Bottom line
KMB Technical Analysis Summary
KMB pulled back to 107.56 on August 3, 2026, down 1.60% on volume about double its 20-day average. The stock closed below the 20-day moving average at 109.81 but held above the 50-day at 105.28 and the 200-day at 101.61. Daily momentum has softened, with RSI at 47.48 and a negative MACD histogram of -0.43. The weekly chart is more constructive: price at 109.31 sits above the 20-week and 50-week averages, with the MACD at 1.84 above its signal and a positive histogram of 1.69. The stock trades at 41.1% of its 52-week range. Key support is at 105.99 (20-day low) with deeper support at 92.06 (60-day low), while resistance stands at 116.82 (20-day and 60-day high). A reclaim of the 20-day average would stabilize the near-term picture, while a break below 105.99 would open a path toward the 60-day low.

Daily (August 3, 2026)
- Trend
- Mixed. Price at 107.56 closed below SMA20 (109.81) after a 1.60% decline on August 3, but remains above SMA50 (105.28) and SMA200 (101.61). The short-term uptrend from the June lows has paused, while the 60-day return of +9.93% keeps the medium-term recovery intact.
- Momentum
- Softening. RSI14 at 47.48 is below the 50 midline. MACD at 1.06 is below the signal line at 1.48 with a negative histogram of -0.43, indicating fading upside momentum on the daily timeframe.
- Volatility
- Moderate. ATR14 at 3.16 (2.94% of price) reflects an average daily range of about 2.9%. Bollinger Bands run from 105.39 to 114.22, with the close near the lower band after the pullback.
- Volume
- Well above average. Latest volume of 7,486,800 is about 202% of the 20-day average (3,698,140), indicating heavy participation in the August 3 decline.
Assessment
The daily chart shows a short-term pullback after a strong run into mid-July. Price lost the 20-day moving average on elevated volume, and the MACD histogram has turned negative, pointing to near-term distribution. The 50-day average at 105.28 is the immediate support. A sustained close back above 109.81 would restore the short-term uptrend, while a break below the 20-day low at 105.99 would shift the near-term bias bearish, with the 60-day low at 92.06 as the next downside reference.
Weekly (July 27, 2026 week)
- Trend
- Mixed with a constructive medium-term bias. Price at 109.31 is above SMA20 (101.44) and SMA50 (105.21), but remains below SMA200 (116.21), which has acted as overhead resistance.
- Momentum
- Bullish. RSI14 at 57.63 is in positive territory below the 70 overbought threshold. MACD at 1.84 is above the signal line at 0.15 with a positive rising histogram of 1.69, confirming improving medium-term momentum.
- Volatility
- Moderate. ATR14 at 5.72 (5.23% of price) reflects normal weekly ranges.
- Volume
- Below average. Weekly volume of 17,056,500 is about 78% of the 20-week average (21,979,230), showing the recent advance has not been confirmed by strong participation.
Assessment
The weekly chart remains constructive. Price holds above the 20-week and 50-week averages with a positive, rising MACD histogram, and RSI at 57.63 leaves room before overbought. Note that the weekly series ends with the week of July 27, so its close of 109.31 predates the August 3 daily pullback. The main barrier is the 200-week average at 116.21, which aligns with the daily 20-period high at 116.82. A weekly close above that level would mark a meaningful trend improvement.
