Don't panic sell

Investment Comments

KB Securities Vietnam (KBSV) : Although the uptrend is still being maintained and the opportunity for recovery is still open, the weakening of demand and the lack of a leading group will cause the probability of VN-Index surpassing the peak to decrease and the risk of reversal to increase.

Investors are advised to avoid chasing during recovery sessions, can sell to take profits in parts and reduce the proportion of trading positions when the index approaches the next resistance zone around 1,300 (+/-10 points).

Vietcombank Securities (VCBS) : In a positive scenario, VN-Index will continue to trade sideways with an amplitude of 40 points and this strong decline can be considered an ST session (secondary test) in a flat correction wave.

Investors should be cautious and not panic and sell stocks in strong sessions like March 18. Investors should take advantage of the opportunity to disburse stocks in sectors that are still attracting stable cash flow and maintaining support areas such as real estate, banking, and securities.

BIDV Securities (BSC) : In the coming sessions, VN-Index may trade in the range of 1,220 - 1,245 points. Investors can watch this adjustment to restructure their portfolios.
