## Main Thesis
The KOSPI is in a significant crash, down 10.3%, and has not yet reached technical support, suggesting further downside towards the 5,000 level which could negatively impact the semiconductor sector.

## Charts & Technical Analysis

### 1. KOSPI (weekly)

**Bias:** BEARISH
**Pattern:** series of lower lows and lower highs
**Key Levels:** 5,000 support

Atkinson discusses the KOSPI's significant 10.3% drop, which is causing massive liquidations of leveraged accounts. On the weekly chart, he notes the index is in a clear downtrend, making a series of lower lows and lower highs, and has not yet reached technical support. He states that most people would be looking towards the 5,000 level as a potential support, which is still further down. This move is expected to lead to 'further semiconductor failure' unless it recovers.

## Regime / Cycle Analysis
The analysis highlights a risk-off event driven by a crash in the KOSPI, fueled by the liquidation of a massive number of leveraged accounts (1.2 million went in, almost 400,000 getting levered out). This event is presented as having a potential contagion effect on the semiconductor sector.

## Key Calls & Predictions
- The KOSPI has not yet seen a change of trend and is expected to continue lower.
- A key technical support level for the KOSPI is around the 5,000 mark.
- The KOSPI crash is likely to lead to 'further semiconductor failure'.

## All Instruments Mentioned
