The Core Logic Behind the Korean Stock Market Plunge—From the World’s Strongest to the World’s Weakest

Guys, on October 12, the KOSPI index fell 3.43% to 6398.83 points, after plunging as much as 3.89% intraday to 6368.49 points, a nearly two-month low since August 19. Samsung Electronics fell nearly 4%, while SK Hynix dropped more than 4%. The KOSDAQ index suffered an even steeper 4.83% decline.

Just a few months ago, Korean stocks were the best-performing major equity index globally. In the first half of the year, the KOSPI attracted global capital with the strongest performance among ma

BTC is down a little over 2%, while the two or three coins you’re holding are down more than 5%—it’s not that you picked the wrong coins; the money simply never came in during this wave.
I checked the numbers: from the peak of that late-September rally, BTC is down 6%, ETH 12%, and SOL 16%—the market conditions were the same, yet altcoins fell more than twice as much as BTC.
I took a look at the trading volume: on the days BTC fell, it was $1.4 billion, but on the day it bounced, only $700 million remained—half as many buyers stepped in. ETH’s $2,400 level is still holding; today’s low was

Community considers switching to BTC ETFs after the Ledger incident
From CEXs and hot wallets to cold wallets, a series of security incidents has prompted many to ask: Is self-custody of BTC really safer?
Some have begun considering BlackRock’s and Fidelity’s Bitcoin ETFs...
• How it works: Buyers hold fund shares, while the BTC is managed by a custodian. There is no need to secure the wallet keys themselves.
• Risks: Trust is now placed in the fund, the securities firm, and the custodian. If an incident occurs, investors may still suffer losses.
• Example: IBIT’s BTC is held in custody by Coi

What you can hold on to is truly yours!!
During a plunge, you stare at the candlestick chart, your palms sweating. The group chat is filled with cries of despair, and you ask yourself: Should I cut my losses? But if someone asked you—have you read the Bitcoin white paper? Have you used the Ethereum ecosystem? What problem doe

Those two or three altcoins you still haven’t had the heart to sell are being swept out these past two days—the money is pulling out of them first, and much more aggressively than from BTC.
The one on my list has only one thing to verify these past two weeks: whether money has actually come in. I checked SOL: those who chased in on the day it surged to 113 saw today’s low hit 101.69; on the altcoin side, the declines are the most brutal.
The ETH-to-BTC ratio has fallen back below 0.03; the last time was in mid-August—the money is pulling out of altcoins, and hasn’t turned around yet.

Why this setup?
Why now? The daily trend is range, which means a directional move is overdue and the 1h ATR of 18.76 shows enough volatility to fuel a run. The 15m RSI sits at 12.78, signaling deep oversold conditions that often precede sharp reversals. Entry is anchored at 2428.22 with a tight zone between 2423.53 and 2432.91, giving a precise risk-defined setup. TP1 at 2472.12 offers the first target, while TP2

ETH also pulled back yesterday after reaching the 2572 resistance level we provided; current market profit has already reached 150+ points. The 4-hour rebound is underwater, so short positions can choose to take profit and exit.$ETH

The most crowded trades are often the most dangerous, while the most fearful moments are often the most valuable. I am currently watching for entry opportunities in Korean stock ETFs.
First, let’s look at a set of key data points: Foreign ownership of Samsung Electronics has fallen to 46.37%, the lowest since July 2009 and a roughly 17-year low; foreign ownership of SK hynix has fallen below 50% for the first time since 2023. Foreign investors have made a net withdrawal of $131 billion from Korean stocks this year, while trading volume in the Korean stock market has plunged 70% from its late-M

#晒出我的持仓收益 Firmly long on dips ahead of the October 14 CPI trade!

On October 13, Jaret Seiberg, managing director of investment bank TD Cowen’s Washington Research Group, said in a report published Monday that the proposed rulemaking notice issued by the CFTC last week is a positive step for crypto platforms. However, the agency may not complete the rulemaking until early 2028, and as the 2028 election approaches, there is a risk that the rules may ultimately not be implemented. Seiberg noted that “time is running out” and expects the CFTC to issue a proposal no earlier than the end of the first quarter or the beginning of the second quarter of 2027, with fi

$TAO ’s drop to the present has created the most common illusion: that a sharp decline necessarily means it is already cheap.
This time, let’s ignore the gainers and losers list and look only at the position. The current price is 265.6, about 0.23% from the 1-hour support at 265 and 13.70% from the resistance at 302.
My criteria are simple: only a breakout above 302 with continuation counts as follow-through to the upside; a break below 265 invalidates the original assessment. The 1-hour and 4-hour trends are both weak, with RSI at 11 and 34, respectively.
The issue now is not directional slog
