Market Watch Feb 25: Tech Stocks Rally & Bitcoin’s Explosive Short Squeeze.

Release Time: 10:00, February 25, 2026 Issuer: Mr. Loki

MARKET OVERVIEW

1. Stock Market:

Vietnam Market: The market faced profit-taking pressure after a rapid rally but remained balanced and attempted a recovery toward the end of the session. Increased liquidity indicates rising supply as the index approached the 1,860-point zone, though cash flow continued to provide support. Sideways movement may persist due to pressure in the 1,860–1,920 range, but the market is expected to hold firm and gradually re-test supply and demand in this area.

US Market: In the February 24, 2026 session, the US market benefited from returning demand following a correction: the S&P 500 closed up ~0.8% to around 6,890 points, the Dow Jones rose ~0.8% (~+370 points), and the Nasdaq gained over 1% to ~22,860 points. This was driven by tech stocks, specifically AMD, which surged nearly 9% on news of a major AI chip contract, boosting investor sentiment.

2. Foreign Exchange (Forex):

EUR/USD: The dominant trend is bearish. Daily Resistance: 1.18360; Daily Support: 1.17400. A short position can be considered if the price breaks below the daily support zone.

AUD/USD: The dominant trend is bullish. Daily Resistance: 0.71100; Daily Support: 0.70100. A long position can be considered if the price breaks above the daily resistance zone.

3. Gold:

Performance: After a distribution phase from the peak of $5,249, Gold underwent a deep shake-out toward the support zone around $5,120 - $5,140. Here, selling pressure showed exhaustion, and the price immediately rebounded strongly, currently trading around $5,188.

Structure: A series of consecutive green candles is breaking the short-term bearish structure. The trend ribbon has turned green and started curving upward, confirming that buyers have regained control of the cash flow.

4. Oil:

WTI/USD: The dominant trend is sideways. Daily Resistance: 67.50; Daily Support: 61.90. A short position can be considered if the price breaks below the daily support zone.

5. Bitcoin:

Performance: Bitcoin just saw an explosive price action. From the panic bottom around $62,000 - $63,000, the price spiked vertically to $66,131 in a short time.

Structure: The transition was abrupt. The downward-sloping red trend ribbon was immediately bent and turned green. This unusual volatility is often the result of a "Short Squeeze"—where short sellers are forced to cover losses en masse, creating aggressive buying pressure that drives the price upward.

RECOMMENDATIONS:

AUD/USD: Buy Stop @ 0.71200 | SL: 0.70100 | TP: 0.73400


BTC: Buy Stop @ 67,200 | SL: 65,000 | TP: 73,000
