Bottom line

KR Technical Analysis Summary

KR remains in a bearish trend on the daily timeframe and shows a mixed weekly picture. Price at 58.22 trades below the SMA20 (58.37), SMA50 (60.08), and SMA200 (64.70) on the daily chart, and below the SMA20 (64.15) and SMA50 (65.02) but above the SMA200 (54.59) on the weekly chart. The daily RSI at 48.00 and weekly RSI at 39.82 are both below the 50 neutral level. The daily MACD histogram is positive (0.21), hinting at early momentum improvement, while the weekly MACD histogram remains negative (-0.84). Key resistance is at the SMA50 (60.08) and the 20-day high (61.28), with the SMA200 (64.70) overhead. The 52-week low at 54.15 is the primary support. The stock must reclaim the SMA50 to signal a potential trend reversal; a break below 54.15 would confirm further downside.

Daily (August 3, 2026)

Trend
Bearish. Price at 58.22 trades below the SMA20 (58.37), SMA50 (60.08), and SMA200 (64.70). The SMA20 is below the SMA50, which is below the SMA200, forming a bearish alignment. The SMA200 is trending downward, confirming the long-term downtrend.
Momentum
Bearish. RSI14 at 48.00 is below the 50 neutral level, reflecting bearish momentum. MACD at -0.49 remains below the signal line at -0.70, but the histogram has turned positive at 0.21, hinting at a potential momentum shift. This divergence warrants monitoring for confirmation.
Volatility
Moderate. ATR14 at 1.75 (3.01% of price) indicates average daily movement of about 3.0%. Bollinger Bands (56.08 to 60.67) are moderately wide with price near the middle band, reflecting the current indecision.
Volume
Below average. Latest volume of 6,789,400 is 90.5% of the 20-period average (7,498,220), indicating slightly reduced participation.

Assessment

The daily chart shows a stock under persistent pressure, with price trading below all three key moving averages. The bearish SMA alignment (20 below 50 below 200) confirms the downtrend. The positive MACD histogram and the stabilization above the 20-day low of 54.83 are early signs worth monitoring. The stock needs to reclaim the SMA50 at 60.08 to shift the short-term outlook. Near-term support is at the 20-day low of 54.83, with the 52-week low of 54.15 below it.

Weekly (July 27, 2026 week)

Trend
Mixed. Price at 57.74 trades below the SMA20 (64.15) and SMA50 (65.02), but above the SMA200 (54.59). The SMA20 has crossed below the SMA50, a bearish signal. The SMA200 remains below price and is sloping upward, indicating the longer-term trend is still positive despite recent weakness.
Momentum
Bearish. RSI14 at 39.82 is below the 50 neutral level. MACD at -2.46 is below the signal line at -1.62 with a negative histogram of -0.84, confirming bearish momentum on the weekly timeframe.
Volatility
Elevated. ATR14 at 4.28 (7.42% of price) reflects wide weekly ranges, consistent with a stock experiencing a downtrend with above-average price swings.
Volume
Near average. Weekly volume of 32,071,000 is 96.1% of the 20-week average (33,384,695), indicating participation in line with recent norms.

Assessment

The weekly chart shows a mixed picture. Price at 57.74 is below the SMA20 (64.15) and SMA50 (65.02), with the SMA20 below the SMA50, but price remains above the SMA200 (54.59), which is sloping upward. The RSI at 39.82 is firmly in bearish territory, and the negative MACD histogram confirms persistent downside momentum. A 20-week return of -23.22% highlights the recent decline. A sustained move back above the SMA50 (65.02) would be needed to suggest a trend reversal, while the 52-week low at 54.15 remains the key downside level.
