Red day on Wednesday for Paypal

The Paypal stock price fell by -3.83% on the last day (Wednesday, 10th May 2023) from $65.91 to $63.38. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 6.07% from a day low at $62.78 to a day high of $66.59. The price has been going up and down for this period, and there has been a -12.05% loss for the last 2 weeks. Volume fell on the last day along with the stock, which is actually a good sign as volume should follow the stock. On the last day, the trading volume fell by -22 million shares and in total, 46 million shares were bought and sold for approximately $2.92 billion.

Morgan Stanley is very positive about PYPL and gave it a "" rating on Feb 06, 2023. The price target was set to 133.

The stock has broken the falling short-term trend down. Firstly a stronger fallrate is indicated, but false breaks and "sell-off" may occur. However, a further fall is realistic and any reactions back to the breaking point ($70.58) are considered to be a "second chance" to get out. According to the fan-theory $64.85 will represent the new bottom line of the next trend, but it is far too early to say this for certain.

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. Also, there is a general sell signal from the relation between the two signals where the long-term average is above the short-term average. On corrections up, there will be some resistance from the lines at $70.76 and $73.71. A break-up above any of these levels will issue buy signals. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Monday, April 17, 2023, and so far it has fallen -18.04%. 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 fell together with the price during the last trading day and this reduces the overall risk as volume should follow the price movements.

There is no support from accumulated volume below today's level and given the right condition the stock may perform very badly in the next couple of days.

This stock has average movements during the day and with good trading volume, the risk is considered to be medium. During the last day, the stock moved $3.81 between high and low, or 6.07%. For the last week, the stock has had daily average volatility of 3.70%.

Paypal holds several negative signals and is within a falling trend, so we believe it will still perform weakly in the next couple of days or weeks. We therefore hold a negative evaluation of this stock.
