The Power of Market Structure – How Professionals Trade NEPSE

The Power of Market Structure – How Professionals Trade NEPSE

In Technical Analysis, understanding Market Structure is the ultimate key to reading price behavior like a professional. It reveals how the market moves through phases of accumulation, manipulation, expansion, and distribution, helping traders anticipate the next possible move instead of reacting emotionally. For traders in the Nepal Stock Exchange (NEPSE), mastering market structure is what separates professionals from beginners. It transforms random price movement into an organized system of trends, corrections, and reversals — allowing traders to follow institutional footprints rather than retail noise.

Market Structure represents the natural rhythm of price movement. It is built through higher highs and higher lows in an uptrend, and lower highs and lower lows in a downtrend. When price shifts from making higher highs to lower lows, it signals a change of character (CHOCH) or potential trend reversal. Professionals identify these transitions early by studying the formation of swing points, break of structure (BOS), and liquidity sweeps. Instead of blindly relying on indicators, they analyze price flow to determine whether the market is accumulating for a big move or distributing before a fall.

In NEPSE, where market cycles are driven by liquidity and sentiment, understanding structure helps traders trade with precision. By observing how banks, hydropower, and insurance stocks form patterns of accumulation and expansion, professionals enter trades aligned with institutional momentum. A clear structural view allows traders to identify when the market is trending, ranging, or reversing — eliminating confusion and improving accuracy. Combining Market Structure with Price Action, Smart Money Concepts (SMC), and Liquidity Theory gives traders the same perspective that large financial institutions use to make consistent profits.

Sandeep Kumar Chaudhary, Nepal’s leading Technical Analyst and founder of NepseTrading Elite, teaches that “Market structure is the language of price — if you can read it, you can predict the market’s next move.” With over 15 years of banking and market experience and professional training from Singapore and India, he helps Nepali traders understand how institutional traders think and operate. Through his courses, students learn to identify break of structure, change of character, and liquidity traps — the exact tools professionals use to trade confidently and profitably in NEPSE.

Why Wealthy People Think Differently: Five Mindset Shifts That Transform How Money Works Across the world, people often blame a lack of money for holding them back from their dreams.

According to CIT, any Nepali citizen can join the scheme by filling out the KYC form provided by the Trust and obtaining a pension account number. The process has also been digitized, allowing applicants to open their accounts online through the official website.

Understanding the Habit Loop: How Everyday Actions Shape Our Lives

Understanding the Habit Loop: How Everyday Actions Shape Our Lives In modern life, personal success, health, happiness, and even our identity are deeply rooted in the habits we repeat each day. Whether a person becomes physically fit or struggles with poor health, whether one feels fulfilled or unhappy, or whether one achieves professional success or falls behind—the underlying driver is the same: habits. What individuals think, how they act, the routines they follow, and the behaviors they repeat ultimately shape the life they lead. Yet, while most people desire change, few understand the scientific mechanism that governs habit formation. A widely accepted behavioral framework—now popularized through scientific literature and the bestselling book Atomic Habits—explains how habits function through a simple four-step cycle: cue, craving, response, and reward. Understanding this loop, experts say, is essential not only for building good habits but also for eliminating harmful ones.

Government to Probe Assembly Industries After Consumer Complaints Surge

Government to Probe Assembly Industries After Consumer Complaints Surge The government has initiated a detailed investigation into Nepal’s assembly-based automobile industries after growing public complaints that state-provided tax concessions have failed to benefit consumers. Despite receiving wide-ranging exemptions in customs duty, excise duty, income tax and electricity tariffs, assembly industries are alleged to have retained the financial gains themselves without reducing retail vehicle prices. According to officials, concerns have intensified in recent months as consumers repeatedly reported to Hello Sarkar—the government’s public grievance system—that vehicles assembled in Nepal remain as expensive as fully imported units, despite the heavy tax relief provided to the industry. Consumers expected significantly lower prices, but the market has shown “no visible difference,” triggering frustration and questions over policy effectiveness.

SEBON’s IPO Pipeline Swells to 82 Companies; Over Rs 54 Billion Issues Await Approval

SEBON’s IPO Pipeline Swells to 82 Companies; Over Rs 54 Billion Issues Await Approval Nepal’s primary market is preparing for a significant expansion as 82 companies have formally applied to the Securities Board of Nepal (SEBON) for approval to issue Initial Public Offerings (IPOs). According to the latest update from SEBON, the firms in the pipeline are collectively planning to issue Rs 54.95 billion worth of public shares, signaling one of the largest upcoming IPO waves in recent years. In total, these companies have requested permission to issue 382.5 million shares to the general public. SEBON officials stated that only companies with a per-share net worth above Rs 90 are being allowed to remain in the IPO pipeline. This follows a directive from Parliament’s Public Accounts Committee, which ordered that firms with weaker financial health — specifically those with a net worth below Rs 90 — should not be permitted to proceed with public issuance.

Nepal’s Economy Stronger Than Expected Despite Political Uncertainty, Says Finance Minister Rameshwor Khanal

Nepal’s Economy Stronger Than Expected Despite Political Uncertainty, Says Finance Minister Rameshwor Khanal Nepal’s macroeconomic indicators remain far more resilient than commonly perceived, even amid political turbulence and widespread public anxiety, Finance Minister Rameshwor Khanal has asserted. In a detailed analytical commentary published in the SEJON Smarika 2082, Khanal argues that the economy’s fundamentals are stronger than public sentiment suggests, and that recent policy decisions have helped stabilize key financial indicators despite disruptive national events. Khanal notes that citizens naturally desire faster economic growth, more jobs, and a more vibrant private sector, but emphasizes that Nepal’s current external sector performance is “far from weak.” Imports of raw materials used by domestic industries have risen—an indicator of expanding production capacity. Exports too have improved modestly. Together, these trends reflect a healthier external sector position compared to two or three years ago, he observes.
