Overview of the trading session
The trading session on April 29, 2026 closed with strong divergence across exchanges. On the HOSE, the VNINDEX fell 1.2% to 1,854.1 points, indicating that short-term correction pressure remains present despite the index being at a high level.
Market liquidity remained high, significantly concentrated in actively traded stocks such as SHB , NVL , DXG , and CII . Market breadth showed a rotational trend, with both strong gainers and sharp losers appearing simultaneously.
| Index | Score | Change |
|---|---|---|
| VNINDEX | 1,854.1 | -1.2% |
| HNXINDEX | 250.7 | +0.5% |
| UPCOMINDEX | 127.5 | -0.1% |
Outstanding stock group
In the leading group on the HOSE, many stocks recorded positive gains, notably BFC (+7.0%), IMP (+6.9%), SPM (+6.9%), HII (+6.9%), and FDC (+6.8%). Conversely, strong profit-taking pressure emerged at PTC (-6.8%), HRC (-6.7%), VIC (-5.1%), BRC (-4.8%), and OPC (-4.0%).
Notable liquidity was concentrated in SHB with 41.7 million shares, followed by NVL with 25.6 million, DXG with 25.1 million, CII with 22.5 million, and VPB with 18.8 million shares. This signals that capital remains active, but is rapidly shifting between industry groups and individual stocks.

| IMP | +6.9% | 31.1 thousand |
| SPM | +6.9% | 200 |

Industry analysis
The Chemicals and Pharmaceuticals sector was a relatively bright spot, with BFC , DCM , DPM , IMP , and SPM all showing positive performance. Conversely, the Real Estate sector faced more significant downward pressure, with VIC and VHM declining, although DXG and DIG maintained their gains.
In the banking sector, SHB was the most outstanding stock of the session, while TCB and VPB declined slightly. The securities and construction materials sectors continued to show divergence, reflecting the selective flow of capital into stocks with unique stories.
On the HNX, the HNXINDEX edged up slightly by 0.5%, supported by several high-capitalization and high-liquidity stocks. Meanwhile, the UPCOMINDEX fell 0.1%, indicating that the price fluctuations remain volatile and have not yet created a uniform trend.
Prospects
Technically, the most noteworthy signals currently include MSH (71.9), HDB (71.4), and DPR (71.3), indicating that some stocks still maintain better momentum than the overall market. However, the overall market developments still need to be closely monitored as short-term correction pressure has not been completely eliminated.
In the upcoming sessions, the nearest support zone of the index will be a key point to watch to assess the absorption of demand, while the resistance zone above will determine the market's ability to maintain its upward momentum. Investors should also pay attention to factors such as capital flow, liquidity, and leading stock groups to identify early signals of the next trend.
