JetBlue Airways Corporation could begin to recover as it approaches significant support, now 8 cents away from $6.71. Dipping below could be an indication that further losses are ahead. Despite being in the red so far in the current trading session, JetBlue peaked above its 21 day Simple Moving Average around $6.96 — typically an early indicator of a new bullish trend beginning to emerge. JetBlue's lower Bollinger Band® is at $6.6, indicating that the asset has overextended to the downside and could, therefore, bounce back as buyers look for bargains.
Overall, looking at the technical analysis landscape, it seems JetBlue Airways —which is currently on a downtrend— might reverse course and start pointing upward in the short term.
