On the 8th, major stocks that had hit their upper price limits during the session are showing a trend of narrowing gains as profit-taking sell orders emerged, causing them to fall below their limit prices.

Specifically, based on intraday levels, Serim B&G maintained strength at 1,088 won, up 223 won (25.78%) from the previous trading day, but failed to reach its upper limit price of 1,124 won, trading 3.02% (34 won) below that level. Beautyskin also traded at 2,170 won, up 23.37%, recording a price 3.50% (80 won) below its upper limit of 2,285 won.

• Other major stocks that saw their gains narrow include the following:
• KPM Tech: 7,360 won (up 22.67%), down 340 won (4.36%) from the upper limit (7,800 won)
• Youngheung: 2,090 won (up 18.55%), down 30 won (1.31%) from the upper limit
• Gwangmu: 1,648 won (up 14.84%), with a gap of 286 won (15.34%) from the upper limit
• Sejong Telecom: 9,740 won (up 18.78%), down 1,140 won (10.69%) from the upper limit
• Openbase: 1,940 won (up 6.07%), with a gap of 19.12% from the upper limit
• LSK iRobot and SG: trading at prices 10.72% and 11.17% below their respective upper limits

The market analyzes that as profit-taking volume flowed into stocks that recorded upper limits due to concentrated buying early in the session, some departed from their price limits. Nevertheless, a significant number of stocks are still maintaining double-digit gains, indicating that investment sentiment remains relatively robust.

Experts advised that for stocks that have surged sharply in the short term, volatility can expand significantly, making it necessary to monitor not only whether they break away from upper limits but also changes in trading volume and buy-sell supply and demand dynamics.
