Intraday Fundamentals
Shares of American Airlines Group Inc. (AAL) rallied 2.8% in premarket trading Wednesday, after the air carrier raised its second-quarter unit revenue outlook, citing higher-than-expected load factor as seat supply was below expectations. The company said it now expects total revenue per available seat mile (TRASM) to increase 3.0% to 4.0% from a year ago, up from its previous guidance range of up 1.0% to 3.0%. Meanwhile, the company said cargo revenue was lower than projections given weakness across Asian and European markets.

This stock has been in a downtrend most of the year. However, recent price action suggest that it may be breaking that trendline. It could also be setting up for a shallower trendline and maybe even a trading range in this area.

Trading Strategy
Long at 33 if it holds in the opening with a stop at 32.85 target at 33.40
Breakout trade over 33.50 stop at 33.20 target 33.80 (ick) Move stop quickly if this trade moves right
Watch for shorts at these price targets are hit and cannot hold
Reading the tape
On the early trade, I did not see anything in that short period that convinced me to take the trade. I needed to pay better attention to the tape one the second trade. There may have been something there that would have told me not to try for the bounce.
Trade Management
Notes
• A long at 33 was the game plan “IF IT HELD” not if it broke 33.00
• Set a limit instead of chasing..especiallly this early
• VWAP bounce trade.. not in the game plan, but a trade that I believe has edge
• Powell’s testimony may have hurt this stock today after a raise in guidance
