Demark 9 ?
Demark 9 indicators are designed to look for exhaustion in the selling or buying trend which can often be predictive of a reversal point. This indicator is triggered when there are 9 consecutive days where the closing price is higher/lower than the closing price 4 days ago. Like all indicators, it is best used in combinations with other factors.

1y S-Momentum ?
Smooth Momentum is our proprietary technical indicator that looks for momentum with the greatest consistency and steady velocity. We have penalized dramatic swings and fluctuations. If the momentum is too high and an asset spikes upward, this is often unreliable and collapses back down. But the smooth momentum provides the highest probability of continuing into the near future with the same directional rate of change. Several complex factors are weighted by neural nets to maximize probabilistic accuracy. It works the same with positive or negative directions.

We also weight each analyst's opinion based on their historic accuracy. We built in a time decay function to ensure that the rating reflects the current sentiment levels. Typical range (-500 to +500)

Daily Technical Analysis of Kadant Inc.

Kadant saw some selling pressure today and moved down -3.99% It looks like KAI may be interacting with an upward sloping support line. These can create nice entry points since it can have both momentum and support. In addition to being near an angled support line KAI is near a weak support line. We'll see if it bounces off or heads lower. KAI hasn't had very clear momentum over the last 3 months in either direction. Which makes it a little harder to predict. But hasn't shown the selling pressure to make me feel certain it will break through the line.

If the price bounces off of the support and moves up it'll probably head up to the $354.19 level, at which point it may hit some selling pressure. If it punches through this support level, it can easily push down to $288.3 where it may meet further support, hopefully it can consolidate around that point.
