Shares of Meta Platforms Inc., the American multinational holding company that owns a technology conglomerate and the world's largest social network Facebook, are trading within a medium-term downtrend, forming a corresponding descending channel: at the end of last month, the price reached its lower boundary near 531.25 (Murray level [1/8]), but failed to break below it and moved into a correction. The price is currently in the positive zone of the main Murray trading range and has already approached the reversal level of 687.50 (Murray level [6/8]) — a sustained close above which would allow the instrument to break out through the channel's upper boundary and continue toward targets at 750.00 (Murray level [8/8]) and 781.25 (Murray level [+1/8]). The key level for sellers is the midpoint of the main Murray trading range at 625.00 (Murray level [4/8]), reinforced by the Bollinger Bands middle line: a break below it would serve as a catalyst for intensifying bearish momentum and a move toward 562.50 (Murray level [2/8]) and 500.00 (Murray level [0/8]).
