A full cycle
Hyejin Kang and the bank charts, autumn 2025
Hyejin Kang followed three bank names and the KOSPI through the autumn studio. Her Monday habit was to let the morning broadcast choose the weekly support. If the presenter sounded pleased, she lifted the line. Shin asked her, in week two, to copy Friday's swing marks before she listened to anything on Monday, and to put the broadcast sentence on the facing page with the time she heard it.
In week four a lower high was still on the weekly chart of the name she cared about most, while the morning coverage was cheerful about loan demand. She read both aloud. The cheerful line stayed on the left. The lower high stayed on the right. She said later that the week felt unfinished, because nothing in the room told her what to do with the shares she already held. That was the constraint she had been told about on the first night, and she still found it cold.
By week six her presentation was that one pair of pages. She did not claim the lower high predicted anything. She claimed she could finally point at the disagreement without repairing it. Han's note in the journal check was that the breadth count was still missing on quiet days. Hyejin added it for the names she already followed, and stopped there.
