After selling off from January into June, UAL started trading sideways over the following few months. While in the sideways move, the stock has formed a key pair of price levels that are worth watching. UAL has a resistance at $60 (red) and a $50 support (green). At some point one of those levels will have to break.

The Tale of the Tape: UAL is trading inside a trading range. The possible long positions on the stock would be either on a pullback to $50 or on a breakout above $60. The ideal short opportunity would be on a break below $50.
