Hey Gang,

You know I’m not one to chase headlines.

Most of the time, news is just noise that distracts traders from what really matters – price action and technical setups.

But now and then, the stars align. We get a perfect technical setup right as major market-moving news hits.

That’s exactly what’s happening with Meta (META) right now.

While most traders are focused on the drama around Trump’s executive order giving TikTok 75 days to find a U.S. buyer, my S.A.M AI Scanner is telling a different story.

It’s lighting up with not one but FOUR A+ signals on META.

This isn’t just another trading opportunity. This is the kind of setup I live for – where strong technicals meet perfect timing.

You see, Meta isn’t just sitting back watching the TikTok situation unfold. They’ve already launched their new video editing app “Edits” to fill the gap left by TikTok’s CapCut. There’s even speculation they could be a potential buyer.

Plus, Meta reports earnings on January 29th, which is often a positive catalyst.

But unlike most traders who are trying to guess what happens next, we’re letting the technicals guide us.

Before I dive into why this trade has me so excited, let’s look at what’s happening in the broader market…

Current Market

I will say this right now – If we don’t see some heavy volatility over the next 90 days, I’ll eat my shorts.

We’ve got a new administration with an aggressive agenda that hit the ground running yesterday.

Last week, banks kicked off the earnings season with a ‘cautiously optimistic’ outlook.

And let’s not forget our friend inflation always hanging in the background.

Yet, for all that could happen, market fear appears to be dissipating.

Over the past week, the S&P 500 volatility index (VIX) settled back below 16. If we start getting comfortably below 14 or so, we can see equities ramp higher.

Otherwise, markets will probably face a giant trading range as funds digest news and money rotates between sectors.

Here’s the thing…I don’t care which scenario unfolds because I’ve got a plan that works no matter what. And it’s rather simple.

I want a stock that combines the following characteristics:

• TPS setup: A bullish chart pattern
• Great risk/reward: Near support
• Newsworthy: Something with a qualitative edge

And right now, Meta fits all three.

Here’s what I’m seeing.

Why META Caught My Eye

First, let’s look at Meta’s daily chart.

This chart perfectly illustrates my TPS setup with several key elements:

• Trend – Notice those stacked moving averages (8, 21, and 55 EMAs)? When they’re arranged like this, with the 8 above the 21, and the 21 above the 55, it’s one of the strongest trend signals you can get.
• Pattern – We’ve got a beautiful consolidation forming near the highs. This tight range suggests we’re building energy for the next move.
• Squeeze – My momentum indicators show increasing pressure building. When I see this pattern with stacked EMAs, it often precedes a significant move.

But here’s what makes this setup even more compelling…

My S.A.M. AI Scanner is flashing FOUR separate A+ signals across different timeframes. Just look at the hourly chart:

The same TPS setup is forming on the shorter timeframe, giving us multiple confirmations of this potential move.

Additionally, we’re about halfway between the high and lows of the consolidation range. Entries below that midpoint give me more reward than risk.

But there’s one more key to this setup.

Perfect Timing For Earnings

With Meta’s earnings coming up on January 29th, this setup gets even more interesting. Here’s why:

In bull markets like we’re seeing now, strong stocks tend to rise into earnings. The stacked moving averages tell us META is already in a strong uptrend, and now we’re seeing this perfect consolidation right before the announcement.

Add in the fact that we’ve got the TikTok catalyst in play, and this could be the perfect storm for a pre-earnings run.

Turn This Setup Into Profit

Look, I’ve been trading long enough to know that no setup is guaranteed. But when I see multiple factors aligning like this:

• Four A+ technical signals
• Major market catalyst with the TikTok situation
• Strong relative strength while other stocks struggle
• Perfect TPS setup at a key level

I know it’s time to pay attention.
