The February 11 gains were quite positive, as the rally spread to a wide range of sectors. However, analysts from the BIDV Securities Company do not expect a breakthrough, because liquidity is still low.

They advocated that investors should sell shares for short-term trading purposes, as indices are hovering near resistance levels.-VNA
