Overnight highlight
The start of the week is likely to be cautious as the external environment leans towards risk. Middle Eastern conflicts are increasing oil price volatility, while Q2 ETF review data could put short-term pressure on the banking sector.
Conversely, international developments have not yet shown a shock large enough to completely break the current market consolidation. Therefore, capital may continue to flow into sectors benefiting from oil prices and stocks with strong technical fundamentals.
| Index | Value | Fluctuations | Liquidity |
|---|---|---|---|
| VN-Index | 1,817.2 | -0.1% | 632.3 million |
| HNX-Index | 260.0 | +1.4% | 63.1 million |
| UPCOM-Index | 128.4 | +0.1% | 39.3 million |
Reference chart for VN-Index:
Technical level
Based on data up to 2026-04-18T06:07:51Z , the VN-Index is still fluctuating around its equilibrium zone after a slight correction. Near-term support to watch is at 1,805-1,810 points, while short-term resistance is in the 1,825-1,830 point range.
In this context, the index's reaction around the technical support levels will be more important than individual intraday fluctuations. If the index holds its current level, the probability of sector-specific divergence remains higher than a scenario of a widespread decline.
The group of codes shows positive technical signals.
- SJD , DSE , PAN , and PVP are currently showing positive short-term trends.
- HAG , VBC , BCF , and PCE maintained relatively stable prices.
- CIA , VNC , VVS , MTP , HSP , LLM , and TED continue to be groups to watch as the market diverges.
| Code | Price | Resist | Support | Overall score |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| SJD | 14,000 | 14,100 | 13,850 | 76.7 |
| DSE | 23,850 | 24,100 | 23,750 | 76.4 |

Notable industry groups
Oil price movements could help keep the oil, gas, energy, and logistics sectors in focus at the start of the trading session. Stocks like PVS , PVD , GAS , and PLX are likely to remain key targets if international commodity volatility persists.
Conversely, the banking sector needs to react more cautiously due to the ETF restructuring story during the Q2 review. This could create short-term pressure on some large-cap stocks, although it may not be enough to change the overall trend if demand in other sectors remains strong.
Looking at it from the perspective of cash flow patterns.
- Oil and gas : benefiting from defensive sentiment and volatile oil prices.
- Banks : are affected by ETF portfolio restructuring activities.
- Stocks with strong technical fundamentals are more likely to attract short-term capital when the market is trending sideways.
Today's session scenario
The most likely scenario is that the market will experience initial volatility followed by sector differentiation. The VN-Index will likely fluctuate around its equilibrium point before a clearer direction is established in the latter half of the session.
If strong buying pressure emerges at the support zone of 1,805-1,810 points, the accumulation phase may be maintained further. Conversely, if selling pressure increases at the resistance zone of 1,825-1,830 points, the market may continue to retest the short-term price base.
In the current context, the most important factor to watch is the rotation between the oil and gas sector, banking, and stocks with high technical performance. The actual movement of money in the first few trading sessions will be a crucial signal for the entire market.
