Investment Ideas: In the coming week, we recommend that investors observe the market from the sidelines and avoid trying to catch the bottom, as the risk of further decline remains high. Stick to the discipline of selling stocks that violate the MA 20 and MA 50. However, with this downward trend, many stock prices are becoming more attractive for investment. Additional observation is needed to find safe buying opportunities, as the market will need time to consolidate before a potential return of upward momentum. We expect the end of September to be a period where stocks prepare for a resurgence, with a more positive outlook for year-end financial results.
