By Ship, Plane and Rocket: 3 Bullish Stocks For Technical Traders Going Into The Week
SPDR S&P500 (NYSE: SPY) hit a new all-time high of $411.67 Friday following a ramp-up into earnings season and rotation back into tech stocks. Following multi-week consolidation periods, these three stocks look bullish going into the week. American Airlines Group Inc (NASDAQ: AAL) looks to be completing a bullish inverted head-and-shoulder pattern above support at $22.58 on the daily chart. On March 18 American Airlines’ stock rejected and wicked off the bottom of a gap left from its Feb. 24, 2020, gap down caused by the pandemic news. Bulls want to see the stock react to the inverted head-and-shoulder pattern and break up above the descending trendline. If American Airlines’ stock can break above the descending trendline, it has room to fill the gap and trade in the $27 range, which is in line with its pre-pandemic share prices. Royal Caribbean Group’s (NYSE: RCL) stock, like American Airlines, looks to be completing an inverted head-and-shoulder pattern above support at $85.07 and is also trading above the descending trendline, which had been holding it down since Feb. 23. Bulls want to see Royal Caribbean’s stock react to the inverted head-and-shoulder pattern and jump up to fill the overhead gap around $105. This would bring its share price back to pre-pandemic levels. Bears want to see it trend down and follow the descending trendline until it loses support at the $85 mark. Virgin Galactic Holdings Inc’s (NYSE: SPCE) stock had been trending downward since making a new all-time high of $62.80 on Feb. 4. On March 25, Virgin Galactic stock reversed trend, however, and put in a daily higher low but has since settled into a bearish descending triangle with an apex of April 21. Virgin Galactic’s stock has been repeatedly testing the descending trendline holding it down, and bulls want to see the stock break up over it. If the stock can break through the descending trendline, it has room to move up to its next resistance at $34.60. If it busts through that, Virgin Galactic’s stock can move up further to fill the gap in the $39 to $41 range. With Virgin Galactic’s next test flight expected in May, positive sentiment may help the stock make a bullish move up. Bears want to see Virgin Galactic stock trade in the descending triangle until it loses support at $27.55. AAL, RCL and SPCE Price Action: Shares of American Airlines closed flat at $23.54 Friday.

Why a Cratered Virgin Galactic Stock May Have More Downside Risk
Virgin Galactic (NYSE:SPCE) shares have crashed after a moonshot rally to start 2021. But what are the chances for a second launch? Or is there a more durable manned mission for SPCE stock investors to explore? Let’s take a look at market conditions off and on the price chart, then offer a risk-adjusted determination aligned with that information. Source: Tun Pichitanon / Shutterstock.com To boldly go where no man has gone before, or rather no prior SPCE investors. In early January and as a beneficiary of the GameStop (NYSE:GME) short-squeeze meme trade, shares of Sir Richard Branson’s space tourism outfit rocketed higher by nearly 150% in less than three weeks to all-time-highs. Heady short interest at the time in excess of 70% of the stock’s float certainly played a hand in the spectacular rally. Yet, as with its well-shorted peers though, the ride up in SPCE stock didn’t last. From GameStop to AMC (NYSE:AMC), Blackberry (NYSE:BB), Koss Inc. (NASDAQ:KOSS) and others, SPCE shares plunged nearly as fast. And in less than four trading weeks Virgin Galactic was back on the launch pad with some obvious wear and tear. So, what exactly happened?InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice & Trading Tips The Short Story Vastly reduced short-interest fuel from burned and battered bears covering on the way up is one obvious choice for SPCE’s steep stock correction of 62%. Today, the amount of stock being sold short stands at a comparatively meager 15%. The fact is the once sky-high statistic appears to have shed over 85% on the ride up. According to MarketBeat, the percentage of SPCE shares being shorted was down to 10% of the stock’s float near its early February peak valuation. But Virgin has another threat which it can’t simply shake off. 7 Great Stocks to Buy Under $10 To be fair, Virgin Galactic’s stock correction of the past couple months has likely been helped by testing challenges in the New Mexico desert, which persist to this day. But the other drag on SPCE shares and possibly more lethal longer-term is another starship attempting to boldly go into Virgin’s extraterrestrial turf. Competition from Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) CEO Elon Musk’s SpaceX venture appears to have assisted with the cratering share price in SPCE. SpaceX is currently working on prototype, vertical-take-off and landing or VTOL tests for its spacecraft called Starship. If successful, Starship will be the world’s biggest vessel with those capabilities. That could severely impact SPCE’s mission. There are real-world constraints of flying just a half dozen paying customers for a very pricey few minutes of weightless flight time. The thing is, SpaceX’s Starship would be able to fly 100 tourists for once-in-a-lifetime extraterrestrial journeys that could theoretically last weeks. Bottom line, betting against Elon has consistently proven a losing business proposition. And rather than worrying about the size of SPCE’s bearish passengers on any given day, bullish investors may be increasingly prone to permanently aborting that mission altogether. SPCE Stock Weekly Price Chart Source: Charts by TradingView I’ll be the first to admit, it wasn’t long ago the technical visuals on SPCE stock had my interest as a name to buy as shares carved out a smaller triangle pattern. Combined with Virgin finding support off the 62% retracement level tied to its November 2019 all-time-low and challenging the stock’s launch area out of a larger triangle prior to this year’s massive rally, SPCE was on the radar for purchasing. But an actual SPCE stock buy decision remains on hold. It may also be permanently disabled. A detailed wait-and-see approach based on a breakout above pattern resistance near $33.50 and backed by a bullish stochastics crossover hasn’t occurred. What’s more, positioning in SPCE is now favoring a nearby bearish initiation. This is based on what we’re seeing off and on the price chart. With the secondary indicator already bearishly crossed, I’d look to gain short exposure as shares lose the 62% level, as well as triangle support if SPCE sinks below last week’s hammer-like doji candlestick. From there, a bearish leaning May $26/$22/$18 put butterfly combination that’s profitably centered near deeper zone support of $17.50 to about $21.50 looks like a good way to suit up.
