Industry analysis
Financial Services
This sector demonstrates a clear capital turnover: stocks like SSI (price 27,900, volume 4,029,880), VIX , and HCM have large trading volumes and values, indicating that capital is still actively involved but selectively allocated.
Banks
The banking sector showed outstanding liquidity in SHB (volume 7,984,540, price 15,200). However, price movements within the sector were mixed: some stocks saw slight increases while SHB displayed high volume, reflecting internal stock rotation among stocks in the sector.
Real Estate Investment & Services
The real estate sector saw strong market momentum in large-cap stocks such as VIC and VHM (VHM increased by +6.99%), indicating that this group was one of the driving forces during the session and contributed to the positive performance on the HOSE.
Industrial Metals & Mining
The heavy industry sector, represented by HPG (price 27,150, volume 3,150,370), recorded high liquidity and positive signals in the overall index, indicating that investor trading activity in this group remains active but with differentiation among component stocks.
Travel & Leisure
This group stood out with VJC (+6.99%) and several other stocks experiencing strong gains, reflecting a trend of capital flowing into leading stocks in the tourism sector at the close of trading.
Pharmaceuticals & Biotechnology
Some stocks in the sector are experiencing significant volatility and positive signals based on composite scores, indicating that investors are paying attention to the technical advantages of stocks in this sector amidst a polarized market.

Analyzing trends
Overall context: The market on April 1, 2026 showed clear but constructive divergence among leading stocks; MACD and EMA showed positive signals for many stocks, while RSI was mostly neutral, indicating that a short-term recovery scenario exists but the risk of divergence and volatility remains high.
Basic script
- Scenario 1 (likely a recovery trend): The driving force continues to come from large-cap stocks on the HOSE, with capital concentrated in stocks such as VRE , VHM , and VJC . Under this scenario, the sustainability of liquidity in these leading stocks needs to be monitored.
- Scenario 2 (increased differentiation): The market remains highly differentiated, with continued capital rotation between sectors; in this scenario, liquidity is concentrated in individual stocks (e.g., SHB , SHS , OIL ) and volatility remains high.
Variable to observe
- Trading volume in leading stocks (e.g., SHB , SHS , OIL ) is used to assess the sustainability of cash flow.
- Analyze the signal point (aggregate point) movements in prominent stocks such as NHT , DNC , and TOW to see the consensus of the technical indicator.
- The divergence between large-cap stocks and the rest of the market is a risk indicator for a volatility scenario.
The trading session closed on a "close" note, with a clear market divergence but still positive signals concentrated in leading groups; the above scenarios reflect different probabilities and carry the risk of further divergence if liquidity is not maintained.
