Markets in Consolidation – Global Capital Pauses Before the Next Move
Release Time: 10:00, October 22, 2025
Issued by: Mr. Leon

MARKET OVERVIEW

1. Stock Market

• Vietnam Market:
  The VN-Index moved narrowly within the 1,660–1,670 zone.
  Outlook: Market liquidity remains cautious. The 1,650-point level is an important support area — if it holds, a short-term rebound may occur. A breakdown below this zone could trigger a broader correction.

• U.S. Market:
  After a strong rally, major U.S. indices are entering a technical consolidation phase.
  Outlook: The market may pause ahead of the next move. Bond yields and the Federal Reserve’s interest rate policies remain the key drivers to watch.

2. Forex Market

• USD/JPY (UJ):
  Trading around 151.85 JPY/USD.
  Outlook: The USD remains strong, but momentum is slowing as markets begin to factor in potential intervention from the Bank of Japan (BOJ).

• GBP/USD (GU):
  The pound remains under pressure amid a stronger U.S. dollar.
  Outlook: The 1.34 support zone is being tested — if broken, the pair may extend losses toward 1.33. The short-term bias remains bearish.

3. Gold (XAU/USD):

• Gold has slightly rebounded after a sharp pullback, currently around US $4,146/oz.

• Outlook: Safe-haven demand remains robust. However, unless gold breaks above the $4,150–4,200 resistance area, a short-term correction could occur before resuming the uptrend.

4. Crude Oil (XTI/USD):

• Prices are stable around US $62/barrel, supported by expectations of recovering demand and controlled supply.

• Outlook: Oil could see mild upside as long as supply remains stable, but volatility risks persist if OPEC+ production or global demand changes.

5. Bitcoin (BTC):

• BTC trades near US $108,000, showing signs of a slowing recovery.

• Outlook: The medium-term uptrend remains possible if BTC can break decisively above the $115,000 resistance level. Until then, traders should watch for strong confirmation signals before entering new positions.
