There’s an interesting pattern here: when the index gets close to “psychological” levels like 8000, enthusiasm ramps up way faster than fundamentals. It’s like the market also has a thing for round numbers, almost like a collective superstition with Bloomberg open on the screen.

I get the feeling the market is kind of “forcing” an optimistic logic. Like, semiconductors are doing well, so everything must be fine. But recent history shows that heavy concentration in a few sectors can inflate the index while hiding weakness underneath.

The most interesting detail here isn’t even the index going up, but who’s actually buying. When local investors step in heavily while foreigners are selling, that usually says more about internal confidence than global fundamentals. Or it just means they’re playing completely different timing games.

Funny how every time the market starts rallying hard, a clean narrative shows up right after to explain it. First it goes up, then the story gets nicely organized. Feels like a classic case of liquidity looking for a convenient explanation.
