Date: May 6, 2026 (Baisakh 23, 2083 BS) | Published by: SS Holdings & Investment Pvt. Ltd., Kathmandu
NEPSE continues its gradual recovery this week, with the index climbing back toward the 2,720 zone after a sharp correction from the 2,960 peak seen in Chaitra 2082. Here is our full technical and sectoral breakdown for Nepali investors.
📊 Market Snapshot — May 6, 2026
Today's session closed in positive territory with 198 stocks advancing versus 116 declining — a healthy breadth ratio suggesting broad-based buying rather than a narrow rally. Total turnover of Rs 3.39 Arba reflects moderate participation, typical of a market in a consolidation/recovery phase.
📈 Technical Analysis
Support & Resistance Levels
- Immediate Resistance: 2,740 – 2,760 zone (recent supply area)
- Major Resistance: 2,838 – 2,850 (previous consolidation top)
- Immediate Support: 2,700 – 2,710 (strong demand zone)
- Major Support: 2,650 – 2,670 (structural base)
Moving Average Analysis
The index is currently trading below its MA(50) and MA(180), which remain above price — a sign that the medium-to-long-term trend is still recovering. However, the MA(5) has crossed above MA(20) in recent sessions, generating a short-term bullish signal. Investors should watch for a sustained close above 2,760 to confirm trend reversal.
RSI & Momentum
RSI is currently in the 45–52 range — neutral territory, neither overbought nor oversold. This gives room for price to move higher before hitting overbought levels around 65–70. MACD is showing early positive crossover signals on the daily chart, supporting the case for continued short-term recovery.
🏭 Sector Performance
| Sector | Direction | Notable Activity |
|---|---|---|
| Hydropower | ▲ +1.03% | Leading gainer — Rs 1.67 Arba turnover |
| Manufacturing | ▲ +0.63% | Steady with Rs 40.54 Crore turnover |
| Mutual Funds | ▲ +0.47% | Moderate buying interest |
| Commercial Banks | ▲ +0.44% | Rs 31.12 Crore turnover — recovering |
| Development Banks | ▼ -0.05% | Marginally weak |
| Finance | ▼ -0.12% | Light selling pressure |
| Non-Life Insurance | ▼ -0.13% | Consolidating |
| Microfinance | ▼ -0.22% | Continued weakness |
Key observation: Hydropower is the clear sectoral leader this week, driven by the upcoming monsoon season which historically boosts hydro generation and investor sentiment toward this sector. Microfinance remains the weakest sector amid ongoing asset quality concerns.

🎯 SS Holdings Market Verdict — May 6, 2026
Short-term outlook: CAUTIOUS BUY / HOLD
The market is in a recovery phase from the 2,708 low. Positive breadth and early MACD signals are encouraging. However, NEPSE must close above 2,760 convincingly before we can call a confirmed trend reversal.
Strategy: Accumulate quality hydropower and banking stocks on dips toward 2,700–2,710. Avoid aggressive buying above 2,740 until resistance is broken. Keep 20–30% cash for deployment if market revisits 2,650–2,680 support zone.
🔮 Week Ahead — Key Levels to Watch
- Watch for NEPSE closing above 2,760 — confirms bullish reversal
- Any close below 2,700 triggers caution — re-test of lows possible
- Q3 FY 2082/83 results are coming in — focus on banking sector EPS trends
- Monitor Kalanga Hydro IPO announcement for next week
