JNJ - Ascending Triangle + Bad NewsI absolutely hate this company.
- Moving averages suggest bullish trend.
- 3rd attempt at major resistance.
- Doji Candle formed = change in trend/momentum.
- "Inside Day" pattern formed = Suggesting a continuation of the current trend. In this situation, it should continue the uptrend for a short period of time until a new pattern/confluence forms.
- However, JNJ can't catch a break regarding its vaccine. Issue after issue...
- Earnings Report - 7/21
This is a patience play. If you like to jump the gun, you could get burned...but with proper risk management, it may be worth the risk.
If you trade options:
Aggressive --> Play the Doji this week. 2 week expiration.
Moderate --> Wait for a few candles to form after today's doji. 1-2 month expiration.
Conservative --> Wait until after earnings. October expiration.

Johnson and Johnson Struggling Below a Historic Resistance The share price appears unable to break out above the historic resistance level at 170.00, which represents a very strong bearish signal.
Moreover, the price action has recently established a broad 1-5 impulse wave pattern, as postulated by the Elliott Wave Theory, as well as having developed an Ascending Wedge. Both of these developments confirm the bearish expectations.
Finally, yesterday's trading session resulted in the creation of a Shooting Star candle, which could be a precursor to an imminent reversal.
Overall, there seems to be a very strong confluence of bearish indications at present.
The 23.6 and 38.2 per cent Fibonacci retracement levels represent the most likely targets for such a dropdown.
Symmetrical Triangle Ascending Triangle173.65 is the long term high.
JNJ has broken free of both triangles, as well as the bollinger bands.
Bollinger bands are set on this chart using an eighty day moving average verses the norm of 20. Price is above the top band today which is bullish, but it is likely that price will return to the inside of the bands.

JNJ 1.272 Fib Ext Target IdentifiedJNJ which is a component of the DOW is scanning on A6 with a short squeeze setup. Using Fib extension 1.272 target, a price target has been identified to be approx $175. This extension was developed using the March 4th and 29th lows and highs, respectively. A6 scanning implies there is news being priced in and perhaps JNJ may announce or report new drug studies that could ignite the price to push toward the 2.618 fib ext which is $186. If this is the case, then JNJ may as well run toward a psych tgt of $200 sometime within the next 14 to 34 trading days.
