Facebook Upside Appears Limited Despite Strong Quarter
Facebook, Inc. ( FB ) stock rallied to a three-month high on Thursday after the company beat third quarter profit and revenue estimates. However, it was a mixed session because the social media giant gapped up and posted the day's high a few minutes after the opening bell before pulling back throughout the day and closing near the intraday low. The reversal highlighted hidden selling pressure while warning new investors that gains may be limited in coming weeks. Technical and political headwinds are likely to drive price action well into 2020, with massive overhead supply around $200 still in place after July 2018's 41-point sell gap and down day. The stock posted the highest selling volume in the past six years in that session, with shareholders hitting the sidelines after the company warned that privacy issues following the Cambridge Analytica scandal were taking a toll on user interaction. That loss of trust has spiraled into a series of international accusations and … [Read more...] about Facebook Upside Appears Limited Despite Strong Quarter
