LUV support and resistance levels

Price was turned away at a ceiling near $57.27 about 8 weeks ago and has been sliding since. On the weekly chart, the next floor below sits near $39.24 — still about 1.0% away.

  • Traders commonly watch $39.24 as a target (its 61.8% retracement) — think of it as a sensible next stop, not a guarantee.
  • That floor is the first place the slide might steady — worth watching how price behaves as it gets there.
  • There's nothing to act on here — the spot to watch was the $57.27 ceiling about 8 weeks ago, when price was turned away there, but price has already pulled lower. What's left is the slide playing out, not a fresh starting point.
