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.
