Concerns: trading below the 200-day MA (long-term downtrend); below the 50-day MA (medium-term momentum negative); 50-day MA is falling (-0.45% over 10 days); RSI 29 — oversold; weak 1-year return of -43.0%; 3-month momentum negative (-10.6%). Currently 48.1% off its 52-week high. Score: -7/7.
PYPL is trading below its 200-day MA ($56.11) — a key warning sign the longer-term trend is under pressure. An RSI of 28.8 has dropped into oversold territory, which has historically preceded short-term bounces. The 1-year return of -43.0% compares to +24.4% for SPY (trailed the market by 67.4%). The current 48.1% drawdown from the 52-week high reflects elevated risk for momentum-based strategies.
