Meta Platforms (META) Stock Price Holds Near All-Time High

As shown on the Meta Platforms (META) stock chart, the price remains around the $560 level, less than 2% away from the all-time high of over $570, reached on 23 September.

A significant gain of approximately 3.80% in one day was achieved on 19 September, driven by increased demand for shares following the Federal Reserve’s decision to ease monetary policy.

Technical analysis of the META stock chart indicates that:
→ The price is forming an upward channel (constructed using the linear regression method, marked in blue), currently sitting in the upper half of this channel.
→ Prior to breaking through key resistance at $540, the price trajectory formed a bullish "inverse cup with handle" pattern, which aligns with another bullish pattern – an "inverse head and shoulders."
→ The bullish gap that appeared on 19 September could act as a key support zone, helping the price stay above the former resistance at $540.

Why Would Countries Devalue Their Currency?

Currency devaluation is a nuanced aspect of fiscal policy with profound implications globally. This article demystifies the strategic reasons and consequential effects when nations choose to devalue their currency. From influencing trade balances to adjusting economic strategies, understanding these dynamics is crucial for traders and investors alike. Dive into the complex world of currency devaluation and its far-reaching impact on global economics.

Devalued Currency Definition

So, what is currency devaluation, and how does a country devalue its currency? Currency devaluation is a deliberate downward adjustment of a country's currency value relative to another currency, group of currencies, or standard. This monetary policy decision is typically made by a national government or its central bank. Devaluation is distinct from depreciation, which is a market-driven decrease in currency value.

In a practical sense, devaluation reduces the cost of a country's exports and increases the cost of imports. For countries with fixed or semi-fixed exchange rates, this involves officially lowering the exchange rate by the revaluation of the peg or a change in the pegged currency.
