However, the real news for data-driven options traders is that DAL stock briefly flashed a rare quantitative signal, implying a positive outlook for the carrier.\nOn the fundamental front, most of the attention has been paid to the framework paving the way to reopen the government through Jan. 30 after weeks of political stalemate. At the core of the dispute were healthcare subsidies, which have long been a contentious rallying cry in Washington. Without an agreement at the time, the deadlock disrupted essential services throughout the country, including the transportation sector.\nHowever, with the U.S. Senate passing a bipartisan deal to help pave a clearer path ahead, DAL stock and other airline securities popped higher. In addition, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy recently urged air traffic controllers to get back to work, reassuring them that they will receive \"70% of their pay\" within \"24 to 48 hours\" of the government reopening.\nMoreover, President Donald Trump weighed in, offering a $10,000 bonus to ATCs who didn't miss a single day of work during the shutdown. In response, DAL stock jumped nearly 5% on Wednesday, breaching the psychologically significant $60 level.\nStill, as great as the headlines have been, the enthusiasm regarding the shutdown deal has largely been baked into Delta stock. Moving forward, it's a rare quant signal that may be of interest for prospective speculators.\nOne of the clearest indicators that the equities market isn't purely efficient is the underlying fluctuations in enterprise value. If all available information were supposedly priced into a particular security, there'd be no reason for volatility outside of new, unpredictable information instantaneously entering the system.\nHowever, information diffusion isn't uniform and behavioral responses — fear, greed, anchoring, herding — aren't consistent either. Combined with other structural considerations, such as liquidity and pressure dynamics, these multiple variables compound to create the fluctuations that traders speculate on.\nNow, the problem with the traditional approaches of fundamental and technical analysis is that these frameworks are hypotheses based almost entirely on the person making the claim. Different experts can look at the same income statement or price chart and often arrive at differing — sometimes contradictory — conclusions.\nIn contrast, quantitative approach is not hypothesis-based but is observational. Once a ruleset is established, the underlying analysis is tied to empirical calculations. Therefore, the implications are independent of the user as multiple analysts — so long as they abide by the same ruleset — will arrive at the same observational conclusion.\nIn the case of DAL stock, the use of Russian axioms — which treat price behavior as a discretized, measurable probability space — allows for the calculation of forward 10-week median returns. Arranged as a distributive curve, outcomes would be expected to range between $56.20 and $61.80 (assuming an anchor of $57.74, Tuesday's close). Further, primary price clustering would likely occur at $58.30.\nThe above assessment represents expectations based on all aggregated sequences going back to January 2019. However, as of Tuesday's close, DAL stock flashed a rare, highly distributive quant signal, with the security arranged in a 3-7-D formation; that is, in the trailing 10 weeks up to Tuesday's close, DAL had printed three up weeks, seven down weeks, with an overall downward slope.\nUnder this specific signal, the fat-tail risk of DAL stock will likely extend to almost $54. However, the fat-tail reward is projected to hit $70. Most significantly, price clustering under 3-7-D conditions would likely be predominant at around $64.30.\nIn other words, there's an 10.29% variance in clustering or grouping effects under normal conditions versus the circumstance that flashed at the end of Tuesday's session. Call it a pricing inefficiency or informational arbitrage, there's an expectational gap that the quant approach can identify, which fundamental and technical analysis is blind to.\nWith the market intelligence above, several ideas exist that may entice speculators. However, the one trade that arguably stands out the most is the 62.50/65.00 bull call spread expiring Dec. 19. This transaction involves buying the $62.50 call and simultaneously selling the $65 call, for a net debit paid of $102 (the most that can be lost).\nIf DAL stock rises through the second-leg strike price ($65) at expiration, the maximum profit is $148, a payout of over 145%. Moreover, the breakeven price is $63.52, which is a contextually realistic target based on the aforementioned clustering forecast.63\nPrimarily, the trade is tempting because the $65 strike that would trigger the max payout falls well within the distributional meat of outcomes associated with the 3-7-D signal flashing. Now, assuming that DAL stock continues its upward trajectory, the security will likely finish structured as a 4-6-D sequence, which carries different implications.\nHowever, the argument here is that, for a brief moment, DAL was structured in a highly distributive state. Traders historically see good value in this structure and therefore, the hypothesis is that the stock has a solid chance of moving upward from the current level.\nThe opinions and views expressed in this content are those of the individual author and do not necessarily reflect the views of Benzinga.
