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 -48.68 and -48.39 respectively. In the
course of the week, the macd and signal line climbed up by 10.59 and 4.67, to close at -38.09 and -43.73
respectively. The macd line crossing above the signal line indicates a bullish trigger.
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 last week, stood at 38.91 level. In the course of the week, it lost a miniscule
0.49 points to close at 38.41 level. The RSI indicator shows that the market could move sideways in the
coming weeks.
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 between the lower and middle bollinger bands, indicating a decrease in
selling pressure in the market. The distance between the upper and lower bands remain wide, signifying
moderate market volatility.
4. 6. Overview
The Nepse index increased by 10.76 points (or up 0.78%) to close at 1454.14 last week. The index continues
to show bearish presence as Nepse is below the 200-day moving average. Furthermore, the 50 day moving
average has crossed below the 200 day MA as well. The RSI is currently moving sideways, hovering at 38.41
level. The macd line shows a bullish trigger as it has moved above the signal line. However, both the lines are
at negative territory. The bollinger bands show moderate market volatility. The new support and resistance
level stands the same at 1407 and 1605 respectively.
