The Kobeissi Letter's treemap drew 569.7K views on X: 2.4x its typical post and #8 of 80 The Kobeissi Letter charts we track by views. Read Oct 16, 2026.
BREAKING: South Korea's stock market extends losses to over -8% on the day, triggering a level 1 circuit breaker.
Why it spread
This post from @KobeissiLetter spread because it covered a hot topic that week, South Korea's market falling over -8% and triggering a level 1 circuit breaker, and it used an unusual chart type, a treemap, which together drove 5,686 likes, 692 reposts, 181 quotes, 355 saves and 474,947 views.
What worked
- The post leads with breaking news of a market drop of over -8% and a trading halt of 20 minutes, which is a hot topic that week and gives people an urgent reason to share.
- The treemap is an unusual chart type that shows stock market sectors in widespread decline, so it stands out in a feed and is easy to grasp at a glance.
- The account is branded and reaches the top quarter of source reach, and the quote rate is above average, so the post pulled in discussion as well as passive views.
What to borrow
We could take a hot market event and pair it with a treemap of our own sector data, keeping the headline plain and letting the unusual form carry the spread.
Careful
Do not copy the lack of a source line, and do not over-read the numbers as proof that the treemap alone caused the spread, since the hot topic that week and the account's top quarter reach also mattered.
