“It shows that the money flow is moving back to support the market. With the current signal, it is likely that the market will continue to be supported and has a chance to gradually recover to the zone of 1,240 – 1,245 points,” said Việt Dragon Securities Co.
“Temporarily, this recovery will be a re-test of supply at the resistance zone. Therefore, investors need to observe and evaluate the support efforts of cash flow in the future. Temporarily they can hold stocks that are showing good signals from cash flow. However, it is necessary to consider the possibility of recovery to take profits or reduce the proportion in stocks that are experiencing weakness to minimise risks for the portfolio.”
