Market Setup for April 1, 2026

- NEPSE at 2,851.09 — above the key 2,850 psychological level

Circuit Stock Carry-Over Analysis
| Stock | Circuit Price (Rs) | Carry-Over Potential | Risk |
|---|---|---|---|
| RSML | 2,679.30 | High — 2,097 shares × Rs 2,679 = significant value in buy orders | Profit-taking from holders |
| BJHL | 578.60 | Moderate — 450 shares, but hydro rotation supports it | RIDI selling spooking hydro |
| SKHL | 483.10 | Moderate — hydro co-momentum with BJHL | Thin trading may exaggerate moves |
| HFIN | 349.80 | Low — only 360 shares; thin stock, limited carry-over | Easily reversed on thin volume |
| RLEL | 399.30 | Low — 150 shares only; very thin | Same as HFIN |
Stocks to Watch on April 1, 2026
- RSML: Monitor at open — if buying resumes, next target Rs 2,900-2,950
- BJHL: Watch for follow-through above Rs 580 with increased volume
- KBL: Accumulation pattern — if volume remains above 500K shares, bullish continuation
- RIDI: Distribution pattern — watch whether selling continues or price stabilizes near Rs 360-370
- NHPC: Similar to RIDI — test of Rs 285-290 support range
- SYPNL: Rs 374.49M turnover today — continued activity may signal institutional interest
Key Levels for April 1, 2026
| Level | Price | Significance |
|---|---|---|
| Bull target | 2,880 – 2,900 | Immediate resistance to break |
| Current | 2,851.09 | March 31, 2026 close |
| Support 1 | 2,820 – 2,830 | First support level |
| Support 2 | 2,780 – 2,800 | Key support — trend-defining |
Risk Factors to Monitor
- RIDI's distribution pattern — if high volume selling continues, it could drag the Hydropower sector and by extension NEPSE
- Profit-taking in circuit stocks — if RSML, BJHL, SKHL gap down at open, momentum may stall
- Broader macro — any NRB or government announcements could shift sentiment rapidly
- If NEPSE fails to hold above 2,830 on any pullback, the technical picture weakens
