"After strong fluctuations, market movements are slowing down with mixed good and bad signals. It is expected that the exploration struggle will continue in the near future with the fluctuating area of 1,090-1,120 points before there is a specific signal," said Việt Dragon Securities Co.
"However, temporarily, it is still necessary to note the resistance pressure from the MA(200) area, around 1,115 points.

Currently, it is possible to take advantage of the market's ability to increase to take profits or restructure the portfolio."
