Investment Comments
BOS Securities: Technically, VN-Index fell sharply through the support of MA10 at the 1,030-1,040 zone, showing that the short-term trend continues to be bearish.
Weak demand shows that cash flow is not strong enough to absorb the selling supply, causing a series of midcap stocks to hit the floor, further proving that large investors are still staying out of the market. The index is forecast to continue its downward trend in the coming sessions. Investors are advised to continue to keep a high cash ratio and not participate in bottom fishing.
VCBS Securities: From a technical perspective, the VN-Index closed the session forming a red candlestick, wiping out all the recovery efforts of the previous week and returning to the previous bottom at 1,120 points. At the same time, the index also failed to surpass the MA20. Thus, the probability of active selling liquidity increasing sharply in the coming sessions and pushing the index to continue its downward trend should be taken into account. The nearest support levels are currently the 1,100 point and 1,050 point zones.
VCBS recommends that investors proactively reduce their portfolios and restructure stocks by replacing stocks that have returned to a downtrend in the session of October 17 or have not yet escaped the downtrend with stocks in industry groups that are still in an accumulation price range and have fundamental factors such as banking, electricity, consumer goods, and should only maintain a stock ratio of 20-30%.
Phu Hung Securities: From a technical perspective, the VN-Index had its second consecutive session of decline. Trading volume dropped below the 10- and 20-session averages, implying that cash flow is quite cautious. Not only that, the index appeared a long, concentrated bearish candle and maintained a closing price below MA5, along with MA20 remaining in a negative downward trend, indicating that the short-term downtrend is strengthening.
Overall, the market is in a short-term downtrend after the session on October 17. Therefore, investors should keep their portfolio proportions at a safe level. In particular, holding positions should only prioritize stocks with good fundamentals, positive business growth in the third quarter and attracting strong cash flow.
