Samsung — rank 54 of 86 in our chip section over a month, yet a 9% jump lifts it over its 200-day average
The Closelooknet read
Samsung Electronics (KRX: 005930.KS) ranks 54th of the 86 stocks in our chip section on one-month move, at -15.24%, so the jump to the 200-day line comes from the back half of the group. Our money-flow reading (a gauge of net buying pressure) is 71.3: still positive but slowing, down 10.8 points over five sessions and 40 over 21. The stock closed at KRW 242,000, up 9.01% on the day, above the average close of the last 200 sessions at KRW 236,373.25. We watch whether it holds above that line over the coming sessions, or slips back under it, and whether the money-flow reading stops falling.
