DAL Daily Chart from Dec 22 to Apr 23 with Stoch RSI (Plot using Tradingview)
Over the weekend, I attended an investment class and is using of one of the indicator to find a stock to buy for my portfolio. Today I will share my research on $Delta Air Lines(DAL)$ which will be have earning report on their 1Q 2023 this coming 13 April 2023.
On the chart above I am using a TA (Technical Analysis) Stochastic RSI (S-RSI) to determine whether the stock is over sold (<0.2) or over brought (<0.8), S-RSI will fluctuates between 0 and 1, with readings below 0.2 considered oversold and those above 0.8 reflecting overbought conditions.
As the chart above I circle a few areas namely A,B,C (Blue Circle), 1,2,3 (Red Circle) and Orange( the current crossing).
As we observed at ABC, the S-RSI Blue line goes below S-RSI Yellow line the stocks price will drop especially when it is at the over brought range indicate in B and C.
We also observed at Circle 123, when S-RSI Blue line crossed and go above S-RSI Yellow line and in the over sold range (below 0.2) the stock price rally.
The orange circle show the S-RSI Blue (74.2 or 0.742) and S-RSI Yellow (76.8 or 0.768) crossing again but it could goes either directions and it is just below the over brought line. So it is a Buy or Sell? Let look at other indicators.

Book Value Per Share Last 5 Quarters Source: stockanalysis.com
DAL has beat the earning forecast for the last 5 Quarters. As air travel resume even if the FED is going to increase the interest. Air travel will be a norm as many choose to travel after a long lock down. DAL maybe a good position between other Airlines as Travellers are price sensitive. Oil price will be sensitive to airline but it does not hamper travelling as travel is still a fast option and US are use to travel by planes. DAL is definitely over price vs book value per share. But is a discount from their median 49-55 range. So it is a good buy?
I will probably buy at a better price. But at the long run, I can't see air travel will goes south unless another pandemic strikes. What is your pick?

Travel stocks can be on rebound as more cities have lifted off covid measures. I bet travel insurance will also increase in sales but this year have too much water elements, insurance payout will be plenty. Services will see a reverse and I am focus on such sector. Hope every have a good run. [Call] [Claw]
