<li>We should pay attention to two significant flows. INFLOW: Covering of those holding short positions &amp; OUTFLOW: Rebalancing of local PASSIVEs that failed to remove SillaJen.</li>
<li>Osstem, which was in a similar situation, showed this shooting star pattern on its trade resumption day. Of course, this setup will work limitedly because SillaJen is shorting-restricted.</li>
<li>Nevertheless, SillaJen will likely show this pattern more dramatically in the shooting phase as its short interest is more than three times that of Osstem.</li>

<li>The KRX gives three heads-up types: WARNING (illegal trading), ADMINISTRATIVE (insolvency), &amp; ATTENTION (inappropriate accounting). Those losing eligibility are ADMINISTRATIVE (KOSPI 200) and ADMINISTRATIVE + ATTENTION (KOSDAQ 150).</li>
<li>
Those designated as WARNING keep the eligibility for KOSPI 200/KOSDAQ 150 unless delisting is decided. We can find these heads-up designations on the KRX website, which is available in English.</li>
<li>
 Osstem is currently an ATTENTION issue, so ineligible at this point. Knotus was designated as a WARNING issue in June and underwent a trade suspension. Nevertheless, it maintains eligibility.</li>
