What the indicators say
Hankuk Carbon closed at 15,790 won, below its 5-day average of 15,958 won, 20-day average of 18,212.5 won, 60-day average of 21,129.8 won, 120-day average of 26,265.8 won and 200-day average of 32,183.7 won, a configuration that points to a sustained downtrend across short and medium horizons. Momentum is weak: RSI(14) is 25, the stochastic %K is 3.4 and the MACD line sits below its signal line, with a new 52-week low confirmed by MACD on 2026-10-13, the first in over 14 months. The ADX of 33.9 with the -DI at 39 versus the +DI at 11 indicates strong directional pressure to the downside, and the price trades below the Ichimoku cloud, while volume at 3.3 times its 20-day average and a rising OBV show active participation. The resistance level usually watched is 21,100 won, and no support level is currently identified in the data.
