2025-09-30 CASH
Summary: Staying in cash as JNJ is at overbought highs in the uptrend without a dip for entry, recent volume capitulation supported the bounce but price is extended near potential resistance, and upcoming earnings on 10/14/2025 add risk without meeting hold-through criteria.

The chart shows JNJ closing at 185.54 on 9/30/2025 after a strong rally from the volume capitulation low of 174.21 on 9/22, confirming an uptrend with EMA (176.72) above SMA (174.96) and price well above both, but RSI at 71 indicates overbought conditions that often precede pullbacks in this stock's history.

Reviewing trade history, we've had success buying dips in uptrends like the 9/10 entry at 175.79 after a pullback to support, exiting profitably at 179.71 on 9/26 near resistance with fading momentum; re-entering now would ignore that lesson by chasing highs, especially since the recent exit was just days ago and no significant dip or new catalyst justifies quick re-entry at a worse price.

Simulating based on past patterns, similar overbought rallies in July-August (e.g., post-earnings run to 174.42 on 8/13) led to pullbacks to rising supports around 174-178, with win rates over 50% on dip buys but frequent whipsaws when entering at peaks; here, potential downside to supports at 174.33 or rising trendline near 177 outweighs upside, as no clear resistance break with conviction volume suggests exhaustion.

Searching recent news: A report on 9/29 about JNJ's positive trial results for a new drug is bullish (credible from FDA filing, timely, potential for 5-10% upside on approval buzz), but neutral market reaction so far amid broader sector caution; another on supply chain improvements is neutral (low impact, unverified). No material bearish items. Fundamentals remain strong with healthcare demand, but technicals prioritize—uptrend is intact but not dipping for high-confidence long entry, and as a pharma stock, shorting is off-limits.

No other event catalysts within 3 days; next earnings 10/14/2025. Overall, opportunistic setup lacking—better to wait for a pullback to supports for favorable risk/reward.
2025-09-29 CASH
Summary: Staying in cash as JNJ is in a confirmed uptrend but at the top of its recent range around 180-182 without a dip for entry, with earnings on 10/14/2025 approaching and no criteria met to hold through, avoiding re-entry soon after 9/26 exit at 179.71 since price is higher without new bullish catalysts justifying it....
2025-09-26 SOLD
Summary: Exiting long JNJ position near resistance at 179.5 after multi-week rally from 175.79 entry, with uptrend intact but overbought RSI around 60, positive MACD, and next earnings on 10/14/2025 approaching, securing profits amid no major breakdowns but potential pullback risk....
2025-09-25 HOLD LONG
Summary: Holding long on JNJ as the uptrend remains confirmed with EMA above SMA and price above both, recent volume capitulation at 174.21 supporting the bounce, no immediate catalysts or breakdowns, and earnings on 10/14/2025 still allowing hold until closer. Technical indicators like RSI at 54.76 (neutral, not overbought), MACD improving (0.6741 above signal), and Stochastic climbing support continued momentum, while the price is approaching resistance at 179.5 but hasn't hit it yet—past simulations from similar bounces (e.g., July post-earnings rally from 155 to 169) show multi-week holds to resistance often pay off without immediate reversals....
2025-09-24 HOLD LONG
Summary: Holding long on JNJ due to confirmed uptrend with EMA above SMA and price above both, recent volume capitulation at 174.21 signaling a bottom with bounce to 176.47, no immediate negative catalysts, and next earnings on 10/14/2025 allowing continued multi-week hold. Technicals prioritize here, and the chart's rising support trendline around 172.8 (with positive slope and prior bounces) adds confluence for holding long, as price is above it and not testing the bottom of any range. Resistance is noted at 179.5 with moderate strength (2 bounces, recently tested), so I'll monitor for an exit near there if momentum fades, but current positioning isn't at the top, and RSI at 52.54 is neutral, avoiding overbought signals like past exits (e.g., RSI near 70 in August trades). MACD is positive at 0.6364 with the line above signal, and Slow STO shows bullish crossover potential without extreme overbought readings....
2025-09-23 HOLD LONG
Summary: Holding long on JNJ as the uptrend persists with EMA above SMA and price above both, recent volume capitulation at 174.21 signals a potential bottom with bounce to 175.98 near support, no major negative catalysts, and next earnings on 10/14/2025 allows continued hold without immediate exit pressure. There's no evidence of volume capitulation invalidation, as price hasn't sustained below the 174.21 low for 5 consecutive bars—in fact, it bounced immediately on 9/23 with a green candle, aligning with the entry rationale from 9/10 that highlighted capitulation and support at 172-175. Technical indicators support this: RSI at 51.33 is neutral, avoiding overbought territory; MACD at 0.63 with signal at 1.32 shows convergence but not a bearish crossover; Stochastic %K at 30.24 is rising from oversold, suggesting building momentum. Bollinger Bands are at 179.52 upper and 174.30 lower, with price near the middle, indicating room for expansion upward without immediate squeeze....

2025-08-25 BUY
Summary: Entered long on JNJ at around 178.66 in confirmed uptrend with price above EMA and SMA, strong momentum from recent highs, supported by rising support at 178.28 and positive healthcare sector tailwinds, targeting 185-190 resistance over multi-week hold despite overbought RSI, as no immediate catalysts or reversals evident; re-entering after 8/13 exit due to continued breakout above prior highs with higher volume and no pullback materializing, indicating sustained buying pressure.
