CHART ANALYSIS
Facebook Holding 200 MA For Now
06/06/19 03:56:52 PMby Fawad Razaqzada
Monday saw shares in Amazon, Apple, Facebook and Google drop sharply on the back of reports regulators in the US were preparing to investigate whether these tech giants have misused their market power to harm competition.
Position: N/A
| The probe could take several months or even years, should the regulators decide to open formal antitrust investigations. Even so, it is unlikely that the government will go for "nuclear options," which include forcing them to break up. So, I wouldn't be surprised if these stocks manage to regain some lost ground, at least in the short-term as investors wait for further details. |
| Among these companies, Facebook will be an interesting one to watch given its huge influence in the social media space as it also owns Instagram and WhatsApp. It has been criticised for allowing misleading posts and "fake news" to be posted and shared on its services. |
| Since Monday's drop, Facebook shares have managed to stage a minor rebound, finding support, for now, from the 200-day moving average at just above $161.00. The key question now is whether it will be able to regain those losses or fall further. |

| From a purely technical point of view, I suppose a lot depends on price action around $168.00, where FB has traded around for the past few days. If it manages to find a base here then it may well go on to regain at least some of its losses, and potentially head back towards the next level of resistance at $178.00. However, a close back below $168.00 could see the social media giant go for a re-test of the recent lows and support around $160.00. |
| It is worth pointing out, though, that there is a huge ~$10 unfilled gap below $160.00 that could be "filled" should the weakness continue. If so, that would take FB to around $150.00, where it will meet the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level against last year's low ($123.00). |
