SAIA stock completed a bullish MACD crossover yesterday, although on very limited trading volume.
This is somewhat to be expected though, given the broader market volatility that we are currently experiencing, as folks don’t know what move to make next just yet.
Their RSI is still in the over-sold range at 44, showing that there should be more upwards momentum for their price in the near-term.
Their next resistance test will be at the $310-311-price level, followed by the $315 level.
This looks to be able to add even more positive momentum, as breaking through these ranges will also break them out over their 50 Day MA.

SAIA Inc. SAIA Stock As A Short-Term Trade Opportunity Using Options
SAIA stock can be traded using options in order to take advantage of current momentum, while warding off broader market volatility.
I am looking at the contracts with the 2/18 expiration date.
The $280 & $290 calls look appealing, although there is much more favorable liquidity in the latter, despite them being out of the money.
The $290 & $300 puts are extremely illiquid, although more contracts could be written in the near future, as we did just have an expiration date pass by for the last batch of contracts.
Tying It All Together
All-in-all, there appear to be many interesting opportunities in SAIA stock.
Investors may like their valuation, as well as their balance sheet, although be discouraged by their lack of a dividend.
Traders will like their current momentum, although they may be discouraged by SAIA’s lack of liquidity in puts & in-the-money calls.
SAIA stock is worth taking a closer look at – regardless of your trading strategy.
