Woofun AI data shows that South Korean securities firms conducted approximately 324.95 billion Korean won in actual reverse transactions between July 6 and July 10. This figure represents a 32% increase over the previous five-week average of approximately 244.21 billion Korean won and is roughly five times higher than the volume recorded during the week of June 15 to June 19.

Daily pressure peaked on July 9 with approximately 142.197 billion Korean won, accounting for 10.2% of unsettled receivables. The following day saw around 81.613 billion Korean won. These reverse transactions occur when brokers forcibly sell stocks if investors fail to replenish financing funds, reflecting the scale of passive liquidation in leveraged accounts.
