In this short clip from Live Trading Room (Jul 15, 2026), Samantha LaDuc argues that PayPal’s rally validates the earlier bullish signals from institutional option flow, particularly the heavy put selling seen in mid-June.
While takeover speculation from Stripe has accelerated the move, she cautions that PayPal is now approaching major long-term resistance, including its descending 200-day moving average and 50-week average.
The stock appears technically stronger than before and could continue benefiting from short covering, but confirming a genuine long-term trend reversal will require weeks or months of successful consolidation rather than a single breakout above resistance.
