Continuous Decline in NEPSE, Falling Turnover, RSI Around 42, Heavy Supply in Closing Hours, Strong Buying Pressure from Major Brokers

Nepal’s stock market has been on a continuous downward trend in recent days. Notably, for the past three consecutive trading sessions, both the NEPSE index and market turnover have been declining, raising caution among investors. On Wednesday, the NEPSE index fell by 10.50 points to close at 2,785.74.

Turnover figures also reflect sluggish market activity. On Tuesday, shares worth NPR 6.91 billion were traded, while Wednesday’s turnover dropped to NPR 6.16 billion, indicating reduced investor participation. Among the 13 sub-indices, only 4 posted gains while the remaining 9 declined. Maya Khola Hydropower led the gainers with a 5.74% price increase, followed by Sanima Large Cap Fund with around a 4.5% rise. Most other stocks saw gains of less than 4%. On the losing side, the 10.25% KBL Debenture fell by 9.48%, marking the largest drop of the day.

In terms of transaction value, Balefi Hydropower topped the list with NPR 341.1 million in trades, followed by United Modi Hydropower with around NPR 270 million and Shivam Cements surpassing NPR 240 million. This trend suggests a cautious trading environment, with high-value trades concentrated mainly in hydropower and cement sectors.

Technical Analysis
According to technical analyst Ajit Khanal, the NEPSE is currently in a bearish phase. A breakdown of key support levels has triggered a deeper market correction. Looking at the current structure, the next major support lies near the 61% Fibonacci retracement level, which coincides closely with the 50-day moving average (50MA). Historically, NEPSE has often rebounded from this 50MA level, giving investors hope for a possible positive signal this time as well. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) stands around 42, suggesting the market is nearing a mildly oversold condition.

Trading volume has been on a steady decline for the past few days, with today’s turnover marking the lowest since June 3. Large supply orders have been observed during the market’s closing hours, a trend that has persisted for several days. Sector-wise, hydropower has once again captured nearly 40% of market share.

Broker Analysis
Data from the top 10 brokers shows that 6 of them bought more than they sold, indicating the possible entry of institutional or large investors into the market.

Political Influence and Middlemen Dominate Nepal Electricity Authority After Kulman Ghising’s Removal

Political Influence and Middlemen Dominate Nepal Electricity Authority After Kulman Ghising’s Removal After the government removed Kulman Ghising from the position of Managing Director of the Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA) — reportedly due to his aggressive drive to recover billions in unpaid electricity dues from influential business groups — the institution has seen a resurgence of middlemen’s dominance, according to multiple internal and ministry sources. Ghising, credited with ending the country’s long years of load-shedding and steering the NEA towards profitability, was replaced in March by Hitendra Dev Shakya. The appointment, insiders claim, was heavily influenced by political networks and business interests rather than purely merit-based considerations.

Stock Market Declines Again, Investors’ High Hopes Turn to “Water on Sand”; Technical Analysts See Correction Phase Nearing Its End

Stock Market Declines Again, Investors’ High Hopes Turn to “Water on Sand”; Technical Analysts See Correction Phase Nearing Its End Kathmandu, Aug 11 — After showing gains last Thursday, Nepal’s capital market fell again on Monday, continuing its downward trajectory despite having risen earlier on the back of the current fiscal year’s monetary policy. With the market’s decline, investor sentiment has weakened. A few weeks ago, when NEPSE climbed above 3,000 points, many investors purchased shares expecting the index to surpass 3,200. Now, those high-return expectations have turned into losses, with investments “like water on sand” due to market manipulation and mafia influence, fueling investor frustration.

NEPSE : Market Slows Down Despite Being in Peak Season!

NEPSE : Market Slows Down Despite Being in Peak Season!

NEPSE : Market Slows Down Despite Being in Peak Season! The months of Shrawan and Bhadra are usually considered the "season" for the Nepali stock market, often marked by increased trading volume, bullish trends, and high investor participation. Historically, this period has brought positive momentum. However, this fiscal year 2081/82, the market has shown weakness right from the beginning of the season. Following the release of the monetary policy, the market experienced a short-lived rally for about two weeks — with NEPSE rising and daily turnover nearing Rs. 10 Arba. But over the past eight consecutive trading days, turnover has been in a downtrend, signaling renewed investor uncertainty. On Wednesday, NEPSE closed with a minor decline of 1.94 points at 2832.06. Despite the limited index movement, turnover shrank significantly — from Rs. 9.33 Arba on Tuesday to Rs. 7.63 Arba on Wednesday. Out of 13 sub-indices, only 5 closed green while the remaining 8 declined. The Microfinance sub-index led the gainers with a 1.34% rise, showing some resilience in an otherwise dull market. Three stocks hit the upper circuit (10% gain) — VIN Nepal Laghubitta, Mahuli Laghubitta, and Trade Tower Ltd. Likewise, Samaj Laghubitta and Swabhiman Laghubitta rose by nearly 8%. In terms of turnover, Ngadi Group Power Ltd. topped the list with Rs. 29.45 Crore, followed by Himalayan Reinsurance (Rs. 28 Crore) and Shivam Cements (Rs. 24+ Crore). The consistent fall in turnover during a period typically known for bullish behavior raises concerns about the market’s health. Analysts warn that while monetary policy gave a short-term boost, long-term confidence still demands clear strategies and investor-friendly reforms.
