1. Songwon Industrial (004430.KS)

– Technical Breakout & Margin Recovery

The Fundamental Story: Songwon Industrial is the world’s second-largest manufacturer of polymer stabilizers, a critical component in the global plastics industry. While its 2025 performance was underwhelming due to rising raw material costs and logistical challenges, the narrative is shifting toward a “Margin Recovery” in 2026. The company has been proactive, announcing a series of price hikes in March and April. At a current PBR of 0.30, the stock is trading at a deep discount to its book value. I believe the market is beginning to price in the “Bottom-out” scenario where these price adjustments translate into improved gross margins.

Technical & Supply Chain Insights:

• Trend Alignment: The price is firmly positioned above major moving averages (SMA 5, 20, 60, and 120), confirming a strong short-term bullish trend.
• Momentum & Indicators: The MACD shows significantly improved momentum. However, we must be cautious as the CCI (over 200) and Bollinger %B (1.15) flash short-term “overbought” signals. This suggests the price is pushing past the upper band, and a brief “cooling-off” period could occur.
• Supply & Demand: The most compelling evidence is the 5-day buying streak by foreign investors. They are absorbing liquidity from individual and institutional sellers, effectively shifting the price floor upward. Despite some short-selling pressure, the price remains resilient, indicating that the buying demand is much stronger than bearish bets.

Jeni’s Dad’s Strategy: “My entry price is 9,190 KRW. Given the current market volatility, I am opting for a dynamic management strategy rather than fixed price targets. My primary focus is to monitor the price action near key support levels and observe how the bullish momentum sustains with trading volume. I plan to adjust my exit and risk exposure in real-time, based on technical signals and the strength of foreign buying. I prefer to stay flexible to capture the maximum upside while staying prepared for a defensive shift if the trend weakens.”

2. JS Link (127120.KQ)

– Rare Earth Momentum & Supply Chain Pivot

Strategic Narrative & Market Sentiment: JS Link is rapidly transforming from its bio-centric roots into a key player in the “Non-China Rare Earth” supply chain. The market has decoupled this stock from its original business, focusing instead on its pivot to magnet production. The recent 50 billion KRW investment in a Malaysian subsidiary and the successful verification of N52-grade neodymium magnets are massive catalysts. As global industries seek alternatives to Chinese supply chains due to US and EU regulations, JS Link is positioning itself as a strategic partner for the Western tech and defense markets.

In-depth Flow Analysis & Techncials:

• The “Hidden Hand”: Data shows that Institutions were the early movers here, accumulating shares while the price was consolidating. Foreigners then joined the rally on April 9-10, creating a powerful dual-engine for the stock price.
• Short-Selling & Leverage: Crucially, the short-selling volume has plummeted as the price rebounded, suggesting a “Short Covering” phase where bears are forced to buy back shares. With a Credit Balance (Leverage) of only 0.02%, the risk of forced liquidation from individual traders is extremely low, making the current upward trend feel “lighter” and more sustainable.
• Technicals: While sitting at the top of the Bollinger Band, the RSI (63) indicates that the rally still has room to run before hitting extreme exhaustion levels.

Jeni’s Dad’s Strategy: “I entered this position at 42,644 KRW. As JS Link is a high-volatility theme-driven stock, I am prioritizing adaptive risk control. Rather than setting rigid profit or loss points, I will manage my exit based on the real-time strength of the rare earth sector and institutional flow. I am particularly focused on the slope of the 5-day SMA; I will remain ready to secure profits or minimize exposure immediately if the market sentiment shifts or technical support shows signs of exhaustion.”

Closing Thoughts

Today was an exciting day of balancing two very different styles: a stable value play (Songwon) and a high-energy theme play (JS Link). As a beginner investor, I’m learning that successful trading isn’t just about following the news, but understanding the flow of supply, demand, and investor psychology.

“Even on days when I don’t trade, I will keep recording my thoughts on the market trend. It’s all part of the learning process! Happy Trading to everyone!”
