On August 6, 2025, at 15:00, PayPal Holdings' (PYPL) 15-minute chart triggered a MACD Death Cross and KDJ Death Cross. These technical indicators suggest a potential continuation of the stock's downward trend, with momentum shifting in favor of a further decline. The MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) and KDJ (Kumo Jyo) indicators are widely used by traders to identify changes in the direction of a stock's price momentum.
The MACD Death Cross occurs when the MACD line crosses below the signal line, indicating a bearish signal. The KDJ Death Cross happens when the KDJ line crosses below the K line, also signaling a potential reversal in the stock's price trend. Both indicators suggest that PayPal's stock price may continue to decline following this recent development.
This technical analysis comes amidst a period of mixed performance for PayPal. The company reported Q2 earnings on July 29, 2025, with earnings per share (EPS) of $1.40, exceeding analysts' consensus estimates of $1.30. However, free cash flow (FCF) fell 42% to $656 million, despite the company maintaining its 2025 FCF guidance between $6 billion and $7 billion [2].
Several hedge funds have also adjusted their positions in PayPal. Primecap Management Co. CA increased its holdings by 0.5% during the first quarter, now owning approximately 5.97 million shares valued at $389.79 million [1]. Security National Bank of SO Dak, Cohen & Steers Inc., Redwood Financial Network Corp, MONECO Advisors LLC, and DMC Group LLC have also made recent adjustments to their PayPal holdings.
Analysts' ratings for PayPal remain mixed, with a consensus rating of "Moderate Buy" and an average price target of $84.57. Despite the recent earnings report, insiders have sold 22,736 shares of the company's stock worth $1,620,835 over the last three months, indicating some level of concern among insiders [1].
Investors should closely monitor PayPal's stock performance and any further developments in the company's financial health. The recent technical indicators suggest a potential downward trend, but the stock's valuation and earnings performance should also be considered.
