Trading Session Overview
The 26/08/2026 session closed with widespread green across the HOSE as the VN-Index rose 1.7% to 1,821.3 points. Market-wide liquidity remained elevated at 731.2 million shares, indicating that capital flows remained strong among the leading stocks.
Across the broader market, the HNXINDEX fell 0.2% to 282.0 points, while the UPCOMINDEX edged up 0.1% to 126.9 points. This movement reflects a clearly divergent trend: blue-chip stocks held up better than mid- and small-cap stocks.
Notable Stock Groups
Capital flows were concentrated notably in high-liquidity tickers, with SHB trading 50.2 million shares, VIX reaching 47.8 million shares, and TCB matching 39.2 million shares. This group made a significant contribution to the index's gains during the session.
| Ticker | Price | Change | Volume |
|---|---|---|---|
| TCB | 33,450 | +6.9% | 39.2 million |
| VIC | 230,000 | +4.3% | 10.0 million |
| VIX | 14,350 | +1.8% | 47.8 million |
| COM | 25,050 | -6.2% | 0.1 million |
| BTT | 40,000 | -5.9% | 0.1 million |
| NSC | 66,100 | -5.6% | 1.7 million |
In terms of technical signals, ORS posted a composite score of 81.2, followed by ADP at 75.8 and HDB at 74.2. These stocks are showing a more positive setup than the broader market, although the market still needs further confirmation of the trend's sustainability.
Sector Analysis
The banking sector remains a key anchor, with TCB, SHB, VPB, VCB, and MBB all continuing to attract capital flows. The financial services group also recorded substantial liquidity in VIX, SSI, VCI, VND, and TCX, helping to reinforce positive market sentiment.
Conversely, some small- and mid-cap stocks still faced profit-taking pressure. On the HNX, strong gainers such as HMR at +10.0%, CTT at +9.8%, and TTL at +9.3% highlighted the very clear divergence between sectors.
Outlook and Risks
Technically, the VN-Index is holding at elevated levels and retains its recovery momentum. If buying pressure continues to concentrate in leading stocks, the index could test higher thresholds in the coming sessions.
That said, short-term volatility has not been ruled out, especially as capital flows into smaller stocks remain selective. Investors should closely monitor how liquidity spreads across the market and how the blue-chip group responds in the sessions ahead.
