MARKET OVERVIEW 1. Stock Market:

• Vietnam Market: The market continues to recover, approaching the 1,800-point mark. Liquidity has improved slightly, showing increased profit-taking pressure as the 2025 fiscal year ends, but it hasn't created significant stress yet. The index is entering a critical resistance zone of 1,750–1,800 points—a short-term peak area over the last three months where supply is expected to rise and clash with supporting cash flows. Supply-demand dynamics in this zone will be key to determining the next trend.

• US Market: On the first trading day of 2026, Wall Street started on a slightly positive note as major indices adjusted after the holidays. The S&P 500 rose ~0.2% to 6,858.47, the Dow Jones increased ~0.66% to 48,382.39, while the Nasdaq Composite edged down ~0.03% to 23,235.63 due to pressure on Big Tech amid low liquidity. The session reflected cautious sentiment but maintained momentum from semiconductor and industrial stocks.

2. Foreign Exchange (Forex):

• USD/CHF: Primary trend is bullish. Daily Resistance: 0.79300; Daily Support: 0.79000. Consider a Long position if the price breaks above daily resistance.

• NZD/USD: Primary trend is bearish. Daily Resistance: 0.58000; Daily Support: 0.57600. Consider a Short position if the price breaks below daily support.

3. Gold:

• Movement: Matching BTC’s momentum, Gold saw an impressive recovery, climbing to $4,394.

• Structure: Price has escaped the "muddy" bottom zone and is now sitting firmly above the EMA support cluster. The short-term EMA has crossed up, confirming a shift from Bearish to Bullish in the short term.

4. Oil:

• XTI/USD: Primary trend is bearish. Daily Resistance: 57.90; Daily Support: 56.80. Consider a Long position if the price breaks above daily resistance.

5. Bitcoin:

• Movement: BTC executed an unstoppable parabolic move. A massive green candle surged from $90k to near $92,862.

• Structure: Bulls are displaying absolute dominance. Price has extended far beyond the EMA supports, indicating extreme market FOMO. Previous resistance zones have been completely shattered.
