In the last two days the large‑cap market has risen slightly, and the movements of high‑frequency investors—those in the top 1% for returns—have attracted attention. These traders recently bought low‑priced small‑cap stocks such as 반도체 and 현대차, while strategically selling high‑cap stocks that were on an upward trend, such as SK하이닉스.
They first recorded the largest net purchase at HPSP (Korea Power). They also continued to buy 삼화콘덴서 of Hyundai Motor, showing active moves to raise investors’ returns. Meanwhile, high‑cap stocks like SK하이닉스 that were on an upward trend were sold at a point when they rose, generating profits.
This trading pattern reflects investors’ tendency to maximize profit by quickly buying low‑priced stocks and selling those that are trending upward. In particular, high‑frequency investors respond sensitively to market volatility and try risk management through low‑price purchases.
