Kemper Corporation Stock Forecast
Kemper Corporation stock downgraded from Hold/Accumulate to Sell Candidate after Monday trading session.
(Updated on Apr 22, 2024)
The Kemper Corporation stock price gained 0.638% on the last trading day (Monday, 22nd Apr 2024), rising from $58.01 to $58.38. It has now gained 5 days in a row. It will be exciting to see whether it manages to continue gaining or take a minor break for the next few days. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 1.84% from a day low at $57.57 to a day high of $58.63. The price has risen in 7 of the last 10 days and is up by 1.44% over the past 2 weeks. Volume fell on the last day by -229 thousand shares and in total, 219 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $12.76 million. You should take into consideration that falling volume on higher prices causes divergence and may be an early warning about possible changes over the next couple of days.
The stock is moving within a wide and horizontal trend and further movements within this trend can be expected. Given the current horizontal trend, you can expect Kemper Corporation stock with a 90% probability to be traded between $53.66 and $62.62 at the end of this 3-month period. A break of a horizontal trend is often followed by a large increase in the volume, and stocks seldom manage to go directly from the bottom of a trend up to the top. Stocks turning up in the middle of a horizontal trend are therefore considered to be potential runners.

KMPR Signals & Forecast
There are mixed signals in the stock today. The Kemper Corporation stock holds a buy signal from the short-term Moving Average; at the same time, however, the long-term average holds a general sell signal. Since the longterm average is above the short-term average there is a general sell signal in the stock giving a more negative forecast for the stock. On further gains, the stock will meet resistance from the long-term Moving Average at $58.49. On a fall, the stock will find some support from the short-term average at $56.70. A break-up through the long-term average will give another buy signal, while a fall below the short-term average will add another sell signal and strengthen the general signal. Furthermore, there is currently a sell signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Monday, April 15, 2024, and so far it has risen 6.71%. Further rise is indicated until a new top pivot has been found. Volume fell during the last trading day despite gaining prices. This causes a divergence between volume and price and it may be an early warning. The stock should be watched closely.
Support, Risk & Stop-loss for Kemper Corporation stock
Kemper Corporation finds support from accumulated volume at $57.67 and this level may hold a buying opportunity as an upwards reaction can be expected when the support is being tested.

Trading Expectations (KMPR) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Tuesday 23rd
For the upcoming trading day on Tuesday, 23rd we expect Kemper Corporation to open at $58.19, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $56.75 and $60.01, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$1.63 (+/-2.79%) up or down from last closing price. If Kemper Corporation takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 5.58% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.
Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $58.74 (0.62%) than the support at $57.67 (1.22%), our systems don't find the trading risk/reward intra-day attractive and any bets should be held until the stock is closer to the support level.
Is Kemper Corporation stock A Buy?
Kemper Corporation holds several negative signals and we believe that it will still perform weakly in the next couple of days or weeks. We, therefore, hold a negative evaluation of this stock. Due to some small weaknesses in the technical picture we have downgraded our analysis conclusion for this stock since the last evaluation from a Hold/Accumulate to a Sell candidate.
