Spirit Airlines, Inc. (NYSE:SAVE) shares are trading higher Tuesday. The company introduced new premium offerings, and a U.S. appeals court has put a stop to President Joe Biden‘s administration's rule requiring airlines to disclose fees upfront.
The Details:
Airline stocks are trading higher after the Fifth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals temporarily blocked a rule requiring airlines to disclose fees upfront, stating that it "likely exceeds DOT's authority and will irreparably harm airlines."

Equity research analysts on and off Wall Street typically use earnings growth and fundamental research as a form of valuation and forecasting. But many in trading turn to technical analysis as a way to form predictive models for share price trajectory.
Some investors look to trends to help forecast where they believe a stock could trade at a certain point in the future. Looking at Spirit Airlines, an investor could make an assessment about a stock's long term prospects using a moving average and trend line. If they believe a stock will remain above the moving average, which many believe is a bullish signal, they can extrapolate that trend into the future using a trend line. For Spirit Airlines, the 200-day moving average sits at $7.66, according to Benzinga Pro, which is above the current price of $3.07. For more on charts and trend lines, see a description here.
