MARKET OVERVIEW

1. Stock Market:

• Vietnam Market: The market continues to test the resistance zone of 1,900 – 1,920 points. However, a cautious sentiment prevails with decreasing liquidity, indicating a slowdown in cash flow as investors prioritize observation, despite slight spillover in mid-cap and small-cap groups. While weakening pressure appeared at the resistance zone, the index remained balanced above the MA(10). In the short term, the market is likely to continue struggling and testing supply-demand around the MA(10); signals at this level will determine the next trend.

• US Market: On January 22, Wall Street continued to recover strongly after a previous correction. Investor sentiment improved following signs of easing political tensions. The S&P 500 rose ~0.5% to ~6,913.35, the Dow Jones increased ~0.6% to ~49,384.01, and the Nasdaq Composite climbed ~0.9% to ~23,436.02, led by tech stocks and small-cap groups. This reflects cash flow returning to the market as tariff concerns ease and optimism grows regarding short-term economic prospects.

2. Foreign Exchange (Forex):

• USD/CHF: The primary trend is bearish. Daily Resistance: 0.79700; Daily Support: 0.78800. Consider a Buy position if the price breaks above the daily resistance.

• GBP/USD: The primary trend is bullish. Daily Resistance: 1.35000; Daily Support: 1.34000. Consider a Buy position if the price breaks above the daily resistance.

3. Gold: Developments: True to its nature, after yesterday's "shake-out" to $4,750, Gold performed a classic "V-Shape" recovery. Prices not only regained all losses but also broke all records, currently trading at $4,949. Structure: The trend ribbon has turned green and expanded upward, reflecting peak FOMO buying pressure. Short sellers were almost entirely "wiped out" (stop run) during this surge. The $5,000 milestone is now just a few steps away.

4. Oil: XTI/USD: The primary trend is bullish. Daily Resistance: 60.80; Daily Support: 59.00. Consider a Buy position if the price breaks above the daily resistance.

5. Bitcoin: Developments: In stark contrast to Gold’s rally, BTC remains sluggish, moving sideways in a narrow range around $89,876. Structure: The trend ribbon is contracting and frequently switching between green and red, indicating extreme indecision. Price is attempting to build a foundation around the $89,000 - $89,300 zone.

RECOMMENDATION:

• BTC: Buy at 89,790 | Stop Loss: 88,330 | Take Profit: 92,830
