What to Confirm Next Session
- VIX 21.8, risk-off territory. With volatility rising, staged entries or waiting on the sidelines come first.
- Both markets fell together (KOSPI -3.59%, KOSDAQ -4.08%), so macro shock checks are needed. The strength of next session's rebound is the thing to watch.
- TOP 3 themes averaged +3.39%, and money direction is clear. Chasing buys is better done in stages.
- BOTTOM 3 themes averaged -7.79%, and selling concentrated in weak themes. A short-term rebound from oversold levels is possible, but calling it a trend reversal is premature.
Single-day data is not enough for trading decisions. Look at trends over five or more sessions alongside macro changes.
