Trend: EMA 20 / 50 / 200

Bullish, high confidence Week of October 9, 2026

BULLISH — weekly close is above EMA20, EMA50, and EMA200, with a bullish 20 > 50 > 200 stack; confidence high.

  • – Price vs EMA20: the latest weekly close is 88.05, which is above EMA20 at 85.54 by 2.94%.
  • – Price vs EMA50: the latest weekly close is 88.05, which is above EMA50 at 80.62 by 9.22%.
  • – Price vs EMA200: the latest weekly close is 88.05, which is above EMA200 at 69.96 by 25.85%.
  • – EMA stack: bullish. The ordering is 20 > 50 > 200, which describes trend, not entry timing.
  • – Golden/death cross: nothing was found. The last EMA50/EMA200 cross is reported as none within the computable window.

What would change this read

  • – A weekly close below "85.54" would put price back below EMA20.
  • – A weekly close below "80.62" would put price back below EMA50.
  • – If a future computation reports an EMA50/EMA200 cross, that would change the current "none within the computable window" status.

Momentum: MACD (12, 26, 9)

Bearish, high confidence Week of October 9, 2026

BEARISH — weekly MACD 2.62 is below signal 2.91, with a bearish crossover on 2026-09-28, 2 bars ago; confidence: high.

MACD vs signal line

  • – MACD: 2.62
  • – Signal: 2.91
  • – Relationship: MACD is below the signal line, which is a bearish posture.
  • – Last signal-line crossover: bearish on 2026-09-28, 2 bars ago.

Histogram

  • – Histogram: -0.29
  • – Sign: negative.
  • – Momentum: decelerating, because the 4-bar change is -0.3244.

Zero line

  • – MACD is above zero.
  • – Last zero-line cross: bullish on 2025-11-10, 48 bars ago.
  • – This is separate from the signal-line crossover: the signal-line cross is a shorter-horizon timing signal, while the zero-line cross reflects position relative to the MACD zero axis over a longer horizon.

Divergence checks

  • – Bearish divergence check: none found.
  • – Last two price pivots: 2026-06-29 close 84.14 / macd 2.3714 -> 2026-08-17 close 91.1 / macd 3.3559.
  • – Bullish divergence check: none found.
  • – Last two price pivots: 2026-08-31 close 88.07 / macd 3.4402 -> 2026-09-28 close 85.65 / macd 2.8135.

What would change this read

  • – A weekly MACD move back above the signal line from the current 2.6168 vs 2.9064 relationship.
  • – The histogram turning positive from -0.2896.
  • – A weekly MACD move back below zero from its current above-zero position.

Strength: RSI (14)

Neutral, high confidence Week of October 9, 2026

NEUTRAL — weekly RSI(14) is 60.10, which is neutral and has not reached overbought or oversold; confidence: high.

  • – Current RSI and state: The current weekly RSI(14) is 60.10, so it is neutral, not overbought and not oversold.
  • – Direction over the last four weeks: RSI 4 bars ago was 62.85, and the direction is falling.
  • – Most recent 70/30 band event: RSI fell back below 70 on 2026-08-24, 7 bars ago.
  • – Divergence checks: Nothing was found on the bearish divergence check; 2026-06-29 close 84.14 / rsi 64.2 to 2026-08-17 close 91.1 / rsi 71.03 did not register as bearish divergence. Nothing was found on the bullish divergence check; 2026-08-31 close 88.07 / rsi 62.61 to 2026-09-28 close 85.65 / rsi 55.22 did not register as bullish divergence.

What would change this read

  • – A move to RSI 70 or higher would change the state to overbought.
  • – A move to RSI 30 or lower would change the state to oversold.
  • – A break back above the prior reading of 62.85 would reverse the current falling weekly RSI direction.

Volatility: ATR (14)

Volatility contracting, high confidence Week of October 9, 2026

CONTRACTING — ATR(14) is 3.05, which is 3.46% of price, and it is below 3.6 from 8 bars ago; confidence: high.

  • – ATR value and meaning: The weekly ATR(14) is 3.05, equal to 3.46% of the latest weekly close of 88.05. That means KO’s typical weekly range is about 3.05 points, or 3.46% of price.
  • – Volatility versus 8 weeks ago: Volatility is contracting. ATR fell from 3.6 eight bars ago to 3.05 now.
  • – What the ATR bands imply: The 1x ATR band from the close is 85 to 91.1, which defines a normal weekly movement range around the latest close. The 2x ATR band from the close is 81.95 to 94.15, which describes a wider expected weekly range. These bands describe expected weekly range, not price prediction.

What would change this read

  • – A move back above the prior ATR reading of 3.6.
  • – A change from the current 3.05 ATR reading to a higher weekly ATR value.
  • – A weekly range that moves beyond the 1x ATR band edges of 85 or 91.1, or beyond the 2x ATR band edges of 81.95 or 94.15.

52-week range

Bullish, high confidence Week of October 9, 2026

BULLISH — KO is at 82.4% of its 52-week range, much closer to the high than the low; confidence: high.

  • – Latest weekly close is 30.89% above the 52-week low.

What the range position says

  • – At 82.4% of the 52-week range, KO is in the upper part of its longer weekly cycle, closer to the high than the low.
  • – The midpoint of the 52-week range is 79.88, and the latest weekly close of 88.05 is above that level, reinforcing a range position that favors the upper half of the yearly band.

What would change this read

  • – A move to the 52-week high at 92.49 would place the stock at the top of the range.
  • – A decline toward the 52-week low at 67.27 would shift the stock much lower in the weekly range.
  • – A drop back to the midpoint of the 52-week range at 79.88 would move the stock from the upper portion toward the center of the range.
