Trading Session Overview
The mid-session market on 19/10/2026 continued to show a clearly divided picture, with the VN-Index standing at 1,708.0 points, up 0.1%. Overall HOSE liquidity remained high among the leading stocks, but the upward momentum has not yet spread evenly across all sectors.
Market breadth points to a balance tilted toward accumulation. The HNX-Index was nearly flat at 259.1 points, down 0.0%, while the UPCOM-Index edged up to 125.3 points, equivalent to 0.4%. This reflects selective capital flows, favoring stocks with solid liquidity and their own individual stories.

Sector Analysis
The securities sector remained the focal point, with notable liquidity in VIX and SSI, indicating that capital continues to favor stocks highly sensitive to market developments. Real estate also drew attention with NVL, while the overall picture remained one of sharp divergence between strongly rising stocks and those undergoing deep corrections.
On HNX, the strongest gainers were PPP (+10.0%), PLC (+9.5%), SGH (+9.5%), CLM (+9.4%) and MEL (+9.4%). On the downside, BAX and GLT both fell 10.0%, followed by CAR (-9.5%), ONE (-9.4%) and VCC (-8.6%).
UPCOM also saw sharp moves, with TNW, PCC and EFI hitting the daily ceiling at 15.0%, while KHD dropped 39.5% and FTI fell 32.4%. The wide price swings in this group indicate that volatility risk remains high.
Noteworthy Technical Signals
| Ticker | Composite Score | Interpretation |
|---|---|---|
| TCX | 74.8 | RSI 33, MACD bullish, EMA bearish |
| DMX | 70.6 | RSI 19, MACD bullish, EMA not aligned |
| TCB | 70.0 | RSI 55, MACD bullish, EMA bullish |
Technical signals are leaning toward selective recovery, but they are not yet strong enough to confirm a broad-based trend. Several stocks with high composite scores still show EMA readings that are not fully aligned, so intraday volatility may continue.
Outlook and Risks
In the short term, the 1,708-point zone of the VN-Index is a level worth watching as the market continues to move within a narrow range and depends heavily on its leading stocks. If liquidity keeps being sustained in the securities and banking sectors, the index may maintain a positive accumulation pattern.
Conversely, if buying momentum weakens in large-cap stocks, the market could continue to diverge sharply and volatility may increase for the rest of the session. Short-term support and resistance levels will need to be closely monitored alongside money flow trends on HOSE, HNX, and UPCOM.
