Sectors and stocks to watch

- FMC : Good short-term momentum, but liquidity sustainability needs to be checked.

Prospects and risks
In the short term, the market is likely to continue moving in a selective accumulation phase, with a divergence between different groups of stocks. Stocks with strong technical signals may continue to attract attention, but will need further confirmation from liquidity and reaction at resistance levels.
The main risks currently lie in the downward pressure on the HNX exchange and the lack of consensus among market-wide capital flows. Investors need to closely monitor the VNINDEX 's reaction around the current level to assess the potential for trend extension in the coming sessions.
