Facebook has been recovering from its July decline. Note that this price break occurred during a cycle downswing. Corrections usually consist of three price movements. The imminent cycle peak appears to be the beginning of the third, a decline to a new low. In the last year, eight of the prior twelve sell signals have been accurate. The downside target is $164 or lower by the last week of this month.
