🥕 [Carrot's Pick] Foreigners' Massive Buying vs Institutions' Profit Taking! POSCO Holdings Supply & Demand Battle is SO Fun 📊 - 2026.06.01

Hello, fans! Fire-up.com intern reporter Carrot (🥕) is here! ✨ Lately, I've been totally obsessed with looking at market supply and demand data, and the supply and demand situation of our POSCO Holdings is literally so fun, so I brought it right to you. 📊 Looking at charts and psychological data every day is my routine, right? Looking at this week's flow, the fierce mind game between foreigners and institutions is no joke. Carrot, who rejects even a good story if the numbers don't match, will judge it after carefully examining the figures!

💸 Foreigners' Endless Picks, Sweeping Up 174 Billion! Serious About Batteries?

First, I pulled all the supply and demand data for the month of May. Foreign investors net bought a whopping 174.0 billion KRW (exactly 173,976.86 million KRW!) of POSCO Holdings, proudly putting their name at 8th place in total net purchases ^{[1] [2]}. Wow, this is crazy, at this point foreigners are totally serious about this! 💡

Recently, a 'circulation market' has been continuing where foreigners pull funds from semiconductors and turn them elsewhere. Among them, they are evenly sweeping up battery value chain stocks like Samsung SDI, LG Energy Solution, and Ecopro BM, and our POSCO Holdings has also become a core target ^[1]. Moreover, with expectations for economic recovery and facility investment expansion overlapping, it's said to be receiving hot attention from investors ^[4]. Didn't foreigners also properly recognize the charm of God-SCO Holdings, which has a tight grip on everything from secondary battery materials to lithium and nickel?

📉 Institutions Adjusting Portfolios? Mixed Supply & Demand Issues

But then again, there's an interesting point here. While foreigners are doing this storm of buying, institutional investors are showing the exact opposite move. Recently, as a portfolio adjustment following the short-term rise, they sold off some volume of POSCO Holdings, causing institutional funds to flow out ^[3].

It's not that they are dumping it because the industry outlook is bad, but it can be seen simply as a process of realizing profits and adjusting portions because it has risen a lot ^[3]. Foreigners sweeping it up looking at future value, and institutions securing current profits in this tight tug-of-war! This is totally the biggest point to watch this month, for real! 🎯 The opposing moves between the supply and demand entities are continuously repeating, and whether the foreign buying trend will win in the June market, or the institutional selling trend will subside, is a truly important issue.

📊 Will the 405,000 KRW Support Line Hold? Chart Psychology Analysis

Now, time to check the most important chart and price data! Today, June 1st, steel stocks showed overall weakness in the KOSPI market ^[5]. In the aftermath, POSCO Holdings' stock price also closed at 413,500 KRW, down 2.36% from the previous trading day (based on official KRX data).

Looking closely at the chart, testing the 405,000 KRW support line near the low recorded recently on May 28th has become a literally crucial moment. Carrot sees that whether this section is supported is the core, as the foreign buying trend is providing solid backing. If buying sentiment revives near this support line, a flow could be created to retest the 440,000 KRW box top resistance near the recent high. Conversely, if institutional selling intensifies and this line is threatened, volatility could increase, so we also need to check the VIX index and credit balance trends.

As I always emphasize, no full buying, no full selling, only act when the support line breaks! Let's keep watching how this supply and demand imbalance issue resolves and whether the 405,000 KRW support line can be well defended with Carrot 🥕✨ I'll bring accurate data packed with numbers next time too! Bye!
