A 2008 Nightmare Revisited? South Korea’s Stock Market Plunges 14.5% This Week, Its Worst Weekly Drop Since the Lehman Crisis!
The latest data shows the KOSPI rebounded 2.05% today to 5,668 points, but this was merely a technical bounce after the plunge—the index fell 14.5% over the week, its biggest weekly decline since October 2008.
I believe the core driver of this sell-off is global capital systematically “de-risking,” with South Korea, as the most sensitive barometer of the AI hardware supply chain, bearing the brunt first. Samsung and SK Hynix together account for more than half of the K

What if buying more Bitcoin actually makes a Bitcoin treasury company less attractive to its shareholders?
Sounds contradictory, but K33 Research’s latest analysis of Strategy raises exactly this problem.
@Strategy holds 848,250 BTC.
But K33 modeled an alternative capital structure where Strategy would hold 843,303 BTC without aggressively expanding its STRC preferred-stock program.
That’s a difference of just 4,947 BTC.
Yet STRC raised approximately $7.5B in H1 2026 and helped finance nearly 100,000 BTC.
So where did the advantage disappear?

Touched 82550 again; 4h volume is going nowhere, and the bulls have quietly lost three points in a week😏When the crowd was in, price couldn't break higher; now that fewer people are around, they're still stubbornly pushing. This is clearly a bull trap. If it can't break through, it's heading down to 80000; pushing higher again is just handing money to the bears. Get out fast.

Sometimes, waiting for the weekly candle to close is the smartest decision you can make.
Patience brings confirmation. Reacting too early can lead to wrong assumptions.
Let the weekly chart confirm the move before making a decision.
Less noise. More clarity.

Everyone is calling DOT a range play, but the 1h setup says otherwise.

$DOT /USDT - SHORT

Trade Plan:
Entry: 1.136 – 1.148
SL: 1.196
TP1: 1.101
TP2: 1.074
TP3: 1.033

Why this setup?
Why now? The 1h price is sitting at 1.142 inside a tight 1h ATR of 0.022633, which means the next move is likely explosive, not gradual. The 15m RSI is at 45.37, showing bearish momentum without being oversold, so the down leg still has room to run. The daily trend is range, which often precedes a sharp breakout to the downside when a catalyst hits. The entry zone between 1.136 and 1.148 offers a defined risk

Direction: Short
Entry range: 965 - 975
Targets: First target 940, second target 920
Entry rationale: Weak chart: The 1-hour candlesticks are in a clear downtrend channel, with heavy resistance from moving averages overhead; the overall trend is bearish.
Capital outflows: Based on fund flow data, despite a small inflow over the short term, there are massive net outflows overall, and the fund flow score is negative, indicating that major players are primarily retreating over the
