– The market experienced strong fluctuations during the August 13 session. The VN-Index opened with a gain of over 7 points, but buying power could not be maintained for long. Profit-taking pressure gradually increased, causing the index to reverse and even dip below the 1,590-point level by the end of the morning session. The strong recovery scenario in the afternoon session repeated once more. The VN-Index gradually regained its losses and closed at 1,611.6 points, up 0.21% from the previous session.
– In terms of impact, MBB and CTG were the leading stocks, contributing nearly 4.5 points to the VN-Index. They were followed by MSN, LPB, and BVH, which added another 2.4 points to the overall gain. On the other hand, VPB was the most negative stock, causing the index to lose 1.4 points.
– The VN30-Index closed slightly lower by 0.09%, settling at 1,753.71 points. The basket showed a mixed performance, with 16 declining stocks, 11 advancing stocks, and 3 stocks remaining unchanged.

Conversely, VPB, SSB, and FPT witnessed corrections, falling by more than 2%.

In contrast, information technology was the worst-performing sector, declining by 1.64%. However, this decrease was mainly due to the sector’s largest stock by market capitalization, FPT (-2.23%).

The HNX-Index surged strongly towards the end of the session, marking its sixth consecutive gaining session.
The Stochastic Oscillator and MACD indicators continue to move upward after generating buy signals, reinforcing the short-term uptrend. If these signals are sustained, the index could target the old peak of August 2022 (corresponding to the 295-305-point region) in the coming period.
Money Flow Analysis
Movement of smart money: The Negative Volume Index of the VN-Index is currently above the 20-day EMA. If this status quo is maintained in the next session, the risk of an unexpected downturn (thrust down) will be mitigated.
Foreign capital flow: Foreign investors continued to net sell in the trading session on August 13, 2025. If this trend persists in the coming sessions, the situation may turn more pessimistic.
