News about technical analysis

This technical analysis is based on real-time data up to the close of the October 17, 2026 morning session, showing VN-Index still choppy, with morning volume rising and signaling investor hesitation. The index is retesting its August 2026 low zone of 1,715–1,735 points, which had been broken earlier, while hugging the Lower Band of the Bollinger Bands and MACD staying weak below zero. For HNX-Index, the index is moving sideways with a High Wave Candle, sits below the Bollinger Bands' Middle Band, and its Stochastic Oscillator is crossing down through the signal line. The article sees the short-term outlook as still negative, with risks rising if these indicators weaken further, and notes the signals are for reference only.

MBS says the VN-Index has fallen for four consecutive weeks under pressure from unfavorable seasonality, high interest rates and weakening cash flow. Indonesia's experience shows that transparency, foreign ownership limit (FOL) and liquidity issues can lead to MSCI reclassification and ETF selling pressure. After FTSE Russell upgraded Vietnam to Secondary Emerging Market status, MBS sees maintaining those standards over the long term as harder than meeting them, so institutional and governance reforms must continue. Over the past 10 years the VN-Index has averaged a decline of over 2% in October, and it fell in each October from 2022 to 2025. MBS views the 1,650-point July bottom as notable support and recommends changing trading strategy rather than chasing sector-wide rallies.
