Signals

Korean stocks showing a notable technical move, a squeeze, or unusual short selling and share lending. Each list explains its numbers. Signals describe past prices and trading; they are not recommendations.

Long/short strategies built on these signals →

Stocks where far more lent shares were returned than usual on the latest day: at least 3× the 20-day average and 2% of the shares on loan. A return is a lender's recall or a borrower handing shares back, often after closing a short.

Who's borrowing: foreign vs domestic

The biggest changes in foreign borrowers' loans between Oct 19 and Oct 26, by value (stocks with at least ₩1B borrowed by foreign investors). Rising foreign borrowing often comes before more short selling, falling often after shorts are closed, but loans are also used for other trades. Domestic borrowers include Korean brokers, some of which borrow for overseas clients. Not a recommendation.
