HNX-Index – The MACD indicator appears to be a sell signal

Analysis of Capital Flows

Fluctuations in smart money flow: The Negative Volume Index indicator of VN-Index cuts down below the EMA 20 day line. If this state continues in the next session, the risk of an unexpected drop (thrust down) will increase.
