Is KDP near its 200-week EMA?

Yes. KDP is 5.5% above its 200-week EMA ($34.63 against $32.81, 0.9 weekly ATRs above) at the scan of 21 Oct 2026. Long-term downtrend structure: the 50-week EMA is below the 200-week EMA, so the weekly structure is bearish and the 200-week zone does not apply. It has not touched its 200-week EMA since the line could first be measured in Aug 2020 (324 weeks). The 50-week EMA is $30.69 (price +12.8% from it) and the weekly DeMarker is 0.67, neutral.

What the numbers say

The 200-week EMA itself is down 11.0% over two years, a falling long-term line. Weekly closes have been above the line on 2% of the 324 weeks measured, so price has spent long stretches under it. The weekly DeMarker has risen from 0.44 four weeks ago to 0.67.

Every touch of the 200-week EMA since Aug 2020

From 324 weeks of weekly bars. A touch is a week whose low reached the 200-week EMA after 13 weeks above it. Each row shows how deep the lows went in the 13 weeks after, whether a weekly close fell below the line within four weeks, and where price closed 13 and 52 weeks later, against the EMA at the touch.

No fresh touch of the 200-week EMA since 10 Aug 2020. A touch counts when a weekly low reaches the line after 13 weeks whose lows all stayed above it.

How to read the 200-week zone

The Desk's Portfolio Builder reads three things together: the 50-week EMA above the 200-week, the 200-week EMA rising at least 8% over two years, and price within one weekly ATR of the 200-week line. KDP does not meet all three right now: the 50-week EMA is below the 200-week EMA, so the weekly structure is bearish and the 200-week zone does not apply. The weekly DeMarker adds the momentum read: at 0.67 it is neutral now. This is a long-term, no-leverage way of reading a chart, not a signal to act on.
