The VN-Index is showing signs of a healthy correction as it consolidates, with several securities firms pointing to profit-taking pressure and uneven liquidity across sectors. The overall view remains constructive, but investors are advised to manage risk and deploy capital selectively.
Yuanta Vietnam said the VN-Index corrected with increased liquidity, indicating that profit-taking pressure dominated the session. Despite the pullback, the index remains above the MA5 at 1,820 points. Yuanta expects the current move to be a healthy correction before the index targets higher levels, with the nearest resistance at 1,877.
Beta Securities described the market as a tug-of-war between buyers and short-term profit-taking, with cautious sentiment gaining ground. The lack of broad consensus and the market’s reliance on heavyweight stocks were cited as factors that could make the rally harder to sustain.
Tien Phong Securities (TPS) noted that at the close on 21/04, selling pressure rose as the VN-Index approached resistance near 1,860–1,870, while liquidity increased, suggesting substantial selling pressure. VCBS similarly reported profit-taking pressure across many sectors on 21/04, causing the index to oscillate around 1,860.
Beta Securities warned that if leading names weaken, the index could quickly lose positive momentum and face unexpected corrections. The firm recommended deploying capital selectively and focusing on stocks with solid consolidation bases, rather than rushing to buy amid short-term risk.
TPS highlighted notable support zones at 1,740 and deeper at 1,668. The firm characterized the expected correction as technical and healthy within an uptrend.
VCBS added that money flow was uneven across stocks, linked to Q1 2026 earnings and AGM updates, contributing to the market’s mixed performance and oscillation around 1,860.
Yuanta Vietnam suggested investors may consider buying stocks in uptrends that have corrected during the session, prioritizing sectors leading the market such as banks, real estate, and retail.
TPS advised a strategy that leans toward proactive defense without pessimism. It recommended observing market reactions at key support levels; if demand clearly emerges, investors could consider partial buying at moderate weights.
VCBS recommended caution when opening new positions. Instead of new buying, it suggested leveraging dips for short-term trading in stocks investors already hold.
