There is no current Support Plan to trigger a buy of this stock at this time. This usually means that there are no clear support levels at this time, so buying the stock as it falls could be considered catching a falling knife. Buy signals only exist if resistance breaks higher.
This often is a signal that the stock you are watching is weak. Waiting for a turn higher may be more intelligent than trying to catch a falling knife. In any case, new support levels are usually revised to the database at the beginning of the next trading session.
The technical summary data is suggesting a short of JNJ as it gets near 146.7, but the downside target is not available from the current data. This tells us to hold that position if it is triggered until a new downside target has been established (updates occur at the beginning of every trading session) or until the position has been stopped. The summary data tells us to have a stop loss in place at 147.12. 146.7 is the first level of resistance above 144.47, and by rule, any test of resistance is a short signal. In this case, if resistance 146.7 is being tested, so a short signal would exist.
If 144.96 begins to break higher, the technical summary data tells us to buy JNJ just slightly over 144.96, with an upside target of 146.7. The data also tells us to set a stop loss @ 144.54 in case the stock turns against the trade. 144.96 is the first level of resistance above 144.47, and by rule, any break above resistance is a buy signal. In this case, 144.96, initial resistance, would be breaking higher, so a buy signal would exist. Because this plan is based on a break of resistance, it is referred to as a Long Resistance Plan.
The technical summary data is suggesting a short of JNJ if it tests 144.96 with a downside target of 142.8. We should have a stop loss in place at 145.38 though in case the stock begins to move against the trade. By rule, any test of resistance is a short signal. In this case, if resistance, 144.96, is being tested a short signal would exist. Because this plan is a short plan based on a test of resistance it is referred to as a Short Resistance Plan.
If 145.15 begins to break higher, the technical summary data tells us to buy JNJ just slightly over 145.15, with an upside target of 146.7. The data also tells us to set a stop loss @ 144.81 in case the stock turns against the trade. 145.15 is the first level of resistance above 144.47, and by rule, any break above resistance is a buy signal. In this case, 145.15, initial resistance, would be breaking higher, so a buy signal would exist. Because this plan is based on a break of resistance, it is referred to as a Long Resistance Plan.
The technical summary data is suggesting a short of JNJ if it tests 145.15 with a downside target of 143.57. We should have a stop loss in place at 145.49 though in case the stock begins to move against the trade. By rule, any test of resistance is a short signal. In this case, if resistance, 145.15, is being tested a short signal would exist. Because this plan is a short plan based on a test of resistance it is referred to as a Short Resistance Plan.
