LUV - Abandons Legacy Policies While Embrace StarlinkSouthwest Airlines, long celebrated as one of the most beloved and distinctive carriers in the American aviation landscape, is undertaking a profound transformation that has left loyalists nostalgic and industry observers intensely curious. Over the past 11 months, the airline has systematically dismantled two of its most iconic differentiators—open seating and the "bags fly free" policy—while simultaneously preparing to introduce a game-changing technological upgrade: Starlink-powered in-flight

Southwest Airlines | Descending Within a Falling ChannelSouthwest shares are currently sliding inside a defined down channel as we head into the next earnings print. Price is testing lower levels and the next structural support sits around the $41 area, which has held previously. The RSI remains soft, suggesting limited upside momentum for now.
Macro/context: Southwest is in a transition phase on its revenue mix. After decades of its “bags fly free” model, the airline has shifted to assigned seating with premium and extra-legroom options, alongside

Airlines are very capital-intensive and would greatly benefit from rate cuts.

We have seen many airlines go bankrupt, close shop, and reduce capacity. This indirectly helps the major airlines as the industry cleanses.

LUV - BEARISH SCENARIO For Q1 2023, operating revenues are now expected to rise in the 21-23% range compared with the 20-24% year-over-year growth estimated earlier.
However, LUV continues to expect a negative revenue impact in the $300-$350 million band in the first quarter of 2023, primarily limited to January and February, due to operational disruptions in December 2022.
The downtrend which started back in April 2021 seems to continue.

Target 1 & 2 really aren’t that far away. And it could hold at that EMA line. But if it doesn’t there’s two additional targets below it. And you should be able to take a good 20% swing here if you average in right, even if just the first two hit... If all 4 hit I'd be going for 25%… Hope this helps.
GL & happy swinging…

Technical analysis update: JETS (8th February 2022)The airlines sector has been strongly impacted during the Covid 19 crisis which resulted in slump of most aviation related stocks. Over the past two years, this sector has been lagging behind the rest of the economy as a result of persisting lockdowns, travel restrictions and other health related mandates. Although, some countries such as Italy, Great Britain, Denmark, Norway and Switzerland are already seeing restrictions on social life being eased. We expect this phenomenon to continue globall
Not enough LUVAirlines are not doing well still despite a bunch of propping up by various institutions. These earnings are going to be absolute garbage and the broader market is also gonna tank too. I expect a rally to the 44-45 range with a likely rebound Monday in the broader market. After this, there is nothing holding airlines up for the foreseeable future. What bullish catalyst exists for airlines right now? They've been on life support since the get-go and the labour shortage along with Omicron has comp

In these weekly charts, it is clear that major airlines already are in a Downward channel, and they will retest their previous supports which could be another 10-15% correction in the coming weeks!
You can see the most important support(green line) and resistance (red line) levels.

$LUV #stock I opened short position . $nasdaqI opened short position because I observed that perhaps we will have reversal at this point due to the following reasons :
candle lower low from yesterday and it is already to move out from uptrend channel and shape another one eliot wave.
At previous trading channels the fibonacci is 98% accurate and I believe the stock will decline for a little at fibo supports or support lines either which are almost the same territories and the everyone here have gains at this bad days for the nasdaq.
Airlines have buyers at these prices!Looking at the trading volume you can see all Major airlines traded with above the average volume at these prices!
I think in the next 4-6 weeks they have the potential to gain +10%!
You can see the most important support (green lines) and resistance (red lines) to watch in the coming days in these charts!
