PYPL Elliott Wave Technical Analysis – Daily chart

PYPL is currently unfolding in wave 3 or C, which is an impulsive wave characterized by strong upside potential. The equality level between wave 3 and wave 1 stands around  Trading Level 8 at 80$, which often serves as a minimum target for wave 3 or C. Given this, we expect further upside as wave {iii} continues to develop, and reaching the 80$ target seems reasonable in the near term.

PYPL is in wave (iv) of {iii}, where a triangle correction seems to be forming. Once this triangle correction is completed, the stock is expected to resume its upside momentum toward the 1.618 Fibonacci extension of wave {iii} compared to wave {i}. This next leg up in wave (v) of {iii} could push the price toward the anticipated target of around 80$.
