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 38.86, a general decline throughout the week. Meanwhile, the RSI reading on the weekly chart is 43.57.

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 -37.97. The MACD line is below the signal line.

Price Action

In both the daily and weekly logarithmic NEPSE chart, the index seems to have penetrated below the maintained support trendline. This is a pessimistic signal for the bulls. However, the breakout hasn't been decisive to deduce any conclusion, and the next few trading sessions may provide vital information about the possible trend.
