MARKET OVERVIEW

1. Stock Market:

  • Vietnam Market:
    The market continued its recovery after the Dragonfly Doji signal on April 22, 2025. Decreased liquidity indicates reduced selling pressure and ongoing supportive cash flow. Although some volatility may occur around the MA(20) zone – 1,230 points, the recent two-day rebound strengthens the uptrend, with expectations of continued recovery in the near term.

  • U.S. Market:
    U.S. stock markets continued their strong rally for the third consecutive session on April 24, 2025, driven by positive earnings reports from major corporations and expectations of stable monetary policy.

    • Dow Jones rose 1.2% to 40,093.40 points

    • S&P 500 gained 2% to 5,484.77 points

    • Nasdaq increased 2.7% to 17,166.04 points

Leading the gains were tech stocks such as Salesforce, Intel, and Nvidia, while IBM and Procter & Gamble declined due to underwhelming earnings results. Investors remain cautious due to ongoing U.S.-China trade tensions and potential new tariffs.

  • EUR/USD: Downtrend – Consider short positions.

    • Daily resistance: 1.13800
