PickStock checkpoints

• Foreign and institutional flows: Verify whether KOSDAQ strength is driven by foreign buying or retail investors. (Check: foreign/institution net buy volumes and intraday patterns)
• Sector and theme distribution: Confirm whether KOSDAQ gains come from semiconductor and AI names or from traditional sectors such as Energy, Materials, and Staples. (Check: market-cap weighted sector returns)
• US momentum transmission: Monitor whether the US IT and semiconductor surge is spilling over into domestic semiconductor and AI stocks. Assess short-term correlation and sector dispersion.
• Crypto-related flows: Observe the impact of BlackRock ETF inflows on domestic crypto-related stocks or ETFs.
• Volatility indicators: The persistence of an intraday rally depends on volatility expansion. Check intraday volatility and trading volume for liquidity durability.
