Bottom line
DAL Technical Analysis Summary
DAL shows a bullish uptrend on the weekly timeframe with price trading above all key moving averages, while the daily chart shows a short-term pullback from the 52-week high. The daily RSI at 50.70 sits at the neutral midline, and the MACD histogram has turned negative (-0.96), suggesting the near-term pullback may have more room. The weekly RSI at 64.68 remains in bullish territory with a positive MACD histogram (1.77), confirming the broader uptrend is intact. Key support is at the SMA50 of 80.28 and the 20-period low of 80.73. A sustained close above the 20-period high of 95.44 would signal renewed upside momentum; a break below 80.28 would suggest a deeper correction.

Comparing daily (2-year) and weekly (5-year) perspectives to identify aligned or conflicting signals.
Daily (July 13, 2026)
- Trend
- Mixed. Price at 86.19 trades below SMA20 (88.19) but above SMA50 (80.28) and SMA200 (68.53). The SMA20 remains above SMA50 and SMA200, reflecting a medium-term bullish alignment, but the recent break below SMA20 signals short-term weakness.
- Momentum
- Neutral. RSI14 at 50.70 is exactly at the midline, indicating no clear directional bias. MACD at 2.34 with signal at 3.30 and a negative histogram of -0.96 confirms bearish crossover, suggesting downward momentum in the near term.
- Volatility
- Moderate. ATR14 at 3.00 (3.48% of price) reflects typical daily movement for an airline stock. Bollinger Bands (80.67 to 95.71) show price near the middle band, consistent with the consolidation after the recent pullback from the upper band.
- Volume
- Near average. Latest volume of 8,570,100 is 96.3% of the 20-period average (8,902,450), indicating normal participation during the pullback phase.
Assessment
The daily chart shows a short-term pullback within a broader uptrend. Price has broken below the SMA20 after rallying to 95.44, and the negative MACD histogram suggests selling pressure is still present. The RSI at the 50 midline provides no clear signal. A recovery above SMA20 (88.19) would indicate the pullback is losing steam.
Weekly (July 6, 2026 week)
- Trend
- Bullish. Price at 87.39 trades above SMA20 (73.58), SMA50 (67.05), and SMA200 (49.05). All moving averages are sloping upward in a bullish alignment, confirming a strong medium-to-long-term uptrend.
- Momentum
- Bullish. RSI14 at 64.68 is in bullish territory and well below the overbought threshold of 70. MACD at 6.56 with signal at 4.78 and a positive histogram of 1.77 confirms bullish momentum is still building on the weekly scale.
- Volatility
- Elevated. ATR14 at 6.43 (7.35% of price) reflects higher-than-average weekly ranges, consistent with the strong uptrend and recent sharp price movements.
- Volume
- Slightly below average. Weekly volume of 43,863,600 is 88.7% of the 20-week average (49,474,965), indicating normal participation during the ongoing uptrend.
Assessment
The weekly chart confirms a strong bullish trend. Price has rallied from the 52-week low of 49.90 to the current 87.39, nearly doubling. The RSI at 64.68 has room to run before reaching overbought levels. The positive MACD histogram confirms momentum is on the bulls side. The pullback on the daily chart appears to be a normal correction within a powerful weekly uptrend.
