Bottom line
KMB Technical Analysis Summary
KMB shows a mixed-to-improving technical picture. On the daily chart, price trades above all key SMAs (20, 50, 200) with the SMA20 above the SMA200, indicating short-term bullish structure. However, the daily MACD histogram has turned slightly negative, suggesting near-term momentum is fading. The weekly chart provides a more constructive view: a bullish MACD crossover has occurred with a positive rising histogram, while RSI at 63.4 points to improving medium-term momentum without overbought conditions. Price on the weekly remains below the SMA200 at 116.10, which acts as a key resistance. The primary support is the 20-day low at 100.41, with deeper support at the 60-day low of 92.06. Resistance sits at the 20-day and 60-day high of 116.82. A sustained move above 116.82 would signal a shift toward a more bullish outlook.

Daily (July 13, 2026)
- Trend
- Mixed-to-bullish. Price at 110.18 is above SMA20 (107.97), SMA50 (101.31), and SMA200 (102.20). SMA20 is above SMA200, indicating near-term strength. However, SMA50 remains below SMA200, suggesting the medium-term alignment has not fully turned bullish. Price is in the upper half of its 20-day range.
- Momentum
- Neutral-to-bearish. RSI14 at 57.49 is in neutral territory, neither overbought nor oversold. MACD at 3.29 is below the signal line at 3.39 with a slightly negative histogram of -0.10, indicating a loss of short-term upward momentum. The negative MACD histogram warrants attention.
- Volatility
- Moderate. ATR14 at 2.97 (2.70% of price) suggests average daily movement of about 2.7%. Bollinger Bands (99.15 to 116.80) are moderately wide with price near the middle band, reflecting neutral positioning after recent movements.
- Volume
- Above average. Latest volume of 7,137,400 is 141.1% of the 20-period average (5,058,105), indicating increased participation during the recent pullback.
Assessment
The daily chart presents a mixed picture. Price remains above all major SMAs, which is structurally positive, but the MACD has rolled over with a negative histogram, suggesting near-term profit-taking or consolidation. RSI in neutral territory provides no strong directional signal. The above-average volume during the latest down day (-1.98%) suggests selling pressure. Key support at 100.41 (20-day low) must hold to maintain the short-term uptrend. Resistance is at 116.82 (20-day high).
Weekly (July 6, 2026 week)
- Trend
- Improving. Price at 112.41 is above SMA20 (100.53) and SMA50 (106.28), indicating a recovery from lower levels. However, price remains below SMA200 (116.10), which serves as a major resistance level. The SMA20 crossed above the SMA50, a bullish signal, but both remain below the declining SMA200.
- Momentum
- Bullish. RSI14 at 63.41 is in bullish territory below the 70 overbought threshold. MACD at 1.15 crossed above the signal line at -1.30 with a positive rising histogram of 2.45, confirming a bullish MACD crossover and accelerating upside momentum on the weekly scale.
- Volatility
- Moderate. ATR14 at 5.49 (4.89% of price) reflects normal weekly ranges. Bollinger Bands (88.67 to 112.40) show price at the upper band, indicating strong weekly momentum.
- Volume
- Below average. Weekly volume of 18,582,300 is 80.6% of the 20-week average (23,069,445), slightly below normal participation levels.
Assessment
The weekly chart is more constructive than the daily. The bullish MACD crossover with a rising histogram signals improving medium-term momentum. RSI at 63.41 provides room for further upside. The key challenge is the SMA200 at 116.10, which has acted as resistance. A weekly close above 116.10 would be a significant bullish development. The 52-week position at 53.27% reflects recovery from the lows but still below the year's midpoint.
