"Although there are cautious and tense developments, in general, the supply at low prices is not strong, reflected in reduced liquidity. This movement helped the market regain its upward momentum and continue to challenge the resistance zone around 1,150 points," said Việt Dragon Securities Co.
"Currently, the supply pressure at this resistance zone is cooling down, so it is likely that the market will continue to extend its recovery in the near future. However, it might be difficult for the recovery to last long because supply pressure may increase again when the market approaches a new resistance zone, such as the 1,160-1,170 point area."
"Therefore, investors need to observe and evaluate supply and demand when the market recovers. Temporarily, it is still necessary to consider the market's recovery ability to restructure the portfolio in a way that minimises risks," it said.

During the session, over 88.8 million shares were traded on the northern market, worth over VNĐ1.9 trillion.
