The stock market closed last week with a quiet but noticeable drop, and now all eyes are on how the new week will begin. Investors seem unsure, movement has slowed, and the market is looking for a clear direction.
Weekly Movement at a Glance
NEPSE ended the week at 2,631 points, losing almost 45 points from the previous week. Trading volume remained strong, with more than 4 crore shares changing hands. Still, the market felt cautious rather than active.
The index moved within a smaller range compared to earlier weeks. This tells us investors were not rushing to buy or sell. Instead, most were waiting to see whether the market would settle or slip further.
Technical Signals Show Caution
The daily RSI stayed near the mid-50 range, showing neither strong buying pressure nor heavy selling. The weekly RSI also stayed around neutral levels.
The MACD remains positive, hinting that deeper support still exists under the market. But NEPSE closed below its short-term average, which means short-term traders are still not fully confident.

Sectors Moving in Different Directions
Only a few sectors ended the week in green. Most sectors were quiet or declining. This uneven movement shows that investors are picking specific stocks instead of buying the market broadly.
Stocks with higher volatility led the trading lists. This trend usually appears when traders are hunting for short-term chances but long-term investors prefer to stay patient.
What Could Happen This Week
A key support level sits around 2,540. If NEPSE stays above this, the market may try to bounce back. A fall below it, however, could invite fresh selling.
Resistance is expected around 2,820. For the market to rise strongly, positive news or strong buying interest is needed.
What to Watch Closely
Corporate announcements in big companies
Movement of commercial banks and hydropower stocks
Any new updates from regulators
Changes in market sentiment due to global economic news
Investors may continue to act carefully unless a clear sign of recovery appears.
Outlook for the Week
This week is likely to be sensitive, not dramatic. If buyers start stepping in around the support range, NEPSE could slowly turn upward. If confidence stays weak, the market might drift sideways or edge lower.
Either way, the coming week will help show whether the recent fall was only a pause or the start of a longer cooling period.
