Johnson & Johnson (JNJ): 2024 Challenges, 2025 OpportunitiesJohnson & Johnson could become one of the standout plays for 2025 if key levels are respected.
A Brief Recap of NYSE:JNJ in 2024
Johnson & Johnson experienced a challenging year. The company finalized the spin-off of its Consumer Health division, sharpening its focus on Pharmaceuticals and MedTech. In April, J&J completed the acquisition of Shockwave Medical for $12.5 billion, strengthening its cardiovascular MedTech portfolio. Financially, the company performed well, surpassing Q3 expectations with $22.5 billion in revenue (+5.2% YoY) and an EPS of $2.42.
Despite the positives, the stock faced significant headwinds, peaking at $170 in August before dropping to $140 by December—a 15% decline over the quarter.
While we briefly considered a potential outperformance in 2024, we refrained from entering a long position, which proved to be the right decision. Looking ahead, 2025 may offer renewed opportunities. For NYSE:JNJ to regain bullish momentum, it must respect the lower edge of the long-standing trend channel established in October 2021. Ideally, we would like to see a fake-out below this channel to trigger a bearish shakeout, followed by a reversal that targets higher levels.
For the longer term, our outlook includes the potential to test the $116–$100 range. However, if our 2025 thesis aligns with technical developments, we will consider adding exposure to $JNJ.

S&P 500 Daily Chart Analysis For Week of Jan 3, 2025Technical Analysis and Outlook:
During this abbreviated trading week, the S&P 500 made a wild ride pullback against a very significant Mean Sup 5870. Subsequently, it rallied robustly, approaching our newly established target of Key Resistance at 5972.

Walgreens Boots Alliance: Stability and Growth in the Healthcare1. Stable position in the healthcare sector
Walgreens Boots Alliance is one of the leading pharmaceutical chains in the world. With a network of thousands of pharmacies and health centers, the company plays a key role in the provision of healthcare services, especially in the US and Europe. This makes it resilient to economic cycles, as healthcare is an indispensable part of life.
2. Dividends for shareholders
Walgreens is known for regularly paying dividends to its shareholders, which makes it attractive to investors looking for passive income. The company is part of the so-called Dividend Aristocrats, which means that it has increased its dividends for decades.
3. Expansion in the field of digital healthcare
Walgreens invests in technology and digital solutions to improve access to medicines and healthcare services. Online pharmacy and telemedicine platforms are part of their strategy for future development, which provides them with a competitive advantage.
4. Strategic Partnerships and Innovation
The company has partnered with leading healthcare organizations and technologies such as VillageMD to create clinics in Walgreens stores. This improves access to healthcare services and increases revenue.
5. Revenue Diversification
In addition to pharmacies, Walgreens also has a strong presence in the cosmetics and personal care sector through Boots, which diversifies revenue and makes it less dependent on one sector.
6. Opportunities at a lower stock valuation
Walgreens shares have been under pressure in recent years due to macroeconomic factors and changes in the sector. This could represent a buying opportunity if an investor believes the company will recover and continue its growth.
7. Global Presence
Walgreens has business operations in multiple countries, which provides access to different markets and reduces the risk of local economic shocks.
Potential Risks:
Competition from online giants such as Amazon entering the healthcare sector.
Pressure on margins due to regulations in the pharmaceutical sector.
It needs significant investments in innovation and modernization.

SPY Triple Bottom, Rally time?!AMEX:SPY SP:SPX
I'd really like us to end the week above $580 in order to have this either Double or Triple bottom friends!
I could see a flash crash down to fill the price GAP at $574.81 as well.
Either way from what I'm seeing on the TVC:VIX , Economic numbers, and the charts I believe we are getting close to a bottom friends.
Consolidate down to only the best names until we receive that confirmation. They did a fake out today and another FED putting FUD into the market didn't help with the GDP projection.

We already bottomed, you just don't know it yet! NASDAQ:QQQ
We already bottomed, you just don't know it yet!
Daily Chart analysis:
A look back at 2024 shows us that every time we have come down to the Green support line on the Wr% we've bounced hard all the way back up to the red barrier.
It coincides with every time we've went below the 9ema that this occurs then we rocket back up. This time could be different but what I'm seeing on the weekly chart as well it doesn't look like it to me as we've already rebound back above the 9ema to this point.
I'm just a nerd who loves all things stock market, I'm no oracle but from my TA and my GUT we should bounce hard heading into the new year and back up to ATH's in January friends!
