Tier Analysis

Strong-Up / Breakout (RSI 67-69): LUV (RSI 69.1, strong-up, golden cross, +24.2% 30D — but pullback regime and still -13.9% from high), AAL (RSI 68.6, uptrend, +48.1% 3M, only -3.1% from high), and JETS (RSI 66.8, strong-up, golden cross, +25.6% 3M, basically at its high at -1.1%) lead the band. All three are extended; JETS pinned to its high is the purest "sector at the top" tell.

Uptrend / Hold (RSI 62-65): UAL (RSI 64.6, +28.0% 30D, +9.4% 7D — the strongest near-term momentum, but deathCross flag and -5.0% from high), ALK (RSI 64.0, +36.0% 30D — highest 30D move but pullback regime and -25.2% from high, the deepest recovery room left), DAL (RSI 62.8, strong-up, golden cross, breakout regime, +26.8% vs SMA200, -3.7% from high — the cleanest structural leader). DAL is the only name in a textbook strong-up + golden-cross + near-high configuration.

Approaching Oversold: None. Lowest RSI is DAL at 62.8.

Entry Zones

Stock Price RSI 30D% Setup
ALK $49.26 64.0 +36.04% Most recovery room (-25.2% from high) but `pullback` regime + death cross below; wait for a pullback to SMA50 ($41.95) with RSI 40-45 rather than chasing the +36% rip
DAL $84.18 62.8 +24.23% Cleanest trend-hold structure (strong-up, golden cross, +26.8% vs SMA200); on a pullback toward SMA20 ($80.58) it's the highest-quality re-entry

Action Matrix

Action Stocks Why
🔒 HOLD DAL, JETS, AAL, UAL, LUV Strong-up / uptrend, near 52wk highs — hold existing, don't initiate into extension
🔍 WATCH ALK Highest 30D move but still -25.2% from high in pullback regime; watch for a clean SMA50 retest
⚠️ AVOID (chasing the whole group) All RSI 62-69, +24-36% 30D — initiating here is buying extension, not a pullback

What Changed

  • Sector-wide synchronized rip — every name +24% to +36% over 30D; this is a coordinated airline-sector move, not single-name news
  • JETS ETF pinned to its high (-1.1%, RSI 66.8) — the ETF confirms the bid is broad, not isolated
  • AAL the momentum leader — +48.1% 3M, +32.6% 30D, now only -3.1% from its high
  • ALK lags on recovery — biggest 30D mover (+36.0%) yet still -25.2% from high; the only name with meaningful room left, but pullback regime
  • DAL the structural standout — only name with strong-up trend + golden cross + breakout regime simultaneously

The Gold

Key Discoveries

Discovery Implication
All 6 names +24-36% 30D, RSI 62-69, JETS at its high Sector-level melt-up — coordinated bid, extended, no pullback entries
DAL = only strong-up + golden cross + breakout name Cleanest trend-hold leader if the sector holds
ALK +36% 30D but still -25% from high Most recovery room, but pullback regime — laggard, not yet a clean trend

Mistakes (Don't Repeat)

Mistake Lesson
Reading UAL/AAL's `deathCross` flag as bearish while they rip +28-33% 30D Long-term cross flags lag a fast recovery; the regime ("uptrend") and 30D move are the live signal here

Open Questions

  • Is the synchronized +24-36% 30D move driven by a sector catalyst (fuel, demand, summer-travel guidance)? (needs event verify)
  • Does ALK's -25% from high reflect a name-specific overhang vs the group's near-high cluster?
