Overview of the trading session
The trading session on April 23, 2026, recorded a positive market sentiment as the VNINDEX increased by 13.1 points, equivalent to 0.7% , to 1,870.4 points. The index's trading volume reached 1,030,969,130 units, indicating that capital remains present in leading stocks.
Meanwhile, the HNXINDEX fell 0.8% to 253.2 points and the UPCOMINDEX fell 0.4% to 128.3 points. The divergence in performance across the exchanges reflects a market trend leaning towards accumulation within an uptrend, rather than a unanimous breakout across all listed markets.
Outstanding stock group
The group of stocks showing strong gains in this data includes HOSE-listed stocks such as VCB , SAB , and PVT . Specifically, VCB increased by 5.7% to 62,800 VND/share, SAB increased by 7.0% to 48,200 VND/share, and PVT increased by 7.0% to 23,800 VND/share.
Conversely, some stocks experienced more significant corrections, including HAG, down 0.3% to 16,350 VND/share, NFC , down 1.5% to 65,000 VND/share, and KSF , down 2.1% to 95,000 VND/share. However, many declining stocks maintained relatively stable technical structures, indicating that the correction has not completely broken the trend.
Liquidity and level of consensus
Liquidity improved significantly in several leading stocks. VCB reached 35.2 million units, PVT reached 18.6 million units, while SAB recorded 3.4 million units. This trading volume indicates that capital is prioritizing stocks with strong technical signals and the potential to attract market attention.
Among the smaller-capitalization and trading volume stocks in the data, QNP maintained a price of VND 33,000 /share with a trading volume of 3,000 units, while BCF remained unchanged at VND 43,000 /share. These stocks reflect a consolidation phase rather than a strong short-term trend extension.
Technical signal analysis
Looking at the overall score, VCB leads with 78.7 points, followed by SAB with 76.6 points and HAG with 76.6 points. These are the stocks with outstanding technical structures in the available data, with short-term momentum still being maintained.
Technical indicators show that VCB , SAB , PVT , QNP , NFC , ABB , and several others are still in a positive or near-equilibrium trend. This reinforces the view that the market is in an accumulation phase within an uptrend, but needs further confirmation from liquidity to expand its upward momentum.
| Code | Price | Fluctuations | Liquidity | Overall score |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| VCB | 62,800 | +5.7% | 35.2M | 78.7 |
| SAB | 48,200 | +7.0% | 3.4M | 76.6 |
| PVT | 23,800 | +7.0% | 18.6M | 76.3 |
| HAG | 16,350 | -0.3% | 3.2M | 76.6 |
| NFC | 65,000 | -1.5% | 5.2K | 74.9 |
HNX and UPCOM
On the HNX, NFC fell 1.5% to 65,000 VND/share, while PSI rose 1.3% to 8,100 VND/share. On UPCOM, ABB increased 0.7% to 14,900 VND/share, while BSL dropped sharply by 8.9% to 11,300 VND/share.
This development shows that market strength remains concentrated mainly in a few leading stocks rather than spreading evenly across the entire small-cap group. Therefore, trend consensus is not yet perfect, although the overall picture still leans towards positive.
Short-term outlook
With the VNINDEX currently at 1,870.4 points, the next trading range will likely revolve around testing short-term resistance levels. Market breadth and liquidity in leading stocks will be the deciding factors in maintaining the upward momentum in the following sessions.
With many stocks' technical indicators still leaning positive, the current dominant trend remains accumulation within an uptrend. However, investors need to closely monitor any fluctuations as the index approaches nearby resistance levels and when there are signs of capital shifting to other stock groups.
