META Stock Price Forecast for 2025 Based on Technical Analysis

Let’s conduct a technical analysis of the META stock for 2025 on a weekly chart.

Shares of the American multinational technology conglomerate Meta Platforms have been trending upward since the beginning of November 2022, currently trading at 627.71. The asset’s quotes are surging within a Golden Cross pattern, which emerged at the end of 2023 near $317.37. At the same time, Hammer and Bullish Engulfing candlestick patterns appeared at the key support level of $583.01, pointing to sustained buying activity.

Meanwhile, tick volume continues to increase, suggesting growing demand for the META shares. The VWAP (Volume-Weighted Average Price) indicator and SMA20 are below the market price, indicating bullish potential.

However, a number of other tools provide mixed signals. The MFI and RSI reflect a prolonged bearish divergence since April 2024. The MFI also pinpoints that there has been an outflow of liquidity from the asset. MACD indicator values are located in the negative zone near the zero boundary, providing no clear buy or sell signals.

Most likely, the asset will continue to increase in value during 2025. If the asset breaks through the key resistance level of $640.03 on increased volumes, a buy signal will be generated, creating an opportunity to open long trades with targets in the area of $689.57–$798.00.

An alternative scenario suggests that the META price will plunge to $493.28 if the quotes pierce the key level of $583.01. If bulls fail to keep the price above this level and the price declines below the lower boundary of the trading channel, the uptrend will likely reverse, dragging the quotes to the area of $446.54–$387.65.
