Entering the trading session on September 9, VN-Index once reached close to the 1,850 point mark thanks to support from some large-cap stocks. However, this continued to be a resistance zone creating significant selling pressure. Selling pressure increased sharply in the afternoon session, concentrated in the large-cap stock group, especially VIC and VHM.
VN-Index at one point plunged more than 18 points, down close to the 1,820 point zone. The positive point is that demand quickly appeared when the market retreated deeply. The decline was slowed down and the index recovered significantly in the late session.
Closing the trading session on September 9, VN-Index decreased by 3.32 points (-0.18%) to 1,827.12 points with 120 gainers, while there were 190 losers. Total trading volume reached 566.8 million units, worth 14,557 billion VND. In which, negotiated transactions contributed nearly 100 million units, worth 2,227.6 billion VND. Foreign investors' transactions were a minus point when net selling 282 billion VND across the market.
Market developments show that the index's dependence on large-cap groups is quite high. Two stocks VIC and VHM decreased by more than 2% and nearly 0.8% respectively, becoming the main drag on the VN-Index.
Cash flow continues to focus on some familiar stocks such as SHB, VIX, HPG, BSR, VHM and the banking group TCB, VPB, HDB, MBB. However, the differentiation between stock groups shows that cash flow has not spread widely enough to create momentum for a new upward wave.
The fact that VN-Index maintained the 1,820 point zone after a strong sell-off shows that cash flow is still ready to absorb stocks when prices adjust, thereby helping the market temporarily regain balance.
The stock market is in a state of tug-of-war between profit-taking selling pressure in the high zone and bottom-fishing demand when the index adjusts. If liquidity does not improve significantly, the possibility of VN-Index continuing to fluctuate in this zone still exists.
BVSC Securities Company recommends that investors prioritize maintaining caution, taking advantage of uptrends to restructure their portfolios and reduce the proportion of weakened stocks. Investors should limit chasing prices in excitement, and wait for clearer trend confirmation signals from liquidity.
OCBS Securities Company also expressed the view that VN-Index is likely to continue to test the 1,850 - 1,880 point zone, but there may be fluctuations.Cash flow is forecast to continue to be concentrated in large-cap groups, banks and securities; the improvement of breadth will be an important factor to expand the trend.Investors should limit chasing purchases, prioritizing waiting for adjustment phases to find suitable disbursement points.
