Good riddance.
The KOSPI was one of the biggest winners of the AI boom, but those tailwinds are beginning to reverse. Deteriorating technicals, elevated leverage and persistent retail buying are creating uncomfortable echoes of China's 2015–16 market.
The recent sell-off has left investors increasingly defensive. But oversold technicals, washed-out positioning, elevated downside hedging and supportive seasonality suggest the Nasdaq may be setting up for a meaningful short-term squeeze.
Hyperscalers are still spending aggressively on AI, but markets are becoming increasingly sensitive to the cost as free cash flow deteriorates, debt issuance surges and higher rates weigh on valuations. Credit markets are already flashing caution while equities remain relatively complacent, leaving AI leaders vulnerable if spending continues to outpace monetization.
The technical backdrop continues to deteriorate as major indices test key support levels just as positioning and macro risks become increasingly unfavorable. The charts suggest the market's margin for error is shrinking, with a break of support potentially unleashing significant mechanical selling.
Oil has quietly staged one of its strongest advances of the year, yet most cross-asset markets remain surprisingly relaxed. The longer crude keeps grinding higher, the greater the risk that today's isolated energy move spills over into broader market volatility.
