Significant profit-taking pressure

MARKET OUTLOOK
VN-Index corrected by over 12 points today, closing at 1,485.05. Market breadth tilted to the negative side with 12 out of 18 sectors declining, led by a sharp pullback in the Real Estate sector after a prolonged rally. On the other hand, the Media sector led the gains. Regarding foreign trading, net buying was recorded on the HSX and HNX, while net selling occurred on UPCOM. The appearance of a bearish engulfing candlestick pattern suggests profit-taking sentiment after the index surpassed the 1,500 mark. In the coming sessions, the VN-Index may continue its downward momentum, potentially retracing to the 1,455–1,475 zone.
