The sector-wide RSI cooldown flagged last scan kept going, and it cost DAL and AAL their monster status — both slipped back under the 30% vsSma200 threshold after briefly clearing it. All six carriers fell 3-7% this week even as 30D gains stayed positive, a broad-based pullback rather than an isolated name breaking down. DAL reported Q2 earnings on July 10 and closed down 1.81% that session — a mild negative reaction, no sign of structural damage. ALK remains the one name getting worse on both price and distance-from-high.

MONSTER TIER LOST — DAL AND AAL BOTH SLIP BACK: DAL ($87.39, RSI 53.9, strong-up, golden cross) and AAL ($16.95, RSI 58.5, strong-up, golden cross) both fell out of monster criteria this week. DAL's vsSma200 compressed from +34.9% (07-06) to +27.8% (07-10); AAL's from +32.7% to +25.9% — both now below the 30% threshold that qualified them last scan. RSI dropped in step (DAL 68.1→53.9, AAL 72.5→58.5) and prices eased (DAL -4.68% for the week to $87.39; AAL -4.51% to $16.95). This reads as a broad releasing of froth across the sector, not an isolated problem with either name.

UAL AND LUV — SLIPPED FURTHER FROM MONSTER, NOT CLOSER: UAL ($126.00, RSI 55.2, vsSma200 21.2%) and LUV ($48.43, RSI 54.2, vsSma200 19.9%) were flagged last scan as "one push from monster" (vsSma200 28% and 26.9%). Instead of pushing higher, both slipped back — the underlying strong-up/golden-cross structure is intact, but the extension faded rather than resolved.

DAL EARNINGS REACTION: DAL reported Q2 earnings on 07-10, the session captured in this scan's close. The stock fell 1.81% that day — a mild negative tape reaction, not a breakdown; RSI (53.9) and the 30D trend (+7.06%) show no structural damage from the print.

JETS NO LONGER THE LAGGARD: JETS ($32.09, RSI 58.1) cooled right along with the underlying carriers this time — last scan it was the outlier holding RSI 74 while every individual carrier eased into the 60s. That divergence has closed.

ALK — STILL THE STRUCTURAL LAGGARD: ALK ($49.42, RSI 53.6, up trend, death cross unresolved, pullback regime) is now -24.98% from its 52-week high, worse than the -23.48% flagged last scan. The death cross remains unresolved; this is the clearest weak name in the group two scans running.

• Sector-wide RSI compression continued: 68-74 (07-06 close) → 54-58.5 (07-10 close) as all six names fell 3-7% this week (DAL -6.56%, UAL -6.63%, LUV -4.83%, JETS -4.24%, AAL -5.2%, ALK -3.12% 7D).
• DAL and AAL both fell out of monster criteria — vsSma200 dropped back under the 30% threshold (DAL 34.9%→27.8%; AAL 32.7%→25.9%) — reversing last scan's flagged promotion.
• UAL and LUV, flagged last scan as "one push from monster," instead slipped further from the line (vsSma200 28%→21.2% and 26.9%→19.9%).
• DAL reported Q2 earnings on 07-10; the stock closed that session down 1.81%.
• JETS's RSI lag closed — it cooled in step with the underlying carriers rather than staying stuck near 74.
• ALK worsened again on distance-from-high (-23.48%→-24.98%); death cross remains unresolved.

• Does DAL's earnings-call content (not visible in this price data) explain the broader sector pullback, or is this a market-wide risk-off week?
• Will ALK's death cross ever resolve, or is this now a genuine structural laggard three scans running?
