Market crashes pose significant risks to the stability and performance of financial markets, making the development of an early warning system crucial. This study utilizes exchange rate volatility and investor sentiment to predict market crashes. While several studies have examined factors affecting market crashes in developing countries. This study aims to develop an early warning system for investors to minimize investment risk using Exchange Rate Volatility and Investor Sentiment. The study focused on seven countries: Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, the Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam, and Mongolia. The stock exchanges examined included Jakarta Stock Exchange Composite, FTSE Malaysia KLCI, FTSE Singapore, SET Index, PSEi, HNX/HNXI, and MNE Top 20/MNETOP20. The analysis involved assessing early warning systems to provide valuable supplementary information for decision making and evaluating market vulnerabilities. The logistic regression equation was utilized to model market crashes, incorporating variables such as exchange rate volatility and investor sentiment while considering their interactions as moderating factors. The results indicate that exchange rate volatility and investor sentiment have a significant negative effect on market crashes, with probabilities of 0.0082 and 0.000 Furthermore, investor sentiment acts as a mediator for exchange rate volatility, amplifying its impact on market crashes. This suggests that higher exchange rate volatility and negative investor sentiment increase the likelihood of market crashes. Exchange rate volatility and investor sentiment can serve as early warning indicators, emphasizing the importance of monitoring these factors for market participants and policymakers.
