“It is expected that the market will be supported and recover in the next trading session. In general, the current recovery span is exploratory and testing supply and demand at the resistance zone of 1,240 – 1,245 points. Therefore, investors need to observe and evaluate the support efforts of cash flow in the coming time. They temporarily 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,” Việt Dragon Securities Co said.
