MARKET OVERVIEW

  1. Stock Market

  • Vietnam Market: The market is fluctuating around the 1,635-point level with declining liquidity, indicating that selling pressure has temporarily cooled down, though support flows remain cautious. The current rebound mainly serves as a test of supply pressure near the MA(20), which has become a short-term resistance zone. For the market to regain balance and return to an uptrend, stronger capital inflows are needed to absorb supply and sustain above MA(20).

  • U.S. Market: On September 23, U.S. markets saw a mild correction after consecutive record highs, with the S&P 500 down ~0.6%, Nasdaq losing ~0.9%, and Dow Jones sliding ~0.2%. The main driver was selling pressure in the tech sector, as Nvidia fell ~2.8% after its prior surge. Fed Chair Powell warned that markets are at elevated valuations and did not provide clear signals on when rate cuts might occur.

  1. Forex

  • USD/JPY: Uptrend. Long positions can be considered today. Daily support: 147.500

  • GBP/USD: Downtrend. Short positions can be considered today. Daily resistance: 1.35300

  1. Gold

Gold reached a new all-time high, with spot prices touching ~$3,753.25/oz (+0.2%). December gold futures also gained ~0.3% to ~$3,787.40/oz. The main reasons: rising expectations of Fed rate cuts and a weaker USD, boosting gold’s appeal as a safe-haven asset.

  1. Oil

  • XTI/USD: Uptrend. Long positions can be considered today. Daily support: 62.20

  1. Crypto

BTC is trading below $113,000 amid strong selling pressure, with liquidations of ~$1.5 billion triggered after breaking key technical levels. Technical forecasts suggest that if BTC weakens further, the $106,000 level could act as major resistance, especially if sellers exploit minor rebounds. Analysts also warn that a 5% drop could trigger as much as $12.5 billion in liquidations across derivatives markets.
