Technical Signals of the VN-Index

During the morning trading session on January 23, 2026, the VN-Index continued to fluctuate. However, the MACD indicator’s sell signal may serve as an early warning for a short-term correction.

That said, trading volume consistently remains above the 20-day average, suggesting a deep decline is unlikely.

Technical Signals of the HNX-Index

During the morning trading session on January 23, 2026, the HNX-Index unexpectedly adjusted but remains above the Middle Band of the Bollinger Bands.

The author maintains the view that the index will soon reach the price target of the Falling Wedge pattern (equivalent to the 266-268 point range).

VCI – Vietcap Securities Corporation

The share price of VCI continued to rise during the morning trading session on January 23, 2026, accompanied by trading volume exceeding the 20-session average, reflecting investor optimism.

Currently, VCI’s price has surpassed the 23.6% Fibonacci Retracement level (equivalent to the 36,000-36,500 range) and is closely following the Upper Band of the Bollinger Bands, indicating that recovery prospects remain favorable.

Additionally, the MACD indicator has consistently formed higher highs and higher lows (Higher High, Higher Low) and has risen above the zero line after generating a buy signal, further supporting the short-term upward trend.

VTP – Viettel Post Corporation

During the morning trading session on January 23, 2026, VTP’s share price declined for the third consecutive session, accompanied by a Big Black Candle pattern, indicating less optimistic investor sentiment.

Currently, VTP’s price remains above the Middle Band of the Bollinger Bands, suggesting that positive prospects still exist.

However, the Stochastic Oscillator continues to decline after generating a sell signal and falling out of the overbought zone, increasing the risk of short-term correction. If the downward trend persists, the Middle Band will serve as a support level for VTP in upcoming sessions.
