This chart in words

The chart plots daily Reddit mentions of KAI over the 30 days to 20 October 2026: 8 in total, busiest on 21 September with 2, and 1 on the last day counted. The line is the daily close over the same window: $265.84 on 21 September, $264 on 19 October. Of those days, 21 were trading sessions and the other 9 are hatched on the chart. On 8 of them no session took place, and the last close before it is carried forward rather than plotted; on 1 of them we hold no close at all, which is a gap in our own record rather than a closure we can prove.
