VN-Index rose to 1,909.01 points, up 17.81 points, or 0.94%, at the close on May 7. By contrast, the HNX-Index declined 0.7 points, or 0.28%, to 247.76 points.
The VN-Index surpassed the 1,900-point level and returned to the previous peak, supported by positive performance from large-cap stocks. Market participants may see more volatility and corrections as the index remains elevated amid limited supportive information, while stock groups continue to diverge based on company-specific news.
Investors are also weighing partial profit-taking on short-term positions as the market approaches the historic peak.
For trading purchases, the suggested approach is to focus on T+ gains and stocks that had fallen sharply previously across sectors including real estate, securities, oil & gas, fertilizers, steel, and ports.
In the short term, the market may fluctuate in the 1,900–1,920 range. SHS said the near-term trend remains up, supported by large-cap stocks, with VN-Index targeting the historic peak area around 1,900–1,920 and VN30 aiming for 2,100–2,120. SHS also noted there is no forecast that VN-Index will break above this resistance, with indicators pointing to short-term overbought conditions and rising selling pressure.
TVS expects the uptrend to continue in coming sessions, driven by Vingroup stocks (VIC, VHM) and banks. TVS cited improving liquidity and recovering investor sentiment, and said the index could target around 1,940–1,950 in the near term.
YSVN said market psychology is improving but not yet overly bullish. It suggested a strategy of holding existing positions and limiting new purchases, while monitoring the 1,920 level for portfolio rebalancing.
VCBS stated VN-Index finished above 1,900 on strong demand. It added that on the daily chart, RSI remains in an uptrend and MACD is also pointing up, although the distance between MACD lines has narrowed. Intraday, VCBS noted the index touched the upper Bollinger Band but did not close above the price channel, implying limited upside in the immediate term.
VCSC expects the uptrend to persist with momentum still present, with resistance near 1,950 and support near 1,880.
SSI projected continued breakout, targeting 1,920–1,960 in subsequent sessions, and raised nearby support to 1,880–1,890.
