Elliott Wave analysis: META hits new high from blue box

Elliott Wave Forecast Team ElliottWave-Forecast.com

Meta Platforms, formerly Facebook, is a tech company focused on building the “metaverse.” It owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, and develops virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) products. $META is one of the 26 instruments we cover for members in Group 2.

After a significant decline of over 77% from its July 2021 record high, the stock has since delivered one of the best gains in the past two years. From the January 2023 lows, it has surged around 500% in a clear bullish sequence. When price is trending in a bullish sequence, we prefer buying dips in 3, 7, or 11 swings. Conversely, in a bearish sequence, we focus on selling bounces within the same 3, 7, or 11 swing corrective structure. This way, we align our trades with the dominant market direction.

Moreover, we mark potential trade zones with the Blue Box on our charts, which guides members on where to enter trades and place stop losses, ensuring they follow the market’s overall path effectively.

META Elliott Wave analysis 9.24.2024

On 9.24.2024, we shared the META H1 chart with members. We identified a 3-swing pullback which we expected to complete within the 557.43-550.30 blue box range. We recommended traders consider buying from this blue box, placing stops below it. Additionally, we provided a trade management guide in the trading journal and live trading room.

As the chart above shows, traders went long from the blue box. Shortly afterward, the price reacted and separated from the blue box to a risk-free area.

META Elliott Wave analysis 10.02.2024

On 10.02.2024, we shared the chart above with members, highlighting how far the price has moved away from the blue box. The chart also indicates that the impulse wave sequence is likely incomplete. From wave ((iv)), the price is expected to rally in wave ((v)) to complete wave (3). Afterward, a pullback for wave (4) should occur, and we can consider buying again if the pullback meets our entry criteria.

AUD/USD seems vulnerable near 0.6800, 10-month low amid bullish USD

AUD/USD languishes near a 10-month low during the Asian session on Friday, awaiting a break below 0.6800 before the next leg up amid a bullish US Dollar. Firming Fed rate-hike expectations, along with fading hopes for US-Iran diplomacy, help the USD hold gains at its highest level since April 2025. Moreover, the RBA’s dovish tilt undermines the Aussie and backs the case for further losses.

USD/JPY bulls turn cautious near 160.00 amid intervention risks

USD/JPY enters a bullish consolidation phase around its highest level since early September as bulls turn cautious amid intervention risk near 160.00. Meanwhile, the downside seems cushioned as the wide US-Japan interest rate gap keeps the Yen carry trade active. Furthermore, the possibility of a jumbo Fed rate hike and Middle East uncertainties hold the US Dollar near a 19-month top, supporting the currency pair.

Gold advances marginally; still below $3,900

Gold attempts a mild bounce and approaches the $3,900 region per troy ounce at the end of the week. The marginal recovery in the precious metal comes on the back of a vacillating mood surrounding the US Dollar along with mixed US Treasury yields following the release of US October Producer Prices.

Bitcoin just posted five straight losing weeks, and the storm may not be over yet

Bitcoin is struggling to find support, slipping below $70,000 as multiple headwinds threaten to push the Crypto King lower. The much-anticipated “Uptober” rally failed to materialize, with persistent selling pressure and widespread liquidations instead reinforcing the “Rektober” narrative.

Week ahead – Fed Minutes, inflation data and Nvidia earnings to guide investors

Fed minutes may add to hawkish tone as bets of 50-bps hike grow. Nvidia to report earnings as bar to impress high after spy scandal. Trade and geopolitics to be focal point of Trump-Xi summit.

Gold hit its lowest level of 2026 near $3,850

Gold (XAU/USD) attempts to stabilize around $3,890 on Friday after falling to $3,852 on Thursday, its lowest level since October 2025. The precious metal has lost more than 4% this week, as investors increasingly anticipate further monetary tightening from the Federal Reserve (Fed). The latest decline reflects a sharp change in market expectations.
