### Kaufman's Adaptive Moving Average (KAMA) <a href="#kaufman_s_adaptive_moving_average_kama" id="kaufman_s_adaptive_moving_average_kama"></a>

Developed by Perry Kaufman, Kaufman's Adaptive Moving Average (KAMA) is a moving average designed to account for market noise or volatility. This trend-following indicator can identify the overall trend, time turning points, and filter price movements. See our ChartSchool article on [KAMA](/table-of-contents/technical-indicators-and-overlays/technical-overlays/kaufmans-adaptive-moving-average-kama.md).

### Keltner Channels <a href="#keltner_channels" id="keltner_channels"></a>

Similar to Bollinger Bands, Keltner Channels form volatility-based bands above and below an exponential moving average of price. Channel direction and price breakouts above or below the channels can be used to identify trend reversals. See our ChartSchool article on [Keltner Channels](/table-of-contents/technical-indicators-and-overlays/technical-overlays/keltner-channels.md).

### Key Reversal Day <a href="#key_reversal_day" id="key_reversal_day"></a>

A one-day chart pattern where prices sharply reverse during a trend. In an uptrend, prices open to new highs and then close below the previous day's closing price. In a downtrend, prices open lower and then close higher. The wider the price range on the key reversal day and the heavier the volume, the greater the odds that a reversal is taking place.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://chartschool.stockcharts.com/table-of-contents/glossary/glossary-k.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
