“Vietstock Weekly: Uptrend Persists, Setting the Tone for a Bullish Week Ahead”
The VN-Index continued its upward trajectory, maintaining its positive momentum since crossing above the 200-week SMA.

Should the VN-Index sustain levels above this threshold in the coming weeks, it could potentially pave the way for a revisit to the March 2025 highs of 1,320-1,340 points. This zone also coincides with the highest peak since May 2022.
