'666' · February started with 'Black Friday'

'666' · February started with 'Black Friday'


"Stock investors laughed in January 2018, and virtual currency investors wept."


In January, the stock market flourished in a word.

The KOSPI rose 4% and the Kosdaq soared 14%.

The KOSPI growth rate in January this year has been eighth since 1997, and the KOSDAQ ranks third.


On the other hand, virtual currencies such as beat coin, ripple, etc. crashed.

Bitcoin dropped more than 40% in January, bitcoin cache and ripple were down 50.7% and 56.2%, respectively.

Exceptionally, Etherium rose 19.8%.


In February, the virtual currency market plummeted globally, and the psychological support line collapsed.

On the second day, the beat coin in overseas markets fell below $ 9,000, while the domestic market lost 9 million won.

Ripple collapsed for $ 1 and $ 900 respectively.

The virtual currency came in February with 'Black Friday'.


Considering that investment was so strong that it was called virtual currency storm last year, the impact of virtual currency investors is not that great.


At the time of the virtual currency boom, stock market officials worried that the money would flow out of the stock market and enter the virtual currency market quickly, but it turned out to be useless.


Some say, "In the virtual currency market, players are already out, and only the individuals who have come back late are holding virtual currencies."


But in the stock market, KOSPI and KOSDAQ investors were able to smile in January.

The KOSPI and KOSDAQ indexes rose at the same time in January only 10 times in the last 22 years, most recently in 2015.


On Wall Street in the US, there is a saying, "If the stock market rises in January, the stock market is good for the year."

If the first departure is good, the end is good.

On the other hand, there is a saying that "the first cleaner is clean".

If you put it in the stock market, it means that the stock market will rise sharply in January, and after that, it will reverse the downturn.


So what about the Korean stock market in the past?


First, KOSPI's January growth rate was the highest among the top-7 in the past four years.


In January 2001, the KOSPI rose 22.45%, followed by a 12.27% increase until the end of the year, and the market closed up 37.47%.

In January 2005, the KOSPI index gained 4.11%, but it soared 47.89% to 53.96% in the year.


At that time, the adjustment of the stock price during the year was not large.

In 2001, it was adjusted by 4.94% compared to the beginning of the year. In 2005, the stock market was not adjusted.


The KOSDAQ market showed similar results.

The KOSDAQ stocks were up four consecutive quarters in January.


In January 2005, the KOSDAQ gained 24.35%, but after that, it rose an additional 48.39% to reach a total of 84.52%.

The KOSDAQ also climbed 47.99 percent in January, up 3.04 percent from the same month last year.


The KOSDAQ index rose 9.89% and 8.95% in January and 2015, respectively, and rose further 40.74% and 15.34% until the end of the year.

In addition, all four years were not adjusted throughout the year.


In this way, the Korean stock market is more likely to have a "good stock market that year if it rises in January".

That is not to be relieved.

In the past 20 years, there have been cases where 'the first clean ball was opened'.


The KOSPI index rose in January 1997 and 1998, but ended in a double-digit decline that year.

The KOSDAQ index rose 6.04% and 7.13% in January 1998 and 1998, respectively, but fell sharply by more than 20%.


However, there is an ominous sign that the rise of January may end in 'gangbangbang' this year from early February.

The KOSPI index plunged 1.68% on the Korean stock market on the 2nd.

Samsung Electronics fell 4.26 percent.

The KOSDAQ index also dropped 0.96 percent.


The New York stock market was the "black Friday" with all three indexes falling by 2%.

The Dow plummeted 665.75 points, or 2.5%, and the daily rate of decline was the highest since December 2008.

The Volatility Index (VIX) of the Chicago Option Exchange (CBOE), which is called the Fear Index, soared 29 percent on the day.


Dow fell 666 points, coincidentally with 666, the number of demons (Satan).


Both stocks and virtual currencies begin February with 'black Friday' and announce adjustments.

If 'Black Monday' follows 'Black Friday' then fear horror can be bigger.
