Why the Next Session Matters After the KOSPI Drop
Both markets fell together.
KOSPI was down 3.73% and KOSDAQ down 3.33%.
It is time to check for macro shocks.
The strength of the next session's rebound will be the turning point for trend judgment.
The bottom three themes averaged -10.21%.
Selling concentrated in the weak themes.
A short-term rebound from oversold levels is possible, but calling a trend reversal is premature.
Do not make trading decisions from a single session. Judge with trends over five or more sessions combined with macro changes.
