Analysis of Trend

Trend analysis is a method of Technical Analysis that helps in predicting the future movement that is based on the current ongoing trend data. Looking at the daily charts, the trend of the NEPSE index is in a downtrend.

Candlestick Charting and Volume

On the weekly candlestick chart, this week's market movement has formed an inverted hammer candle with a long upper shadow. Last week's candle was a long red candle with lower shadows.

The highest intraday gain was 95.52 points on Sunday with the highest turnover of Rs 2.53 Arba.

Momentum Indicators

The relative strength index (RSI) is a momentum indicator used in technical analysis that measures the magnitude of recent price changes to evaluate overbought or oversold conditions in the price of a stock or index. Traditional interpretation and usage of the RSI are that values of 70 or above indicate that a security is becoming overbought or overvalued and may be primed for a trend reversal or corrective pullback in price. An RSI reading of 30 or below indicates an oversold or undervalued condition.

The RSI reading on the daily timeframe is 37.72. Meanwhile, the RSI reading on the weekly chart is 37.46. No diversion has been seen in the RSI in relation to the index, thus invalidating any attempt toward the prediction of a reversal. Furthermore, the RSI readings in the daily and weekly charts also say very little other than the obvious fact that the sentiment has been pessimistic in the last few weeks.

On the other side of things, the MACD line is still negative, i.e. below zero in the daily timeframe, with the MACD reading at -59.03. The MACD line is below the signal line.

Price Action

The index gained only on the first trading day on Sunday. However, the Indexed followed the trend and continuously fall on other trading days.

It does look like the index has bounced back from the 0.786 Fibonacci level drawn between the two most-recent significant pivot extremes. Although some technical analysts put too much emphasis on these retracement zones, the analyst at hand prefers to adhere to this quote:

"Anticipating retracement levels can be somewhat hazardous, and the trade-off between the amount of retracement desired and what may actually occur is usually unanticipated. Thus, a rough estimate from previous retracements, support and resistance zones, and the location of the longer trend line is probably the best information for an estimate rather than the mechanical percentage numbers derived from various formulas."

2,250 to 2,280 zone may act as the nearest support.
