Stock Market Update for July 28 – August 1, 2025: Navigating Foreign Outflows
The VN-Index witnessed a decline during the week’s final session, concluding the week’s trading below the 1,500-point mark. Despite the medium-term uptrend remaining technically intact, the index’s failure to hold the crucial psychological support level, coupled with sustained foreign net selling pressure, presents notable signals for investors. Should this trend persist, further market adjustments are likely on the horizon.

Stock Market Insights: Can the Uptrend Persist?
The VN-Index showcases a near-Doji candle pattern, with liquidity maintained above the 20-session average, indicating investor indecision. In the short term, the index is likely to retest the historical peak around the 1,530-point level. However, investors should be cautious of potential volatility at higher price levels, as the Stochastic Oscillator indicator weakens in the overbought territory.
Market Beat: Foreigners Turn Net Buyers, VN-Index Holds Firm at 1,510 Points
The trading session concluded with the VN-Index climbing 2.77 points (+0.18%), reaching 1,512.31. Meanwhile, the HNX-Index witnessed a rise of 1.48 points (+0.6%), ending the day at 249.33.

The Market Breakthrough
The VN-Index soared to new heights, surpassing its previous record peak set in early 2022. Impressive liquidity has been sustained, with average volumes over the past 20 weeks reflecting a strong influx of capital into the market. The MACD indicator continues to widen the gap with the Signal line since the buy signal emerged in mid-May 2025, reinforcing the upward momentum in the medium term. However, the Stochastic Oscillator has begun to level off in the overbought region, suggesting a potential for technical corrections at elevated price levels in the coming weeks.
