Emergency Interview: Samsung Electronics, the Last Bastion, Breaks Trend; Korean Stock Market Warning Light On; Will Deposits Break 100 Trillion Won? | Hwang Yuhyun Team Leader

Summary

Hwang Yuhyun PB Team Leader explains the sharp selloff in SK Hynix and Samsung Electronics, driven by leveraged ETF forced selling. She details how SK Hynix’s key 210,000 won support broke and became resistance, while Samsung Electronics briefly broke its 266,000 won support, making it a critical watchpoint. She advises trapped shareholders to sell rallies, cautions against adding leveraged ETFs, and suggests low-position investors can gradually accumulate the two semiconductor names on further dips given the long-term AI growth story.

• SK Hynix plunged >15%, breaking 210,000 won support twice; trend now broken and that level is strong resistance.
• Samsung Electronics briefly broke 266,000 won (30% from highs) for the first time; must recover or market's last pillar fails.
• Leveraged single-stock ETF unwinds are forcing incremental selling, making traditional technical levels unreliable.
• Investors with high-cost positions should use any bounces toward 210,000 won in SK Hynix to reduce.
• Investors with abundant cash can cautiously accumulate Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix on further dips, without urgency.
• Leveraged ETFs on SK Hynix are unsuitable for long-term holds; avoid increasing allocation now.
• SK Square already warned with a high-volume trend break and is now considered very risky.
• Big tech earnings could provide a short-term bounce catalyst but are likely to be sold into.
