Alaska Air Is Coming In For A Hard Landing

Leading airline stock Alaska Air Group, Inc. (NYSE:ALK) has been under selling pressure for most of 2017. This stock topped out on March 1, 2017 at $101.43 a share. Since that peak in the stock price shares have fallen by nearly 36.0 percent. Today, ALK stock is trading at $64.82 a share. Traders and investors should note that ALK stock is trading below its 200 week moving average. This is a very negative chart formation that ultimately indicates lower stock prices ahead.

So where is the next major support level for ALK stock? It looks as if this stock was defended by the institutional money back in July 2016. This tells me that the institutional crowd will likely defend this stock again when it trades down to the $56.50 area which was the July 2016 low. I will be a buyer of ALK shares at this level with a weekly chart stop loss below $53.00. This should serve as solid risk/reward trade setup. The first upside target would be the $61.00 level. See you on the charts!
