Red day on Monday for Paypal
(Market data through Aug 10, 2026)

Buy candidate since Jul 28, 2026 Gain 1.29%

No changes to the price of Paypal stock on the last trading day (Monday, 10th Aug 2026). During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 1.30% from a day low at $58.32 to a day high of $59.08. The price has risen in 5 of the last 10 days and is up by 5.35% over the past 2 weeks.

The stock lies in the upper part of a wide and strong rising trend in the short term, and this may normally pose a very good selling opportunity for the short-term trader as reaction back towards the lower part of the trend can be expected. A break-up at the top trend line at $60.34 will firstly indicate a stronger rate of rising. Given the current short-term trend, the stock is expected to rise 40.50% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $71.60 and $84.78 at the end of this 3-month period.

PYPL Signals & Forecast

There are mixed signals in the stock today. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Thursday, August 06, 2026, and so far it has fallen -1.19%. 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 during the last trading day while price remained unchanged. This may be an early warning, but it may also not. We still recommend that you pay attention over the next couple of days. The Paypal stock holds buy signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a positive forecast for the stock. Also, there is a general buy signal from the relation between the two signals where the short-term average is above the long-term average. On corrections down, there will be some support from the lines at $58.50 and $51.46. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals.

Support, Risk & Stop-loss for Paypal stock

Paypal finds support from accumulated volume at $56.73 and this level may hold a buying opportunity as an upwards reaction can be expected when the support is being tested.

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 $0.758 between high and low, or 1.30%. For the last week, the stock has had daily average volatility of 2.24%.

Our recommended stop-loss: $56.67 (-4.07%) (This stock has medium daily movements and this gives medium risk. There is a sell signal from a pivot top found 2 days ago.)

Trading Expectations (PYPL) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Tuesday 11th

For the upcoming trading day on Tuesday, 11th we expect PayPal Holdings to open at $58.82, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $58.30 and $59.84, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$1.55 (+/-2.65%) up or down from last closing price. If PayPal Holdings takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 2.65% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $59.78 (1.20%) than the support at $56.73 (3.96%), our systems don't find the trading risk/reward intra-day attractive and any bets should be held until the stock is closer to the support level.
