VN-Index "shakes" on the way to the peak of 1,600 points

According to Mr. Bui Ngoc Trung, consultant, Mirae Asset Securities , today's trading session recorded a new record in liquidity, an unprecedented number in the 25 years of the Vietnamese stock market. Despite the strong increase in the morning session, this afternoon's action shows short-term profit-taking after a good recovery.

This development is somewhat similar to the session on July 29 (1 week before) when the selling force was strong with a synchronous decrease, and it was also the session that set a record for liquidity before, reaching the 72,000 billion VND mark. However, in essence, today's session is somewhat different and more inclined towards buying, although the selling force is also quite large.

Liquidity reached a new record of VND 78,122 billion, showing that cash flow is still maintained at a very high level in the market and helping the market quickly balance after a one-way sell-off. However, the current price range may have more unexpected developments with a "shaking" momentum when VN-Index is approaching a new, larger peak such as 1,600 points.

It can be said that today's "shake" is an inevitable reaction after a series of hot increases, helping to cool down the margin and create opportunities to restructure the portfolio when the market approaches higher scores and the "profit-taking" psychology increases. However, the adjustment will be short-term because the market cash flow is still maintained at a high level and there are still good growth opportunities while Vietnam is still in the context of low interest rates, the room for growth in credit and public investment is still being promoted, in addition to the prospect of upgrading the market is approaching.

Therefore, at this time, investors need to avoid the psychology of chasing stocks that are increasing strongly during the session.

In addition, some other experts believe that although VN-Index is continuing to increase, the number of stocks tending to increase is not as much as the previous peak. Therefore, this is not the time to integrate and disburse for short-term goals, investors need to act cautiously, combining holding good positions and selectively looking for new opportunities.
