According to experts at Vietcombank Securities Company, given the current market developments, investors can take advantage of intraday rallies in the index to proactively take partial profits on stocks that have reached their profit targets.

For new purchases, investors should avoid chasing stocks that have already experienced a long breakout or are approaching strong resistance levels, to guard against potential market volatility.

Furthermore, it is also necessary to pay attention to the strong divergence in the market in recent sessions in order to proactively restructure portfolios and replace stocks whose trends have weakened with stocks that are receiving attention from investors during this period.

According to experts at AIS Securities Company, the VN-Index rose for the fifth consecutive session and closed firmly above 1,800 points. However, the market still appears "green on the outside, red underneath" as the number of declining stocks predominates, and the main driving force remains the Vingroup group.

In today's trading sessions, the market may experience some fluctuations and short-term consolidation, with the strongest support level being the 1,690 - 1,700 point range (around the 20-day moving average).

Investors are holding stocks with strong fundamentals and promising earnings growth prospects during the Q1 2026 earnings reporting season and shareholder meetings.
