AI Summary

PAYX has decisively broken a key horizontal support zone and is in a Stage 4 decline below its 9/20/50 EMAs, favoring further downside. We defer selling into any bounce up toward the flipped support zone near the 50-SMA (117–119) and the prior cluster at 119–120. A failure of that resistance will reinforce bearish momentum toward the 200-SMA around 104, while a reclaim above the 50-SMA would invalidate the near-term downtrend.
