Summary

GFM Investment Research Director Lee Jin-woo reviews the KOSPI crash and rebound, arguing that a roughly 44% drawdown and capitulation-like retail selling support a technical rebound. He walks through chart setups for SK Hynix, shipbuilding, defense, nuclear, electric equipment, robotics, and Hyundai Motor, separating tradeable bounces from resistance and stall risks. He also says foreign investors have turned buyers and that retail investors should follow foreign buying rather than selling into it.

  • KOSPI fell about 44% from its high; past cycles suggest this is enough for a rebound, with targets around 6,835, 7,300, and 7,800.
  • SK Hynix is expected to rebound technically, with 1,900,000 won as key resistance.
  • Hanwha Ocean and LS Electric are bouncing from major Fibonacci and moving-average supports.
  • Hanwha Aerospace rebound is already facing resistance and may stall.
  • Doosan Enerbility is a two-sided setup after a 61.8% retracement bounce but with monthly sell signals.
  • Rainbow Robotics bounced but remains extremely expensive at around 620x forward P/E.
  • Hyundai Motor is highlighted as a cheap robot-optionality name at 9-10x forward P/E.
  • Foreign investors have flipped to net buying; the speaker advises not selling into foreign buying.
Ideas

KOSPI drawdown enough for technical rebound
After pressing the market lower through July, foreign investors have flipped to buying, including multi-trillion-won net buying days and three straight days of buying. The speaker reads Temasek's public Samsung and SK Hynix comments, Bloomberg's 'uninvestable' column, and Morgan Stanley's 'time to buy' call as signs that foreigners want to shake out leveraged retail positions and lift Korean equities. If foreigners are buying from pre-open, non-market-makers should avoid selling that day; with KOSPI at 7,300-7,500, it is still too early to sell.

SK Hynix rebound toward 1.9 million won
SK Hynix's weekly chart shows a sharp, same-angle decline driven by liquidity and crowded positioning rather than deterioration in HBM/AI fundamentals. The speaker says the extreme adjustment is largely done, overbought conditions have cleared, and a rebound is likely; the next key resistance is 1,900,000 won, where the 38.2% retracement and 60-day moving average converge, while the 20-day line is a near-term hurdle.

Hanwha Ocean bounce from 61.8% retracement
Hanwha Ocean, a large shipbuilding/defense name, retraced to the 61.8% Fibonacci adjustment level and is bouncing. The stock is roughly halved from its high, but the speaker expects it to trade inside a support and resistance range for now rather than immediately challenging highs, making this a tactical rebound rather than a breakout call.

Hanwha Aerospace rebound faces resistance
Hanwha Aerospace has already retraced about half of its decline and rebounded 55% from its low in about two weeks. It is now testing the descending line connecting highs, where the speaker says it looks tired and faces resistance. The setup is a watch for stalling or reversal risk rather than a fresh chase.
Lee Jin-woo Director, GFM Investment Research 15:41
Doosan Enerbility bounce but correction risk
Doosan Enerbility bounced after reaching the 61.8% retracement level, and the bullish interpretation is that a wave-4 correction has ended and a wave-5 advance can follow. However, the speaker also notes the cautious interpretation of an A-B-C correction with a possible C-wave, monthly sell signals, and weak volume, making this a two-sided technical setup.

LS Electric held support and bounced
LS Electric's rally ended with a sharp FOMO-driven selloff, but price stopped exactly at the 200-day moving average and 61.8% retracement support. It is now around the 38.2% retracement of the latest decline with a small upper wick; the speaker says this technical framework is effective for large-cap names that are not controlled by small groups, implying a bounce is underway.
Lee Jin-woo Director, GFM Investment Research 17:27
Rainbow Robotics bounce but extreme valuation
Rainbow Robotics bounced after reaching the 61.8% adjustment level, but its valuation remains extreme: trailing P/E of about 6,500-7,700x and 2026 forward P/E of about 620x. The chart allows a rebound, but the speaker emphasizes the valuation is not a reason to chase.
Lee Jin-woo Director, GFM Investment Research 18:21
Hyundai Motor cheap with robot optionality
Hyundai Motor fell 56% from its high and is trying to rebound, up about 23% from its low. The speaker notes that the market increasingly treats it as a robot company, but its valuation is only 11-12x trailing and 9-10x forward P/E, which is dramatically cheaper than pure robot stocks; the valuation contrast is the edge.
