Trend Downtrend in force

PAYX (PAYX) is trading at $98.94. Over the last 127 sessions the trend is **down** with a +7.7% move.

Price is -22.3% from the 6-month high and +15.6% from the low. Annualised volatility (30-day) is ~34%.

Bollinger Bands Near the lower band — weakness

Bollinger Bands (20, 2): price is at $98.94, upper $125.16, middle $109.08, lower $93.01. Price is near the lower band — weakness.

Bandwidth is 29.5% of price — expanded (high volatility). Width contraction often precedes a directional breakout; expansion confirms one underway.

RSI (14) Oversold

RSI(14) is 12.2. A bounce is common from these levels but not guaranteed.

Generally: above 70 = overheated, above 50 = bullish trend, below 50 = bearish trend, below 30 = oversold.

MACD (12, 26, 9) Bearish — momentum slowing

MACD (12, 26, 9): line $-5.61, signal $-4.43, histogram -1.185.

The fast line has crossed below the signal line and the histogram is negative. Price may still be rising overall, but momentum is weakening — often seen before a correction, a sideways consolidation, or a final push higher.

Volume Analysis Distribution — sellers in control

Down-day volume exceeds up-day volume (ratio 0.70). Price falls on heavier volume than it rises on — sellers are more aggressive than buyers.

Rule of thumb: price up on high volume = accumulation; price down on high volume = distribution. Low-volume pullbacks after a rally are usually profit-taking, not panic.

Smart Money (A/D) Smart money distributing

The A/D line is falling and well off highs. If smart money were exiting you would expect lower highs and volume spikes on down days — distribution pressure is building.

A/D combines price position within the day's range with volume: rising = net buying pressure, falling = net selling pressure. It often leads price at turning points.

Anchored VWAP Below anchored VWAP — period buyers underwater

Price ($98.94) is -5.1% below the anchored VWAP ($104.25). Period buyers are underwater — overhead supply tends to cap rallies.

Anchored VWAP is the volume-weighted average from the start of the scraped series — a proxy for the period's average institutional cost basis.

Key Levels 3 resistance / 2 support levels

Current price $98.94. Resistance above: $99.67, $101.33, $115.81. Support below: $98.00, $93.01.

Watch $99.67 as the first upside level to clear, and $98.00 as the first downside level to hold. A clean break of either often determines the next leg.
