Tier Analysis
Overbought (RSI > 70): DAL (74.1) and UAL (71.6) — both crossing into overbought zone. DAL is near its 52-week high (-1.6%), making it the most extended. UAL had a massive +16% week and is still operating under a death cross — a structural concern that the price action is outrunning. Neither is a buy here without a pullback.
Near Overbought (RSI 60–70): AAL (69.1), JETS (68.0), ALK (65.4), LUV (60.4) — all pushing. AAL +25% 30D is remarkable given it's still death-cross. JETS ETF gives broad exposure but captures the extended RSI of the whole basket. ALK stands out: +14.86% in 7D but still -30% from 52wk high — the laggard with most upside IF the trend continues.
