KODK -- The Tape Favors Extension -- but Respect the RSI
KODK surges 20% to a 52-week high on 6.6x average volume, clearing $10 for the first time since 2021. Bullish above the 20-week EMA, but RSI at 82 demands discipline.

Technical Overview
KODK sits 42% above its 20-week EMA of $7.93, the widest premium since the 2021 meme-stock episode. The weekly structure is unambiguously bullish: price closed at $11.25, well above the rising 20-week EMA, with the 10-day EMA at $9.15 confirming on the daily timeframe. Wednesday's 20% surge on 6.6x average volume punched through the $10 resistance level that had capped the stock for nearly five years.
The signal type here is continuation -- KODK crossed above the 10-day EMA on March 25 near $8.20, and the weekly bias has been long since the stock cleared the 20-week EMA in mid-January. What makes this interesting is the velocity: the $6.64 swing low on March 6 to $11.25 in under a month is a 69% move, and the April 2 bar alone printed a $2.80 range on the highest volume since March 2021.
