TRADING STRATEGY
The stock market suddenly fell sharply to 1,636 points with liquidity increasing beyond the average level of the previous trading week. Selling pressure appeared in almost all industry groups, especially stocks playing a leading role in the finance, real estate, F&B, and industrial services sectors. VN-Index today is likely to fluctuate around the 1,600-1,640 point area.
The market was under pressure to adjust down quite unexpectedly due to concerns from many unverified information about domestic macro. Selling pressure concentrated mainly in the late afternoon session, causing the supporting demand to almost not bring much support to the general index. Overall, systemic risk factors have not appeared at all and many basic stocks are at prices approaching the price base corresponding to the business results of the second quarter of 2025. Currently, the near support zone of VN-Index is the area around the psychological mark of 1,600 points. Investors should pay attention to controlling the portfolio proportion at a safe level. On the other hand, buying for the purpose of holding in the medium and long term can be considered when the stock price shows signs of recovery at individual support zones.
