In contrast to the previous gloomy trading session with a slight adjustment in points and a sharp decrease in liquidity, trading was more active in the session on February 19. VN-Index started with a cautious sentiment, although it sometimes approached the important resistance level but did not have enough momentum to break out. Investor sentiment was cautious as tomorrow will be the expiration date of VN30 Index Futures Contract.

However, after a period of cautious trading at the beginning of the session, cash flow gradually changed positively when some groups of stocks increased sharply, creating a spillover effect and helping the index overcome the resistance level after many previous failures.

In the afternoon session, trading continued to be active and the market's upward momentum was maintained quite firmly. The VN-Index even closed at the session's highest level.

Market liquidity has also improved, especially in the mid- and small-cap stocks, showing that cash flow is shifting to stocks with larger fluctuation ranges. Meanwhile, large-cap stocks, although not yet really booming, still play a role in keeping the market in tune. Divergence continues to occur. However, the overall trend is still positive as green dominates.

At the end of the trading session, VN-Index increased by 10.42 points (0.82%) to 1,288.56 points. HNX-Index increased by 1.95 points (0.83%) to 237.79 points. UPCoM-Index unexpectedly decreased by 0.17 points (-0.17%) to 99.34 points.

All three exchanges had 533 stocks increasing while only 253 stocks decreased. The number of stocks that remained unchanged and were not traded was 767. The entire market recorded 50 stocks hitting the ceiling while only 8 stocks hit the floor.
