How VBTS Operates and Its Market Impact

Caner Yılmaz – BIST 100 Technical and Quantitative Analysis Director: The activation of VBTS amplifies short‑term selling pressure on Edip Gayrimenkul, yet it also provides a clear volatility‑risk signal for market participants. Technicals suggest a brief corrective phase for the index; however, the 20‑day EMA’s continued upward trajectory preserves medium‑term upside potential. Investors should tighten stop‑loss levels during the VBTS window and hedge portfolios with low‑correlation assets.
