PayPal: new sell signal, high-risk opening
PayPal stock drops 12.8%, sellers in control: new sell signal below the 50-week average
Our view last week
PayPal's rally takes a breather: after three straight weekly gains the stock closes essentially flat, with volume contracting and an indecisive last candle. Underneath, though, the trend keeps building conviction - the weekly ADX has been climbing for six weeks - while the price sits a step from its recent highs, an area already tested twice. PayPal stock stays in 1st place among 167 open US buy signals, up 33% since entry: technical analysis of a stock that has slowed, not stalled.
This week's summary
PayPal stock drops 12.8% in a single week, with sellers extremely dominant in the last candle: a new sell signal fires as the stock slides below its 50-week moving average. It already ranks 2nd among the sell signals for US stocks, but our model flags this as a high-risk opening — caution for anyone considering an entry now. Weekly technical analysis.
