The share price of American Airlines currently trades in a broad sideways trend over the long term. In the near term, we have seen a bullish price reversal off the 12.85 support level and from oversold territory. 14.70 becomes the initial resistance target from the move while a close below the 12.85 support level might be used as a stop loss indication.

To unlock meaningful gains, traders might hope to see a break above resistance (14.70), confirmed with a close, in which case 17.40 would become a further upside resistance target from the move.
