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. The RSI dipped during the early part of the
week, but managed to close higher. The indicator increased this week to 68.88 levels from 66.71
levels the week before. This indicates that the market has almost reached the overbought zone.

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. Compared to the
previous week, there were very minor changes with the MACD indicator. Both the MACD and signal
lines moved gradually upwards on a parallel note suggesting that the near term momentum has been
in the upward direction.

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. During the past week, Nepse inclined
further upwards and has touched the upper-band suggesting slight increase in market momentum. At
the same time, the upper and lower bands appear to have converged in recent times, which indicates
lower volatility.

Overview:
This past week began on a lower note with the market falling during the first two days of trading.
However, it increased during the remaining two trading days, which pushed up the market to 939.53
points – an increase of 8.56 points or 0.92%. With the country moving towards the Constitution
promulgation deadline of Magh 8, investors appear to be in a wait and watch mood hoping for
consensus among political parties. The average daily volume in the market fell this week to 24.28
crores from 28.48 crores the week before. Nepse has once again moved towards the nearest
resistance level of 938.41 points. Since August 2014, Nepse has twice failed to move past this strong
level. However, the nearest support level currently stands at 875.56 points. The RSI indicator has
inched higher to 68.88 levels moving it closer to the overbought zone. The MACD indicator shows
that the near term momentum in the market is still in the upward direction. The Bollinger Bands
suggest decreasing volatility in the market. In the present scenario, the 50-day moving average
hovering below the 200-day moving average generally represents a bearish scenario. However, if
Nepse can move past its nearest resistance level, the market may move further ahead in the upward
direction.
