Market Overview
The trading session on August 25 closed with a mixed picture across the main indices. The VN-Index rose 2.6 points, equivalent to 0.1%, to 1,791.4 points, while the HNX-Index fell 0.5 points, or -0.2%, to 282.7 points, and the UPCOM-Index dropped 1.0 point, or -0.8%, to 126.8 points.
This movement suggests that capital flows remain selective rather than spreading evenly across the market. Among leading stocks driven by technical signals, several names continued to stand out, while low-liquidity stocks or those undergoing short-term corrections showed that volatility remains noticeable.

On the downside, HDB fell 1.5% to 27,000, while CLW declined 1.6% to 55,000. Both remain within the broader positive technical picture, but short-term price action indicates that profit-taking pressure near nearby resistance levels persists.

Outlook
Overall, the short-term trend of the market still leans positive as the VN-Index continues to hold at elevated levels, and many stocks maintain favorable signals. However, the divergence between exchanges, along with low liquidity in some stocks, suggests that volatility may still emerge as prices approach nearby resistance zones.
In the coming sessions, the index's reaction around its current level will be a key factor in confirming the sustainability of the trend. Investors should continue monitoring stocks trading close to resistance areas and those whose liquidity has not yet meaningfully improved.
