6PM Call: The 1,000-point psychological level

The cash flow witnessed the bottom-fishing actions, waiting for the recovery. However, the price trend has not improved and caused investors to fear buying high-price areas. Therefore, the market has not yet confirmed the rescue and still faces a profound downside risk. If the support level around 1,000 +/- 10 points cannot boost VN-Index to rebound, the index may need to return to the support zone around 970.

Market's downtrend was restrained and created a support signal when VN-Index and VN30-Index retreated to near the support area of ​​1,000 points. The current recovery is still a technical span to test supply and demand and the VN-Index's 1,060 – 1,073 points decrease Gap may still put pressure on the market.
