Technical Analysis

Candlestick pattern: On a daily candlestick pattern was not observed and on the weekly basis, a type of bearish marubozu has observed. Bearish marubozu supports the downtrend but marubozu prediction strength in NEPSE is weak.

EMA: We have used EMA's of 5 days' time period (blue line), 20 days' time period (red line).

The NEPSE's value is below both EMA's and 5 days EMA is intersecting the 20 days EMA from upward. If NEPSE makes single bearish candle then we could see a dead cross and taken can be taken as the early signal for the downtrend.

Volume: Volume had decreased day after another, the decreasing volume supports the bearish trend. Looking at the last 3-4 months average volume, this week's volume is relatively higher but it has decreased by more than 50% compared to last week's volume.

Fibonacci retracement method: In the last two months, market moves from the low of 1162 points to the high of 1289 points and currently it started to move downward. We can say that in the past two months the market had gained 127 points. Whenever stock moves beyond the 61.8% of major movement(i., 127) then we can say that the trend has reversed.

We can see from the picture above that index had moved around 50% of the 127 points after hitting the high of 1289 points. Thus, the short-term trend is upward till index stays above the 1210 points. If the index goes beyond the 1190 level then we can that the short-term trend has reversed.
