What the indicators say
KT&G (ktcs) closed at 1,995 won, below its 5-day (2,022), 20-day (2,108.5), 60-day (2,167.8), 120-day (2,270.9) and 200-day (2,443.5) moving averages, and the stock sits under the Ichimoku cloud. Momentum readings are weak across timeframes: RSI(14) is 28.4, stochastic %K is 14.3, MACD (-41.3) remains below its signal line (-31.2), and the ADX of 37.4 with the minus DI (34) well above the plus DI (7.8) points to a strong downward trend. Both short-term and medium-term gauges read bearish, and on-balance volume is trending down while volume is 1.5 times its 20-day average. The stock trades within the Bollinger Band (middle 2,108.5, lower 1,976.7, upper 2,240.3), with a resistance level of 2,245 and no support level identified in the data.
