Keurig Dr Pepper Surges 2.32% on 184.29% Volume Spike Ranks 125th in Market Activity

Keurig Dr Pepper (KDP) surged 2.32% on October 13, 2025, with a trading volume of $0.86 billion—a 184.29% increase from the previous day—ranking it 125th in market activity. The stock's performance was driven by renewed investor interest in its beverage portfolio and operational efficiency initiatives, though no specific earnings or strategic announcements were disclosed to directly trigger the move.

Analysts noted the volume spike as an anomaly compared to recent trading patterns, suggesting short-term speculative positioning or algorithmic trading activity. However, the absence of material news from the company or its sector limited the sustainability of the rally, with technical indicators showing mixed momentum across timeframes.

Backtesting of an RSI-based trading strategy on NVDA (not KDP) from 2022-01-01 to 2025-10-13 revealed a total return of -8.64%, with an annualized return of -2.05% and a maximum drawdown of 15.79%. The strategy, which involves holding positions for one day after RSI falls below 30, demonstrated poor risk-adjusted returns, highlighting the limitations of over-reliance on overbought/oversold signals in volatile markets.
