Airlines surging broad — every name up 7-12% in a week, all in strong uptrends off cycle lows; sector is extended but golden-cross names (DAL/LUV/JETS) have structural conviction while debt-heavy AAL/ALK lag on quality.

Tier Analysis
RSI < 25 — Extreme Oversold: None.
RSI 25–40 — Oversold / Entry Zone: None.
RSI 40+ — Extended / Hold or Avoid:
- DAL (61.9): Sector's highest-quality chart — golden cross, strong-up trend, +28.6% 3M, only -4.9% from 52wk high. RSI at 61.9 is elevated but not extreme; thesis intact for holders. No add at current levels.
- UAL (64.6): Death cross technically active but price is running hard — +9.9% vs SMA20, +28.1% 30D, +27.2% 3M. RSI 64.6 getting stretched; strong momentum but execution risk (debt load). Hold only.
- LUV (69.1): Most extended name — +12.2% vs SMA20, RSI approaching 70. Golden cross active, strong-up trend. +24.2% 30D momentum impressive but RSI 69 is a caution signal on new buys.
- JETS (66.5): ETF proxy showing the breadth — golden cross, strong-up, +22.2% 3M, only -2.2% from 52wk high. RSI 66.5 extended; better add on any RSI pullback to 50–55.
- AAL (68.7): Most levered name, RSI 68.7 — +27.1% 30D, +44.7% 3M. Strongest 3M momentum in the group but balance sheet is the worst; death cross technically active. Chase risk is real.
- ALK (64.7): Only name with meaningful distance from 52wk high (-25.5%) and still running +31.5% 30D. Death cross active, -25.5% from high means structural recovery is incomplete. Most room to run IF the rally continues, but also highest downside if it stalls.

What Changed
- Sector-wide rally — every airline up 7–12% in 7D; appears tied to trade-deal optimism / summer travel demand confirmation
- DAL/JETS near 52wk highs — golden cross names testing ATH range; only -2 to -5% away, confirming structural uptrend integrity
- UAL +28.1% 30D — fastest 30D mover among quality names despite having death cross; price action overriding the technical structure
- ALK lagging on 52wk-high basis (-25.5%) — all other names within 5-15%; ALK's gap is the sector's only meaningful recovery discount
- LUV RSI 69.1 — approaching overbought territory; risk-reward for new buys is deteriorating
