EWY, which tracks South Korean equities with heavy exposure to Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix, has traded near $177–$180 in late August 2026 after a sharp mid-month correction erased some of the ETF’s prior 75–80% year-to-date advance fueled by AI memory-chip demand. Recent sessions reflect elevated volatility tied to retail deleveraging, foreign-flow reversals, and broader questions around valuation sustainability in the KOSPI, with the benchmark index swinging several percent daily. Market-implied odds for the week of August 24 assign roughly even probabilities to tests of $183–$185, reflecting trader focus on whether short-term momentum from semiconductor fundamentals can overcome seasonal weakness and lingering technical resistance near recent highs. No major data releases or corporate events are scheduled to immediately alter the path.

Only prices achieved during the regular trading hours of the primary exchange on which the listed security trades (typically 9:30 AM – 4:00 PM ET) will be considered. Prices occurring during pre-market or after-hours trading will not qualify.
Prices will be used exactly as published by Pyth, without rounding.
In the event of a stock split, reverse stock split, or similar corporate action affecting the listed company during the listed time frame, this market will resolve based on split-adjusted prices as displayed on Pyth.
The target price will be adjusted proportionally to reflect any stock splits. Resolution will be based on the historical price data as shown on Pyth after any adjustments have been applied.
The resolution source for this market is Pyth — specifically, the South Korea ETF (EWY) "High" and "Low" prices available at https://pythdata.app/explore/Equity.US.EWY%2FUSD, with the chart settings configured for 1-minute candles.
Historical 1-minute candles may be accessed by appending a Unix timestamp (seconds) to the Pyth chart URL using the "t=" parameter. Any timestamp within the listed market time frame may be used to view the relevant candle data (e.g., https://pythdata.app/explore/Equity.US.EWY%2FUSD?t=1773432000)
If the relevant Pyth data is unavailable due to a system outage, data failure, or other technical disruption that prevents verification of the required 1-minute candle data, the official daily high/low price published by the primary exchange on which the listed security trades will be used to determine whether the listed price was reached during the applicable trading session.
