For a pedestrian industry, DAL has shown bullish consolidation in a rising channel for years. The Golden Cross (50d SMA crossing 200d SMA) today follows stronger than usual price/action, similar to the last one in Nov 2016., where there was a 38.2% retracement before continuing upwards, this time 53.24. We allow a little more because of the earnings gap, and enter at 52.30.
The Feb/Mar consolidation zone is resistance, so the stop is placed below it at 48. The target of 70.50 is ambitious, outside the channel (unless we get another long bullish consolidation), but we are relying Wave 5 being equal to Wave 1 (the last GC). This gives a RR of 4.23.
