NEPSE Market Today — 2026-10-30
NEPSE closed at 2,690.15, down 5.45 points (-0.20%) from the previous close of 2,695.60. Intraday the index ranged from 2,681.58 to 2,712.99 after opening at 2,693.55.
Breakout or Correction?
A breakout here means a close beyond the prior 20-session range of 2,557.30 to 2,695.63; a correction means a close below it. Today's close of 2,690.15 is inside that range, so neither a breakout nor a breakdown was confirmed. The close is -9.41% from the 52-week high of 2,969.50 and +7.54% above the 52-week low of 2,501.49.
Range Context
The intraday span was 31.41 points (1.17% of the prior close), with the close sitting 27.28% up from the low of the range. The 20-session band is 2,557.30 to 2,712.99. The 52-week extremes are 2,501.49 (2026-09-01) and 2,969.50 (2026-03-25), so the close is -9.41% off the yearly high and +7.54% above the yearly low.
Support and Resistance
The nearest swing low below the close is 2,629.22 (set on 2026-08-12), 2.26% under the close. No swing high sits above the close in the last 60 sessions, so the 52-week high of 2,969.50 (2026-03-25) is the next reference. Swing points are local extremes over a three-session window on each side; the 20-day band runs 2,557.30 to 2,712.99.
Technical Snapshot
On the daily chart, the close is above the 20-day SMA of 2,613.70 (+2.92%), above the 50-day SMA of 2,605.15 (+3.26%), below the 200-day SMA of 2,690.41. Momentum by RSI(14) reads 69.67, a neutral reading. The MACD(12,26,9) line is at 18.61 with the signal at 7.82, leaving a positive histogram of +10.79, and the gap is widening.
