TRADING STRATEGY
The stock market closed slightly in the red, near the reference level of 1,324 points, with liquidity equivalent to the previous trading session. Sectoral divergence intensified, with positive performance seen in leading stocks from the financial, technology, industrial services, and retail sectors. On the other hand, selling pressure was concentrated mainly in real estate, chemicals, and basic resources stocks. The VN-Index is expected to fluctuate around the 1,325–1,330-point range today.
The market continues to trade within a narrow range near the 1,340–1,350 resistance zone. Strong net foreign selling for the second consecutive session has temporarily dampened sentiment, despite the return of bottom-fishing demand. This trend may persist for a few more sessions before the VN-Index resumes its primary uptrend. Investors can take advantage of market pullbacks to increase holdings in strategic stock portfolios. Short-term trading should focus on individual stock management and closely follow liquidity trends.
