We recommended Abbott Laboratories (Friday’s close $78.57) on August 26, 2017, ($49.35) and again on September 1, 2018, ($66.85). In our first report we provided targets of $54 and $59 then $70 and $74 in the second report. Abbott reached a high of $74.15 in October 2018 to fulfill all of our targets (A).

Recently, the stock settled in a horizontal trading range mostly between $65 and $74 (dotted lines). The recent rise above ±$75 signalled the resumption of the up-trend (B).

A minor correction may occur toward ±$72, but only a sustained decline below $68-69 would be negative.

Point & Figure measurements provide targets of $84 and $94. Higher targets are visible.
