DAL, UAL - reversals for the airlines

DAL, daily

UAL, daily

Summary

*it is notable that the transports index only closed lower today by -0.1%.. and is indicative of the even stronger reversal in many of the airline stocks.
--

As ever, UAL is more the volatile stock, and the closing daily candle was a pretty bullish one. Even though DAL closed net lower on the day, it was still a classic hollow red reversal candle.

*if you agree that the sp'2100s are viable later this year/early 2015, then both DAL and UAL look set for the big $50 level. That will of course require Oil prices to remain 'reasonable'.. arguably no higher than $120.
