PYPL is in a confirmed uptrend, trading above both its 50-day ($52.02) and 200-day ($51.45) moving averages. An RSI of 67.7 sits in the neutral zone — momentum is neither stretched nor exhausted. The 1-year return of -8.9% compares to +20.5% for SPY (trailed the market by 29.4%). The current 22.3% drawdown from the 52-week high reflects elevated risk for momentum-based strategies.
