5. Trend Indicator
a.) 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 and the signal line, at the beginning of last week, stood at -50.10 and -51.52 respectively. In the
course of the week, both macd and signal line increased by 4.82 and 2.66 points to close at -45.28 and -
48.86 respectively. The macd line has crossed above the signal line, which indicates a bullish trigger.
However, both the lines continue to remain in the negative territory.
b.) 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.
3. The RSI, at the beginning of last week, stood at 39.92 points, which shows that the market was moving
away from selling pressure. In the course of the week, it lost 2.34 points to end at 36.78 level. The RSI
currently gives a neutral stance.
c.) 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.
The benchmark index continues to hover between the middle and lower bollinger bands, which could
possibly show some presence of selling pressure in the market. The market remains highly volatile as the
distance between the upper and lower bands remain wide.
4. 6. Overview
The Nepse index lost 55.81 points (or down 3.51%) to close at 1544.68 last week. The index could move
sideways in days to come as nervousness and uncertainty looms over the market. The macd indicator has
