Good gap up and now 2 inside days, looks like a bullish or bearish entry depending on how it breaks. I am guessing bearish, we will see.
UAL is approaching our first support at 78.91 (horizontal overlap support, 100% fibonacci retracement, 50% fibonacci retracemenet) where a strong bounce might occur above this level pushing price up to our major resistance at 88.11 (50% fibonacci retracement).

96 Relative strength rating. Nice consolidation during market rout. One of the strongest in Airlines group. On weekly recovering from small pullback after breaking out of long base.
