🚨 **Circuit Breaker Triggered on Korea Exchange — KOSPI Plunges 8.3%**



South Korea's benchmark KOSPI crashed over 8% today, tripping circuit breakers for the first time in three months. Trading was halted for 20 minutes right after the market opened, followed by a second "sidecar" curb.

📊 Key numbers:
- KOSPI closed at 7,484.41 (−8.3%), biggest daily drop since March 4
- Samsung Electronics −10.2%
- SK Hynix −7.7%

🔥 What's driving the crash:
1️⃣ Strong US jobs data → Fed rate hike expectations surged
2️⃣ Tech-heavy sell-off — the same AI rally that powered gains is now unwinding
3️⃣ Iran-Israel conflict escalation spooking global markets, oil prices jumping

📉 BTC feeling the heat — dropped from ~$82K to ~$63.5K over recent sessions, reflecting the global risk-off sentiment.

⚠️ No US market circuit breakers triggered yet (NYSE thresholds: 7% / 13% / 20%). But the ripple effects are already hitting crypto.

Stay alert. Risk management matters. 🛡️
