## Key Analysis Areas

INST_FLOW focuses on combining multiple data points rather than making decisions from a single indicator.

Key analysis areas include:

- Japanese stock market supply and demand
- Institutional short selling
- Institutional short covering
- Margin buying balances
- Margin selling balances
- Margin trading ratios
- Stock price and trading volume
- Important corporate disclosures and IR
- Earnings and company events
- Market themes and sector trends
- Theoretical price ranges
- Top and bottom price signals
- Broader Japanese and global market conditions

## Interpretation Guidance

Institutional short selling alone does not mean a stock price will fall.

Institutional short covering alone does not mean a stock price will rise.

A high margin ratio alone does not determine future stock direction.

A theoretical upper or lower price level does not guarantee a market top or bottom.

INST_FLOW analyzes these factors together with other market and company information.
