The Stock Market: A Hesitant Stumble
The VN-Index recovered thanks to the upward pull of several pillar stocks, closing today’s session (June 18th) near the reference level. Despite this, the broader market remained starkly polarized and struggled to breach previous peak levels.
Stock Market Shake-up: Navigating the Old Peak
The VN-Index narrowed its upward trajectory and struggled to surpass the peak formed in late May 2025 (1,330-1,350 points). Moreover, trading volume remained below the 20-day average, indicating investor caution. In the upcoming sessions, the index needs to climb above this threshold to sustain its short-term bullish trend. Currently, the MACD indicator is pointing upward, providing a buy signal. If this stance persists in the forthcoming sessions, the positive outlook will be reinforced.
