– The stock market faced challenges at the start of the week. Significant pressure from large-cap stocks, especially banks, caused the VN-Index to lose nearly 8 points by the end of the morning session, despite more than half of the sectors remaining in positive territory. In the afternoon session, notable recovery efforts were observed, with buying support at lower prices helping to narrow the decline towards the end of the day. The VN-Index closed the November 11 trading session at 1,250.32, down 2.24 points from the previous day.
– In terms of impact, 9 out of 10 stocks with the most negative influence on the index belonged to the banking group, led by BID and STB, which took away 2 points from the VN-Index. On the other hand, the remarkable performance of HPG and FPT helped the index recoup over 2 points. Additionally, VHM and MSN also successfully reversed their trends in the afternoon session, contributing over 1 point to the VN-Index’s recovery.
– The VN30-Index fell 0.52% to 1,310.46. Sellers dominated with 19 declining stocks, 10 advancing stocks, and 1 unchanged stock. Among them, STB plunged nearly 5%. This was followed by MWG, TPB, HDB, and PLX, which declined by around 2-3%. Conversely, out of the 10 advancing stocks, 7 rose by more than 1%. HPG traded positively from the beginning of the session, leading with a 2.6% gain.
Despite only 3 out of 11 sectors posting losses, the overall index failed to recover. These three sectors included energy, non-essential consumer goods, and finance, all declining by over 1%. Notably, the “king stocks,” which account for about 30% of the market capitalization, were the main contributors to today’s decline. Red dominated the large-cap stocks, notably STB (-4.79%), MSB (-2.92%), TPB (-2.7%), HDB (-2.67%), NVB (-2.27%), BID (-1.9%), TCB (-1.69%), VPB (-1.54%), LPB (-1.4%), and MBB (-1.02%). Additionally, notable decliners in the other two sectors included BSR (-1.42%), PVS (-0.78%), PVD (-0.59%); MWG (-3.08%), PLX (-2%), GEE (-1.49%), and others.
In contrast, the information technology group led the market with a gain of over 2%. This was mainly driven by the two large-cap stocks, FPT (+1.84%) and CMG, which hit the ceiling price. Following closely was the industrial sector, which increased by 1.77%. Transportation stocks within this group continued to shine, attracting positive buying interest, such as MVN, VOS, VTO, and VIP, which turned purple, along with SGP (+8.64%), HVN (+4.23%), VSC (+3.24%), HAH (+2.29%), and ACV (+1.17%).
The VN-Index narrowed its loss with the emergence of a Hammer candlestick pattern, accompanied by volume surpassing the 20-day average. This suggests that market risks have temporarily eased as bottom-fishing funds entered the market, evident in the surge in trading volume. Currently, the Stochastic Oscillator indicator continues to give a buy signal after exiting the oversold region. If this signal is maintained in the coming sessions, the short-term outlook may not be overly pessimistic.
II. TREND AND PRICE MOVEMENT ANALYSIS
VN-Index – Hammer Candlestick Pattern Emerges
The VN-Index narrowed its decline with the emergence of a Hammer candlestick pattern, accompanied by volume surpassing the 20-day average. This suggests that market risks have temporarily eased as bottom-fishing funds entered the market.
At present, the Stochastic Oscillator indicator continues to give a buy signal after exiting the oversold region. If this signal is sustained in the upcoming sessions, the short-term outlook may not be overly pessimistic.
HNX-Index – Maintains Above Middle Bollinger Band
The HNX-Index witnessed a slight decline while staying above the Middle Bollinger Band. If the index continues to hold above this threshold in the coming days, the situation may not be overly pessimistic. Moreover, trading volume exceeded the 20-day average, indicating that money is still flowing into the market.
Presently, the Stochastic Oscillator and MACD indicators both provide buy signals. If these signals are sustained in the upcoming sessions, the risk of further declines may not be significant.
