Bottom line
KEP Technical Analysis Summary
KEP is in a short-term recovery within a larger downtrend. The stock fell sharply from a 52-week high of 23.41 in January to a low of 11.25 in mid-July, then bounced to 12.46. The daily chart shows improving momentum with price back above the SMA20 and SMA50 and a positive MACD histogram, but the bounce has come on below-average volume and price remains well below the SMA200 at 15.82. The weekly chart is still bearish with price below its SMA20 and SMA50 and RSI at 38.60. Immediate resistance is at the 20-day high of 12.57, while immediate support is the recent low at 11.25. A sustained break above 12.57 on stronger volume would improve the recovery case, while a close below 11.25 would likely resume the decline.

Daily (August 6, 2026)
- Trend
- Mixed. Price at 12.46 is above the SMA20 (11.88) and SMA50 (12.30) after the recent bounce, but remains well below the SMA200 (15.82). The moving average alignment is bearish overall with SMA20 below SMA50 below SMA200, while the short-term price action shows recovery from the 52-week low.
- Momentum
- Recovering. RSI14 at 55.35 is back above the midpoint, suggesting improving buying pressure after the July selloff. MACD at -0.02 with signal at -0.14 and a positive histogram of 0.12 shows the MACD line has turned up through its signal line, a short-term bullish signal, although the MACD line is still slightly below zero.
- Volatility
- Moderate. ATR14 at 0.36 (2.92% of price) reflects moderate daily swings. Bollinger Bands (11.14 to 12.61) show price trading near the upper band after the bounce, indicating the recovery has been strong relative to recent ranges but not yet overextended.
- Volume
- Below average. Latest volume of 672,562 is about 57% of the 20-period average (1,171,368). The recent rebound has occurred on lighter-than-average participation, which is a caution flag for the durability of the bounce.
Assessment
The daily chart shows a short-term recovery within a larger downtrend. Price reclaimed the SMA20 and SMA50 and the MACD histogram turned positive, but the move has come on below-average volume and price remains well below the SMA200 at 15.82. The stock sits near the bottom of its 52-week range at roughly 10% of the range position. Near-term resistance is at the 20-day high of 12.57, with the 60-day high at 14.04 above it. A break above 12.57 on stronger volume would strengthen the recovery case, while a close below the 11.25 low would likely resume the broader decline.
Weekly (July 27, 2026 week)
- Trend
- Bearish. Price at 11.95 is below the SMA20 (13.57) and SMA50 (15.39) but above the SMA200 (9.74). The weekly moving average alignment is bearish, consistent with the large drawdown from the January high of 23.41. The SMA200 remains the main long-term support.
- Momentum
- Bearish. RSI14 at 38.60 is in bearish territory, indicating the weekly trend is still weak. MACD at -1.17 with signal at -0.99 and a negative histogram of -0.18 shows downside momentum is ongoing across the medium-term trend.
- Volatility
- Elevated. ATR14 at 1.27 (10.66% of price) reflects wide weekly ranges, consistent with the sharp swings in this ADR during the recent decline. Bollinger Bands (10.66 to 16.49) are wide, showing elevated weekly volatility.
- Volume
- Near average. Weekly volume of 5,193,300 is approximately 109% of the 20-week average (4,785,935), indicating normal participation levels.
Assessment
The weekly chart confirms the bearish medium-term structure. Price remains below the SMA20 and SMA50, RSI is below 40, and the MACD is negative. The 20-week return of -26.33% and the 60-week return of +10.85% reflect the decline from the January 2026 high and the partial retracement of the earlier rally. The stock sits at roughly 6% of its 52-week range. The recent low near 11.25 is the immediate support, with the weekly 60-period low at 10.08 below it. Resistance is at the 20-week high of 16.73 and the 60-week high of 23.41.
