The short can still be held because META is pressing into a defined resistance zone rather than breaking out, while 4-hour momentum is fading and volume has declined, a combination that often precedes rejection or rotation rather than trend acceleration. The new China/Manus blockage also adds a company-specific negative catalyst that can keep sentiment restrained into earnings, preserving a path back toward the 639 area and potentially the original 627 target if guidance disappoints.
The original thesis is still valid, and the technical conditions support maintaining the position. The RSI decrease and the support from the Bollinger Bands indicate a potential reversal, and the overall technical conditions still support the thesis. Additionally, the recent news does not necessarily invalidate the original thesis, and the potential reversal in RSI and the support from the Bollinger Bands support maintaining the position.
The original thesis remains intact: regulatory headwinds from the blocked Manus acquisition continue to pressure Meta's growth narrative, particularly in high-value AI expansion. Technically, the stock is holding above critical support at $639.37, and the risk/reward remains favorable with a 2.75:1 ratio. The absence of a structural break or stop breach means the downside path is still viable.
No model argued for EXIT.

▼ Click to expandThe case to exit is that the broader trend remains up, price is still above all major moving averages, and the market regime is neutral-to-trending rather than risk-off, which can support megacap resilience. With earnings on April 29, a strong report or upbeat AI monetization commentary could overwhelm the negative M&A headline and produce a breakout above 691-696, invalidating the short quickly.

The recent news may already be priced in, and the stock is showing resilience near $675. With volume declining and no immediate follow-through on the negative catalyst, the downside momentum may have stalled. A wait-and-see stance could be preferable to holding a low-conviction short.

The MACD contraction and the recent news of China blocking the acquisition may have a negative impact on the stock price. Furthermore, the FOMC delivering a hawkish surprise, causing the dollar to spike and gold to gap below the stop, could lead to a significant decrease in the stock price.
