MARKET OVERVIEW

1. Stock Market

Vietnam Market: The market declined sharply, falling below the 1,750-point level with rising liquidity, indicating significant selling pressure. This reflects short-term imbalance and correction risks; however, it may also serve as a test of capital inflows after the recent rally. Support is expected around the 1,700-point zone (MA20), with potential for a rebound.

U.S. Market: On October 17, 2025, U.S. markets closed slightly higher — S&P 500 +0.5%, Dow Jones Industrial Average +0.5%, and Nasdaq Composite +0.5%. Bank stocks stabilized, and easing U.S.–China trade tensions helped sentiment, though concerns about regional banks and liquidity remain.

2. Forex

USD/JPY: The pair remains in a strong downtrend. A short-term technical rebound is expected, creating an opportunity to open short positions. Intraday resistance: 151.700.

3. Gold

The uptrend remains intact; however, short-term momentum is weakening. There are no safe entry points today, so investors should stay on the sidelines and wait for clearer signals.

4. Oil

The dominant trend is bearish. Selling pressure continues as global supply remains stable and demand stays weak. Consider short positions in line with the prevailing trend. Intraday resistance: 60.00.

5. Crypto

The short-term downtrend remains dominant. Investors may consider selling when prices retrace to resistance zones. Intraday resistance: 113.750.
