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 stood at 25.53 and 26.98 respectively, at the beginning of last week. The
macd line moving below the signal line indicates a bearish signal. However, in the course of the week, the
macd line moved above the signal line, triggering a bullish trend. Towards the end of the week, the macd
and the signal line ended at 28.75 and 27.95 respectively.
3. 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.
The RSI at the beginning of the week stood at 78.14 points. In the course of the week the RSI fell by 6.55
points to end at 71.59 level. The RSI indicator still shows a presence of over-bought condition, as well as
strong bullish sentiment in the market.
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 is hovering close to the upper Bollinger band, which signifies high buying pressure
in the market. The upper and lower bands show signs of divergence, which could increase the market
volatility.
4. 6. Volume Indicator (On-Balance Volume)
On-Balance Volume (OBV) is a momentum indicator that relates volume to the current price of the index
or security. It measures buying and selling pressure at the market. It acts as a cumulative indicator that
adds volume on up days and subtracts volume on down days. If a price increase is supported by OBV, it
confirms an uptrend, whereas if a price decrease is supported by OBV, it confirms a downtrend.
The On-Balance Volume (OBV) continued its steep rise along with the rise witnessed by Nepse. This rise
in OBV supports the bullish momentum in the market. The average weekly volume transactions stood at a
staggering NPR 143.47 from NPR 86.11 crores the week prior. The turnover on Tuesday of last week
stood at 1.6 arba, which is the highest in history.

condition looks good. The macd line is moving above the signal line, indicating a bullish trigger.
The RSI ended at 71.59 level, which still show high buying pressure in the market. The Bollinger bands
signal overbought condition as the index is moving close to the upper band. The bands also indicate a possible
increase in market volatility as the upper and lower bands has diverged. The new support and resistance level
stands at 1463 and 1600 respectively.
