Morgan Stanley is very positive about PYPL. The price target was set to 133 (Feb 06, 2023).

The stock has broken the wide and strong rising short-term trend down. This signalizes a slower rate of rising, but may also be an early warning about a possible trend shift. Due to the trend being broken there will now be resistance at the bottom line of the trend at $67.26. A reaction back to this level may hold a second chance to get out before further falls.

There are few to no technical positive signals at the moment. The Paypal stock holds sell signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a more negative forecast for the stock. On corrections up, there will be some resistance from the lines at $72.60 and $69.93. A break-up above any of these levels will issue buy signals. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Monday, July 31, 2023, and so far it has fallen -15.35%. Further fall is indicated until a new bottom pivot has been found. Furthermore, there is currently a sell signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). Volume rose on falling prices yesterday. This may be an early warning and the stock should be followed more closely.

Paypal finds support from accumulated volume at $63.38 and this level may hold a buying opportunity as an upwards reaction can be expected when the support is being tested.
