Rising Wedge · playing out now

J is breaking out above a rising wedge — these usually break lower, so a push higher instead is a notably bullish turn.

On this chart, setups like it have followed through about 49% of the time.

As long as price stays above $128.0, the setup is intact — a daily close back below there is the cue to step away.

A natural first target sits near $146.7 — but moves like this often run further. The simple way to follow the rest is to stay with the 10-day average, and only step aside when a day closes below it.

J Support and Resistance Levels

Price found a floor near $114.45 about 2 months ago and has been climbing since. On the weekly chart, the next ceiling overhead sits near $144.47 — still about 1.2% away.

  • Traders commonly watch $144.47 as a target (its 61.8% extension) — think of it as a sensible next stop, not a guarantee.
  • That ceiling is the first place the climb might pause — worth watching how price behaves as it gets there.
  • There's nothing to act on here — the spot to watch was the $114.45 floor about 2 months ago, when price bounced there, but price has already pulled higher. What's left is the climb playing out, not a fresh starting point.

Nearest auto-detected support sits near $112.72, resistance near $147.35. These are chart/swing-derived levels, not formula pivots.
