The QL Read
META's composite signal sits at a neutral 47/100 — below levels associated with constructive readings — and today's 9.69% single-session drawdown deepens that middling read. With breadth at 53.7% advancing, the broader tape is not in full retreat, suggesting META-specific pressure rather than macro-driven selling.
