PayPal (PYPL): buy, wait or avoid?

Avoid Leave this one alone.

How sure is it?

Found this setup 113 times before. It worked 22 of them.

When it worked it made about 1.5 times what you put at risk. When it did not, it usually lost about 52% of what you put at risk, not all of it, because the trade is closed rather than left to run. To come out even it needed to work 29 of those 113 times, so this has not been shown to make money.

There is no setup here worth the trading fees right now. That is a normal answer, not a broken one.
If you bought and the price fell to $53.13, the plan says get out. That is the point where the idea was wrong.
If it works, the app expects around $59.22.
