Management and risk description
The stock of PAY made 75% correction of the last movement since the end of September. At the moment, the stock moves in a sideways phase (Fig.2 – green, red line) and we could start our short trade, if the stock will leave this sideways phase. A trader could be looking at a subordinate trend to get an entry. Figure 2 shows a resistance zone which is located (drawn in red bar) that additionally underpins the preferred short scenario.
This resistance zone consists of the SMA200 line (red line) and the EMA130 (blue line). Before this zone is not significantly broken the downtrend is intact. If the price significantly overcome the price level of about $32, our short-idea would be over.
