What to watch next session
- VIX 20.2, indicating risk-off territory and higher volatility, so new entries should favor scaling in or watching.
- Both markets sold off sharply (KOSPI -5.81%, KOSDAQ -4.10%), which calls for checking macro shock implications; the strength of any next-session rebound will help determine trend direction.
- Bottom 3 average -4.89%, showing concentrated selling in weak themes. Short-term bounce is possible, but do not assume trend reversal from a single session.
Do not make trading decisions based on a single day. Use trends of 5 trading days or more together with macro developments for assessment.
