Delta Air Lines Has Pulled Back

Delta Air Lines has been ripping since the summer, and some traders may see an opportunity in its latest pullback.

The first pattern on today’s chart is the gap on November 6 after Donald Trump was confirmed as next U.S. President. DAL retraced that move to hold its election-day high on Wednesday. Has old resistance become new support?

Second, prices are trying to hold the rising 50-day simple moving average (SMA). That may suggest its intermediate-term trend is pointing higher.

Next, the 50-day SMA had a “golden cross” above the 200-day SMA in October. That may suggest its long-term trend has turned bullish.

Finally, stochastics are rebounding from an oversold condition.
