Paypal Stock Forecast

Buy candidate since Jul 28, 2026 Gain 0.38%

The Paypal stock price gained 1.16% on the last trading day (Tuesday, 4th Aug 2026), rising from $57.87 to $58.54. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 2.41% from a day low at $57.18 to a day high of $58.56. The price has risen in 6 of the last 10 days and is up by 4.82% over the past 2 weeks. Volume has increased on the last day along with the price, which is a positive technical sign, and, in total, 2 million more shares were traded than the day before. In total, 9 million shares were bought and sold for approximately $554.56 million.

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 $60.10 will firstly indicate a stronger rate of rising. Given the current short-term trend, the stock is expected to rise 29.28% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $63.12 and $77.70 at the end of this 3-month period.

PYPL Signals & Forecast

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 $57.72 and $49.60. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals. A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Wednesday, June 10, 2026, and so far it has risen 43.83%. Further rise is indicated until a new top pivot has been found. Volume is rising along with the price. This is considered to be a good technical signal. Some negative signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. Furthermore, there is currently a sell signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD).

Support, Risk & Stop-loss for Paypal stock

On the downside, the stock finds support just below today's level from accumulated volume at $55.52 and $46.49. There is a natural risk involved when a stock is testing a support level, since if this is broken, the stock then may fall to the next support level. In this case, Paypal finds support just below today's level at $55.52. If this is broken, then the next support from accumulated volume will be at $46.49 and $44.29.

This stock may move much during the day (volatility) and with a large prediction interval from the Bollinger Band this stock is considered to be "high risk". During the last day, the stock moved $1.38 between high and low, or 2.41%. For the last week, the stock has had daily average volatility of 2.08%.

Our recommended stop-loss: $56.41 (-3.64%) (This stock has high daily movements and this gives high risk. There is a buy signal from a pivot bottom found 37 days ago.)

For the upcoming trading day on Wednesday, 5th we expect PayPal Holdings to open at $58.09, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $57.72 and $59.36, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$1.63 (+/-2.83%) up or down from last closing price.
