The stock market in today's trading session, August 11, did not have the excitement of previous sessions due to weak cash flow, investors trading with cautious sentiment and a highly differentiated electronic board.
Meanwhile, the market also did not record destinations that were attractive enough for cash flow, although there were times when some securities stocks shone, but they also quickly cooled down. The group of state-owned stocks also under pressure to take profits after a period of strong increase also had a significant impact on the market.
Closing the trading session on August 11, VN-Index decreased by 3.36 points (-0.19%), to 1,773.41 points. Market liquidity only reached a value of 16,0006 billion VND, down nearly 13% in volume and 10% in value compared to yesterday's session. Block transactions contributed more than 87.2 million units, worth 1,839 billion VND.
In terms of structure, the VN-Index is still in a downward trend when forming gradually lower bottoms and gradually lower peaks from May 2026 to now. The recovery from the end of July is not enough to change this trend.
SHS Securities Company (SHS Securities Company) believes that the index is under adjustment pressure to around 1,750 points under the influence of the Vingroup group. In which, VHM and VIC are moving to a correction phase, accumulating for a long time after a very strong price increase from March 2025.
According to SHS, the VN-Index trend can only improve positively when it surpasses the resistance around 1,800 points, corresponding to the downward trend line connecting the peak areas of May and June, July of 2026. State-owned stocks are expected to continue to have a positive response and be the driving force leading the market, VN-Index is heading towards the price range of 1,800 points.
SHS maintains a cautious view as VN-Index heads towards the price range of 1,800 points. However, market quality is still improving quite well. Investors can still assess and consider good investment opportunities, focusing on leading enterprises in industries that are growing better than the general market such as finance, energy, insurance, telecommunications...
According to the viewpoint of Aseansc Securities Company, the market still needs a breakthrough from the resistance zone of 1,790-1,800 points or confirming the loss of support of 1,770-1,780 points to shape a clearer trend.
In the scenario that the market continues to narrowly fluctuate, Aseansc recommends that short-term investors should maintain a medium stock ratio, avoid chasing purchases in recovery phases and focus on industry groups with their own story.
At the same time, for medium and long-term strategies, adjustments to the support zone are still opportunities to partially disburse into stock groups with good fundamentals and high liquidity such as banking, securities, retail, public investment and oil and gas.
Kafi Securities Company believes that in the short term, VN-Index may continue to struggle and alternate increases and decreases when testing the 1,780 - 1,800 point zone to absorb supply pressure, while the 1,750 point threshold plays a near supporting role to maintain recovery momentum.
Investors should limit chasing purchases when the index approaches the resistance zone, and consider taking partial profits on stocks that have increased sharply if the market shows signs of losing momentum or differentiation is clearer. In terms of disbursement, priority should be given to stocks that maintain cash flow attraction, still have room to increase and have buying points near support in correction phases.
