Story Highlights

Meta stock has gained 95% so far in 2023. According to the technical indicators, the stock has a bullish trend.

Meta Platforms’ (NASDAQ:META) stock has increased 95% year-to-date. The rally can be attributed to several tailwinds. These include positive developments with the ban of TikTok, better-than-expected Q1 results, and an encouraging outlook. While META stock has appreciated, its technical indicators also suggest a Buy, implying further upside from current levels.

Backed by Meta’s year-to-date price appreciation, its ADX (Trend Strength Indicator) of 40.8 signals a strong growth trend. Based on Pivot Points, the META stock has the next resistance near $248.46 (see the graph below).
