TUE 2/24: SNCY – CALLING A 3RD SELL SIGNAL @ $19.73 +26.23%

1:47 PM – Shares have quieted down and are now breaking below the ROUND-$20 support level. After a strong, quick run higher, momentum is starting to fade as merger talks continue to create uncertainty. This is swing trading. When a stock delivers sharp gains and then begins to stall and violate support, it’s time to lock in profits and rotate into another selection with potentially quicker upside.

SELL SIGNALS:
1/13 (1/3) @ $17.05 +9.1%
1/26 (1/3) @ $17.38 +11.2%
2/24 (1/3) @ $19.73 +26.23%

OVERALL P/L: +15.5%

ULTRA Trader’s Tip: Take Strength — Don’t Marry It

    • Strong gains are a gift — but only if you capture them.

    • When momentum fades and support breaks, character has changed.

    • Swing trading is about rotation, not attachment.

    • Book profits. Reallocate. Stay in moving stocks.

MON 1/26: SNCY – CALLING A PROFIT TAKING 2ND SELL SIGNAL @ $17.38 +11.2%

12:15 PM – Calling a 2ND PROFIT-TAKING SELL SIGNAL as shares break below the 10 DMA with a +44% increase in volume, confirming a loss of short-term momentum. The next key support sits t $17.00; a decisive break below that level would trigger the FINAL SELL SIGNAL.

SELL SIGNALS:
1/13 (1/3) @ $17.05 +9.1%

OVERALL P/L: +10.2%

ULTRA Trader’s Tip: Volume Confirms the Violation

  • Breaks of the 10 DMA matter most when volume expands.

  • Increased volume signals distribution, not random movement.

  • Scaling out as momentum fails protects gains before weakness accelerates.

TUE 1/13: SNCY – CALLING A 1ST SELL SIGNAL @ $17.05 +9.1%

10:03 AM – Taking 1/3 off the table this morning following yesterday’s sharp, news-driven move on merger headlines. Locking in partial gains after a fast extension is disciplined risk management.

SELL SIGNALS:
1/13 (1/3) @ $17.05 +9.1%

ULTRA Trader’s Tip: Sell Strength After News Spikes

  • News-driven surges often lead to fast extensions and short-term exhaustion.

  • Taking partial profits into strength reduces the risk of giving gains back.

  • Let the chart — not the headline — dictate position management.

BUY SIGNALS:

ULTRA Trader’s Tip: The 10 DMA Is the Trigger

  • Moves off the 10 DMA with volume often reflect early institutional demand.

  • Buying close to support keeps risk tight and decision-making clean.

  • When price and volume align, act decisively.
