Quick Summary

• Meta shares have entered a high-momentum phase driven by ad recovery and AI efficiency gains, creating opportunity for traders but elevated risk for long-term investors.

• Long-term investors can build Meta exposure through SoFi and receive up to $1,000 in free stock for new users.

• Active traders can use Apex Trader Funding to access trading accounts of up to $300,000 after a single evaluation, allowing them to trade equity index futures tied to Meta’s performance.

Shares of Meta Platforms have been riding a momentum wave over the past several months.

After a difficult stretch marked by ad weakness and heavy metaverse spending, Meta has staged a recovery as digital advertising rebounded and management tightened costs. At the same time, the company’s AI-driven ad tools have begun translating into higher engagement and improved pricing power.

The result has been a sustained rally punctuated by brief pullbacks and fast recoveries.

For investors, that creates upside potential. For traders, it creates opportunity.

If you are watching Meta right now, you are trying to figure out how long this run is going to last.

To explore that, we ran Meta through an AI price-prediction agent powered by OpenAI’s GPT and outlined ways to position around that forecast, either through leveraged futures via Apex Trader Funding or through investing platforms like SoFi for those who prefer a simpler route.

The AI agent was fed recent price action, trend indicators, volatility data, and earnings momentum inputs to generate a 60-day outlook.

At the time of the run, Meta was trading at $716.50.

For the period through late April, the model produced the following baseline forecast:

• Average predicted price: $750.50

• Implied move: roughly +4.75%

The model is projecting a controlled grind higher from current levels into spring, and long-term investors can purchase the stock through SoFi which is giving up to $1,000 in free stock when opening a new account. That makes it easy to build exposure without committing large capital.

However, if you want to trade with more action, leverage could be the way to go, and you don’t have to commit large amounts of your own money.

A prop firm, Apex operates on a funded-account model where you complete a one-step evaluation in a simulated environment. If you meet the profit target and follow drawdown rules, you receive a real funded Performance Account.
