– The market returned to a state of divergence during the November 13 session. The VN-Index primarily fluctuated within a narrow range for most of the trading period. Selling pressure was evident among blue-chip stocks, making it challenging for the index to break through. However, increased buying interest in mid-cap and small-cap stocks, particularly in the energy, chemical, and fertilizer sectors, partially offset the gap created by the weakness in blue-chip stocks, helping the market maintain a relatively balanced trading rhythm. At the close, the VN-Index ended just below the reference level at 1,631.44 points.
– In terms of influence, the pull and resistance forces were balanced, with the top 10 positively contributing stocks adding 5 points to the VN-Index, while the top 10 negatively impacting stocks subtracted an equivalent number of points. GEE, VNM, and DGC led the positive side, while STB, HPG, and FPT were significant drags on the other end.

On the positive side, DGC stood out as the most prominent performer, hitting its upper limit right from the opening, followed by VNM with an impressive 3.3% gain. Conversely, STB, VRE, and TPB had a less favorable session, facing adjustment pressures of over 2%.

The VN-Index experienced a slight adjustment with a small-bodied candlestick pattern, accompanied by trading volume remaining below the 20-day average, indicating investor hesitation. The Stochastic Oscillator has given a buy signal in the oversold region. If this buy signal continues and exits this region in the upcoming sessions, the short-term outlook will be more positive.

VN-Index – Stochastic Oscillator Gives Buy Signal
The VN-Index experienced a slight adjustment with a small-bodied candlestick pattern, accompanied by trading volume remaining below the 20-day average, indicating investor hesitation.
The Stochastic Oscillator has given a buy signal in the oversold region. If this buy signal continues and exits this region in the upcoming sessions, the short-term outlook will be more positive.

HNX-Index – Breaks Above the Middle Band of Bollinger Bands
The HNX-Index recovered for the third consecutive session, breaking above the Middle Band of the Bollinger Bands.
Currently, the MACD indicator has given a buy signal. If the Stochastic Oscillator also provides a similar signal in the upcoming sessions, the situation will become even more positive.
Cash Flow Analysis
Smart Money Flow: The Negative Volume Index of the VN-Index has crossed below the 20-day EMA. If this condition persists in the next session, the risk of a sudden downturn (thrust down) may increase.
Foreign Investor Cash Flow: Foreign investors continued their net selling during the November 13, 2025 trading session. If foreign investors maintain this action in the upcoming sessions, market volatility may emerge.
