upper hand in the latest session.

This week's summary

The first pause after 5 straight weekly gains: Meta gives back 3.1% following last week's 12.9% jump and sits 8.6% below its all-time high again. The structure holds: the weekly MACD stays above its Signal line and weekly money flow is still positive. On the technical analysis, Meta stock remains inside the buy signal that fired 3 weeks ago, one of the weekly buy signals still open among tech stocks, with the trade up more than 12%. Earnings on October 28 are drawing closer.
