LUV gaps up above $40 Long

Southwest Airlines CompanyNYSE

Description

LUV has been a good trending stock I have traded until the October pullback earlier this year.

Breaking above the September high (and confirming a cup and handle chart pattern) offered the first opportunity to re-enter this stock. But with some uncertainty still in the markets I passed this one by.

Since then price has continued its bullish rise with a more recent pullback/flag with plenty of indecision candles. But with Friday's gap up, above the pivot high, above $40, and on higher volume this is a positive buying set-up.

This looks good for either a near-term or long-term trade. I will be entering this trade on the next set-up.

agreed. I am taking it for a short-term buy opportunity this week. If a continuation pattern forms, a longer term approach may be applied. thank you
