Paychex Inc

PAYX remains in a constructive medium- and long-term uptrend, but short-term momentum has softened with price pulled below the 9- and 20-day EMAs into the 50-day SMA support area. We defer buying and look for a clear rebound and acceptance around the 50-day SMA zone near 116–117. A break and close below this level risks a deeper pullback toward the 200-day SMA and would undermine the broader uptrend.
