Market overview before the session
In the previous session, VNINDEX rose sharply by 22.0 points, equivalent to 1.3%, to 1,760.6 points. Meanwhile, HNXINDEX fell 0.6 points to 261.1 points, and UPCOMINDEX was flat at 126.9 points, indicating that market breadth still leaned toward divergence rather than broad-based gains.
This development is consistent with a short-term capital flow that remains active but mainly rotates among stock groups with their own distinct stories. The overall sentiment is selectively cautious rather than chasing prices across the board.
Notable movers on HOSE
Among gainers, PET led with a 6.9% increase, followed by SMA up 6.8%, HAS up 6.7%, ORS up 6.5%, and HTV up 5.6%. On the other side, the sharper decliners included STG down 6.9%, KOS down 6.9%, DTT down 6.8%, NVT down 6.8%, and PMG down 6.7%.
Liquidity was concentrated in leading names such as SHB with 39.4 million shares, VIX with 32.3 million shares, TPB with 27.5 million shares, VSC with 21.9 million shares, and SSI with 19.1 million shares. This suggests that capital continues to favor stocks with high recognition and good liquidity.
Noteworthy technical signals
Stocks with high composite scores include CMF at 85.4 points, VNZ at 79.3 points, VLB at 78.2 points, SAS at 77.6 points, and ABI at 75.0 points. On the signal side, DTT and FDC still maintain bullish EMA and MACD readings, while FPT is in the oversold RSI zone, and TTT and VLB have entered overbought territory.
It is worth noting that stocks with high composite scores do not necessarily mean a consensus uptrend will form immediately, but they are typically the groups the market watches closely when capital flows improve. In the current context, the price base and the sustainability of liquidity remain more important than short-term breakouts.
HNX and UPCOM
On HNX, CAR and TMB both rose close to the ceiling, at 9.9% each, while HMH and CTT fell nearly 10.0%. On UPCOM, price swings were even stronger, with PIS up 40.0% and DCG up 39.8%, while FTI dropped 32.4% and HLB fell 15.0%.
This volatility clearly reflects a search for opportunities in speculative and small-cap stocks, but it also brings high risk of sharp swings. Investors monitoring the market this morning should focus on how prices react around the nearest resistance zones rather than expecting a broad-based rally.
Outlook before the session
With VNINDEX holding above 1,760 points, the 1,770-1,780 point zone will be the next area to test if buying demand continues to hold. If volatility emerges, the 1,745-1,750 point zone remains the level to watch for supply-demand reactions.
The most likely scenario is for the market to open with a supply-testing move, followed by divergence across sectors. Capital is likely to continue favoring stocks with clear trends, tight price bases, and good liquidity, rather than a broad-based simultaneous breakout.
