$JNJ Johnson & Johnson “weekly” Stock Chart
At askSlim, we use technical analysis to evaluate price charts of stocks, futures, and ETF’s. We use a combination of cycle, trend and momentum chart studies, on multiple timeframes, to present a “sum of the evidence” directional outlook in time and price.
askSlim Technical Briefing:
The weekly cycle analysis suggests that JNJ is in a declining phase. The next projected intermediate-term low is due between early July and early August. Weekly momentum is negative.
On the upside, there is an intermediate-term Fibonacci resistance zone from 131.83 – 137.18. On the downside, there is a Fibonacci support zone from 118.99 – 117.28 followed by another zone of support from 109.57 – 107.17. Our analysis suggests that for the bulls to regain control of the intermediate-term, we would likely need to see a weekly close above 144.80.
askSlim Sum of the Evidence:
JNJ is in a declining phase with negative momentum. Given these conditions, we would expect any rallies in the near-term to be limited to the weekly resistance zone beginning at 131.83. There is a likelihood that the stock tests the lower Fibonacci support zone beginning at 109.57 by early August.
