MARKET OVERVIEW

1. Stock Market

• Vietnam Market:
  The market is currently in a state of hesitation after facing profit-taking pressure around the 1,330-point area. The decline in liquidity indicates that both buyers and sellers are observing and waiting. The market is expected to find support if it pulls back, and thanks to the prior upward momentum, it may recover and continue testing the 1,320 – 1,340 range. Investors can expect some support but should closely monitor supply and demand dynamics. For stocks that have already surged to resistance zones or shown weakness from those levels, short-term profit-taking should be considered. Avoid chasing high prices; instead, prioritize stocks with good base accumulation or those that have just corrected to support levels.

• U.S. Market:
  The S&P 500 fell 0.67% to 5,802.62 points, while the Dow Jones dropped 0.6% to 41,603.07 points. The 10-year U.S. Treasury yield dipped below 4.5%, reflecting increased risk aversion among investors.

2. Forex

• EUR/USD:
  Uptrend. Look for a pullback to enter long positions.

• USD/JPY:
  Downtrend. Look for a rebound to enter short positions.

3. Gold

• Spot Gold Price:
  Trading around $3,297/ounce, slightly lower than the previous session.

• Reason:
  Gold prices have eased slightly due to profit-taking activity after reaching recent highs.

4. Oil

• XTI/USD:
  Uptrend. A breakout above the 62.00 resistance level could provide an opportunity for long positions.

5. Crypto: BTC

• BTC/USD Price:
  Currently trading around $111,451, up 1.4% in the past 24 hours.

• Market Sentiment:
  Bitcoin continues its upward trend, reaching a new all-time high, driven by a recovery in the crypto market and optimistic investor sentiment.
