Bottom line
JNJ Technical Analysis Summary
JNJ shows a mixed daily picture within a longer-term uptrend. The stock pulled back from the 52-week high at 274.90 reached in late July and now trades at 254.41, below SMA20 (257.54) but above SMA50 (245.65) and SMA200 (225.13). RSI at 50.16 on the daily chart has moved to neutral after the pullback, and the daily MACD histogram has turned negative. The weekly chart remains bullish with price above all key moving averages, RSI at 60.68, and a positive MACD histogram. Key support rests at the 20-day low of 245.49 near the SMA50 at 245.65, with deeper support at the 60-day low of 219.11. Resistance is at the 20-day and 52-week high of 274.90. A reclaim of SMA20 at 257.54 would signal that the pullback has stabilized.

Daily (August 3, 2026)
- Trend
- Mixed. Price at 254.41 sits below SMA20 (257.54) after a pullback from the late July high, but remains above SMA50 (245.65) and SMA200 (225.13). The short-term trend has turned neutral while the longer-term structure stays positive.
- Momentum
- Neutral. RSI14 at 50.16 has fallen back to the midpoint after the pullback, and MACD at 3.38 is below the signal line at 4.31 with a negative histogram of -0.93, showing fading upside momentum.
- Volatility
- Moderate. ATR14 at 6.43 (2.53% of price) reflects normal daily swings for a large-cap healthcare stock. Bollinger Bands (245.45 to 269.64) show price in the middle of the band range after retreating from the upper band.
- Volume
- Near average. Latest volume of 8,133,600 is 99.5% of the 20-period average (8,173,755), indicating participation has normalized during the pullback.
Assessment
The daily chart shows a pullback within an established uptrend. Price broke below SMA20 after peaking at 274.90 on July 28 and now holds above SMA50 at 245.65, which is the nearest support zone along with the 20-day low at 245.49. RSI at 50.16 has neutralized, and the negative MACD histogram reflects the recent corrective phase. A reclaim of SMA20 at 257.54 would signal stabilization, and a sustained move above 274.90 would resume the uptrend. Holding above 245.49 keeps the intermediate uptrend intact.
Weekly (July 27, 2026 week)
- Trend
- Bullish. Price at 256.35 is above SMA20 (239.50), SMA50 (217.68), and well above SMA200 (166.09). The SMA200 is sloping strongly upward, confirming a mature long-term uptrend.
- Momentum
- Bullish. RSI14 at 60.68 is in bullish territory below the 70 overbought level. MACD at 11.19 is above the signal line at 9.94 with a positive histogram of 1.25, confirming steady upside momentum on the weekly scale.
- Volatility
- Moderate. ATR14 at 12.65 (4.93% of price) reflects normal weekly ranges for JNJ in an uptrend.
- Volume
- Slightly above average. Weekly volume of 41,243,100 is 106.2% of the 20-week average (38,829,175), showing healthy participation.
Assessment
The weekly chart reinforces the longer-term bullish structure. Price trades above all major moving averages with the SMA200 rising, RSI at 60.68 provides room for further upside, and the positive MACD histogram confirms steady momentum. The 52-week position at 83.5% reflects a stock trading near its highs. The daily pullback is so far contained on the weekly view, and the 20-week low at 219.11 is the key support that would signal structural damage if broken.
