Meta faces an amended class action lawsuit alleging its AI Glasses violated the privacy consent of millions of bystanders by capturing and reviewing their data without permission.
verdict FRESH, direction bearish -> short META (regulatory: Meta faces an amended class action lawsuit alleging its AI Glasses violated the privacy consent of millions of bystanders by capturing and reviewing their data without permission.)
overnight drift: short META at close, exit next close (regulatory: Meta faces an amended class action lawsuit alleging its AI Glasses violated the privacy consent of millions of bystanders by capturing and reviewing their data without permission.) [skipped at close: outranked — mat 65 short lost to mat 65 long (decision 15384) for S4 META exiting 2026-09-03]
Signal (dominant factor): The bearish call was wrong — META rose ~1% against the short, and the best the trade ever showed was +0.12% unrealized, so the predicted move essentially never materialized. Timing: The context shows no prior downmove at decision time (-0.18% since prev close), but the fill at 586.49 was ~1.4% above the prior close of 578.54, meaning price ran up between decision and entry; whether the news was already priced in can't be settled from this data. Exit: The exit was reasonable given what was available — the -0.99% loss sits between the +0.12% best and -2.22% worst, so the trade cut losses before the maximum drawdown rather than leaving meaningful profit on the table.

Verdicts are decided top-to-bottom, first match wins; REPRICING is also the fallback when nothing else matches (2026-08-08 #220).
UNKNOWN — a needed price input (move since close or move in the last 30m) is missing.
PRICED — |move since previous close| ≥ 2.0%: already reflected in price.
REPRICING — |move in the last 30m| ≥ 0.5%: the tape is actively moving on it. Also covers a quieter move — |move since previous close| in [1.0, 2.0) with a quiet last-30m tape: still developing, not yet priced.
FRESH — |move since previous close| < 1.0%: a genuinely new move.
materiality — how market-moving the story was judged, 0-100 — alerts require materiality ≥ 70.
