2. 3. RSI
RSI is a form of leading indicator that is believed to be most effective during periods of sideways
movement. Such indicators may create numerous buy and sell signals that are useful when the market
is not clearly trending upwards or downwards.
RSI fell below the 30 level during the beginning of the week, reaching at 29.41 level, indicating a
strong buy signal. RSI, at the beginning of the week, was 31.01. However, by the end of the week, the
level moved up to 33.86. If the RSI continues to ascend, it will be at a neutral state.

4. MACD
The MACD is a momentum oscillator formed by using two different types of moving averages, which
provides specific buying or selling signals. When a MACD line crosses above the signal line, it is
considered to be a positive sign and indicates a time to buy, and vice-versa.
The MACD line is still below the signal line, continuing its downward momentum. Both the lines are
at negative territory. MACD at the end of last week stands at -8.57 and Signal Line at -5.81. Both the
lines seem to be moving close together. If the MACD line crosses above the signal line, it would
indicate a buy trigger.

5. Bollinger Bands
The Bollinger Band is a technical indicator that consists of a moving average (21-day) along with two
trading bands above (upper band) and below it (lower band). The bands are an indication of volatility,
which are represented by calculating standard deviation.
3. The NEPSE index experienced several swings last week. The index touched the lower band during the
start of the week. However by the end of the week, it moved up between the mid and lower bands. The
upper and the lower bands appear to be diverging. This indicates an increase in volatility in the market.
Bollinger Bands (Jan 01, 2014 – Apr 2, 2015)
Overview:
NEPSE ended in the green last week as it closed higher by a meager 0.55 points (or 0.06%) to end at
940.09 points. Nepse faced frequent swings throughout the week. It closed slightly lower than the
week’s average of 941.35. The average daily market volume decreased last week to NPR 13.43 crores
from NPR 21.09 crores the week prior. A likely explanation for this decrease in volume is because of
lack of capital liquidity in the market due to large number of IPOs. The 50-day moving average is still
increasing at a higher rate above the 200-day moving average suggesting that the overall view of the
market remains positive. The RSI fell below the 30-levels at the beginning of the week, signifying
buy-sign. However, currently it’s at a neutral zone, standing at 33.86 level. The MACD line is moving
close with the signal line and is still at the negative territory. If MACD moves above the signal line, it
will trigger a buy sign. The upper and lower Bollinger Bands appears to be diverging, suggesting
increase in market volatility. Nepse’s support and resistance level stands the same at 938.41 and
972.17 points respectively.
