Chart of the Day: Meta Rests Before an Imminent Move

The longer this goes sideways the more energy builds for a breakout move whenever that happens.

Since we last discussed Meta Platforms META, the stock has settled into a range, a gentle move lower that shows this TheStreet Pro Portfolio holding building a nice base in a higher range. The stock remains bullish. Notice the teal color of the candles, which reflect a cautiously bullish stance.  

Yet, even as the price action is tepidly bullish, the supporting indicators are not overwhelmingly bullish, rather they are on the cusp of a breakout. Momentum, where we look at the stochastics for answers, is turning upward (pane 4).  

The MACD (moving average convergence/divergence), which tells us changes in trajectory before they happen, needs a few more sessions to give us a buy signal crossover (with confirmation). Money flow is still bearish (bottom pane) but improving.

All in all, the stock should build a longer base here and when the time comes for an explosion higher, the base should provide all the support needed for big institutional sponsorship (buying).  

We rate Meta Platforms a Two in TheStreet Pro portfolio, or "stockpile on pullbacks." Indeed, this might be an ideal time to add more shares while the stock is resting.
