Entering trading on April 9, market sentiment quickly shifted from an aggressive stance to a defensive one. Despite positive news about an upgrade earlier, the shadow from the Middle East conflict remained complex, prompting domestic investors to realize profits to protect capital.
Selling pressure broadened across sectors, pulling the market red. By the close, the VN-Index fell 19.87 points (about -1.13%), ending at 1,736.68. Liquidity on HOSE remained solid with total traded value over 25.2 trillion VND, corresponding to more than 1 billion shares changing hands.
Foreign investors contributed to the downturn, continuing to net-sell heavily. On HOSE, they recorded net selling of 2,212.70 billion VND (they bought 2,704.86 billion but sold 4,917.56 billion).

Experts expect the genuine “buy signal” to appear only in the breakout phase after stocks have consolidated enough. The strategy is to catch the strongest surge in a stock’s rally. In the early stage of the new wave, investors may see relatively few safe buying signals, so analysts advised patience—avoiding rushing to buy at the bottom and instead waiting for stocks to accumulate enough groundwork for upcoming entry points.

Long-term memberships are shrinking, margins are pressured by higher rents and facility expenses, and competition from smaller, more personalized…
