Conversely, VBC fell 2.3% to VND 21,000 per share and showed more cautious signals as PSAR shifted to a bearish state, while RSI retreated to 38.5.

| Code | Price | Change | Overall score | Technical score |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| TLG | 50,200 | -1.6% | 79.4 | 90 |

Short-term outlook
The closing session showed that the market's main trend remained positive, especially as many stocks on the list continued to be supported by MACD, EMA, and PSAR. However, the fact that some stocks are approaching nearby resistance levels suggests that consolidation may continue before the market establishes a stronger new momentum.
In the short term, the support zone for each stock and the ability to maintain liquidity will be key factors in testing the sustainability of the trend. If cash flow continues to improve, the VNINDEX may maintain a positive state; conversely, the market is likely to experience fluctuations around the current short-term peak.
