Friday's Finalist: JNJ

The New Jersey health-care products company Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) was the sole survivor from the early rounds of analysis. (See "Friday's Prospects".)

It confirmed Thursday's bull signal today by continuing to trade beyond the 20-day price channel. However, JNJ's chart isn't yet sufficiently bullish to support a trade.

The price peaked on Sept. 24 at $108.77. Today's high so far is $108.18, slightly short of a break beyond resistance.

Until that resistance level is pierced, and decisively so, JNJ can be interpreted as engaging in a counter-trend upward correction within a downtrend.

So I won't take the trade, and plan no further analysis from Thursday's market session.
