Weekly Top Ten Equity Derivatives – Apr 5, 2026

1. Dongjin Semichem (005290 KS): Tactical Outlook Ahead of TIGER FnGuide Semis Top10 Index Exclusion

By Nico Rosti, MRM Research

• On April 10 TIGER will rebalance the index: Sanghyun Park reported they will stick to the rulebook, so the exclusion of Dongjin Semichem (005290 KS) seems effectively locked.
• According to our model, the stock was heavily oversold at last week’s close, falling well below the P75 (48,300) support level. It rebounded this week and is rallying.
• With one week and two days to April 10, we will use our model to assess potential short-term paths this week, next week, and possible rally extension.

2. Samsung Electronics (005930 KS): BEARISH Tactical Outlook Driven by Asian Tech Sector Decay

By Nico Rosti, MRM Research

• As discussed in our recent Pan-Asia Radar, the Asian Tech/Semis sector is exhibiting a sharp negative decay of -0.9, falling to a Short IR of -1.1. 
• This suggests that while the underlying markets (Taiwan/Korea) are strong, the specific sector-level alpha is fading and this insight specifically analyzes that decay for Samsung Electronics (005930 KS) .
• The combination of negative sector momentum and price exceeding historical downside velocity suggests a high-conviction bearish environment, though our model shows if this week closes down, a reversal is possible.
