Positives: 50-day MA is rising (+0.94% over 10 days); RSI 49 — healthy momentum range.

META is trading below its 200-day MA ($638.07) — a key warning sign the longer-term trend is under pressure. An RSI of 48.8 sits in the neutral zone — momentum is neither stretched nor exhausted. The 1-year return of -16.7% compares to +16.5% for SPY (trailed the market by 33.2%). The current 25.3% drawdown from the 52-week high reflects elevated risk for momentum-based strategies.
