Overnight highlight
The morning session on April 21st is likely to open in a mixed state, with the VNINDEX maintaining its positive momentum, while the HNXINDEX weakens and the UPCOMINDEX remains flat. According to data updated at 08:57:02 UTC on 2026-04-2020, the VNINDEX closed at 1,837.1 points, up 1.1%, while the HNXINDEX fell 1.0% to 257.3 points and the UPCOMINDEX was at 129.5 points.
Market sentiment continues to be supported by positive news regarding MWG's Dien May Xanh (electronics) segment, while negative stories related to STL may put pressure on speculative real estate stocks. The overall context suggests that capital flows favor stocks with stronger technical fundamentals rather than spreading across the entire market.
Technical level
From a technical perspective, several stocks are approaching areas to watch closely during the morning session:
| Code | Price | Resist | Support | Overall score |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| DSE | 23,950 | 24,100 | 23,750 | 80.4 |
| ABB | 15,000 | 15,300 | 14,400 | 83.6 |
| MWG | 87,300 | 87,700 | 86,000 | 76.3 |
| PNJ | 115,000 | 119,200 | 113,500 | 75.8 |
| IDC | 48,300 | 49,500 | 46,800 | 76.0 |
ABB currently holds the highest composite score among the watchlists at 83.6, while DSE and MWG also maintain an upward trend and positive MACD. Conversely, although VBC has a fairly good composite score, the 21,000 support zone needs to be carefully observed due to the lack of strong short-term momentum.
Notable industry groups
- Retail and consumer goods group: MWG is the most noteworthy stock thanks to its psychological support story and technical indicators approaching the resistance level of 87,700.
- Banking sector: ABB and PSI show relatively consistent technical signals, which could attract short-term capital if the market maintains its early-session momentum.
- Real estate sector: greater caution is needed in light of conflicting information, especially in highly volatile speculative stocks.
- Midcap stocks with strong fundamentals : PNJ , IDC , and DSE continue to be key stocks to watch in a market that prioritizes selective trading.
The liquidity from the previous session showed that money was still present in large-cap stocks such as SHB with 47.4 million shares, VIX with 42.4 million, and HPG with 26.4 million. This reinforces the view that market breadth has not truly spread, but rather tends to rotate among a few leading groups.
Today's session scenario
The most likely scenario is that the market will fluctuate cautiously but maintain a slight positive momentum if the VNINDEX stays above the early session equilibrium. The 1,837 point level will be the near-term reference point, while fluctuations may occur as the index approaches short-term resistance levels.
From a strategic perspective, investors can observe the reaction of MWG around 87,700, PNJ around 119,200, and IDC around 49,500 to assess the sustainability of the rebound. If the HNXINDEX continues to be weaker than the VNINDEX , the market is likely to remain in a selective phase rather than a consensus breakout.
