There are mixed signals in the stock today. The Johnson & Johnson stock holds a buy signal from the short-term Moving Average; at the same time, however, the long-term average holds a general sell signal. Since the longterm average is above the short-term average there is a general sell signal in the stock giving a more negative forecast for the stock. On further gains, the stock will meet resistance from the long-term Moving Average at $158.58. On a fall, the stock will find some support from the short-term average at $156.27.
