KO's current rel volume reading and what that signal has historically been followed by.
This page covers The Coca-Cola Company (KO) — its current rel volume reading and the measured historical record of what KO rel volume extremes were followed by.
How to read this. These figures are measured only on instruments currently in our coverage — a set of companies that survived. Signals that appear to have 'worked' on the downside are conditioned on these names having recovered; a company that fell and never came back would not be here to measure. Read every number below as a property of this surviving sample, not a universal rule, and never as advice.
All figures are ‘excess’ returns — measured relative to each instrument’s own historical drift, not relative to the market. This is not alpha and not a market-beating claim; it isolates the signal from the instrument’s background trend. Measured from the first day each signal appeared (not its most extreme point), so it reflects what was knowable in real time.
rel volume showed no measurable forward signal. Across the full sample, episodes on this measure were followed by returns statistically indistinguishable from each instrument’s own drift — we report this as a null result rather than hide it.
When KO was overbought / at a high extreme
Across 380 past episodes where KO was overbought on this signal, the 379 with a complete 20-session forward window lagged KO’s own trailing drift by 0.58 percentage points on average (46% of those 379 beat drift).
| horizon | excess vs own drift | beat-drift rate | episodes with complete horizon |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 session | -0.21% | 40% | 380 |
| 5 sessions | -0.29% | 45% | 380 |
| 20 sessions | -0.58% | 46% | 379 |
When KO was oversold / at a low extreme
Across 214 past episodes where KO was oversold on this signal, the close 20 sessions later lagged KO’s own trailing drift by 0.15 percentage points on average (49% of episodes beat drift).
| horizon | excess vs own drift | beat-drift rate | episodes with complete horizon |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 session | -0.08% | 32% | 214 |
| 5 sessions | -0.09% | 46% | 214 |
| 20 sessions | -0.15% | 49% | 214 |
