JNJ Bullish Outlook Suggests Further Upside for Next Year

Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ) released its third-quarter earnings and revenue in mid October 2019 which beat Wall Street’s expectations. Despite facing a sell-off during that week, the stock managed to establish a major low in October and it has been rallying higher since then looking to challenge 2018 peak.

Let’s take a look at the technical picture for JNJ using Elliott Wave Theory to understand the overall structure and look for the next path :

The stock is currently showing an incomplete impulsive Elliott Wave structure from August 2019 low as it managed to break above the 1.618 fib ext level $147 suggestion further continuation higher within the 3rd wave which started since 10/24/2019. Wave ((3)) is usually the strongest within the cycle, therefore JNJ is expected to remain supported above $126 and can see extension higher toward target area $152 - $158 before ending the 4 Hour cycle.
