PAYX support and resistance levels

Price found a floor near $112.32 about 4 weeks ago and has been climbing since. On the weekly chart, the next ceiling overhead sits near $132.29 — still about 4% away.

  • Traders commonly watch $132.29 as a target (its 61.8% extension) — think of it as a sensible next stop, not a guarantee.
  • That ceiling is the first place the climb might pause — worth watching how price behaves as it gets there.
  • There's nothing to act on here — the spot to watch was the $112.32 floor about 4 weeks ago, when price bounced there, but price has already pulled higher. What's left is the climb playing out, not a fresh starting point.
