How NEPSE Circuit Breaker Works: Trading Halts for Significant Market Movements

1. If there is a 4% movement in either direction during the first hour of trading (before 12:00 PM), a 20-minute trading halt is triggered. However, if this movement happens after 12:00 PM, there will be no trading halt, and the market will continue operations.

2. A 5% movement in either direction triggers a 40-minute trading halt if it occurs before 1:00 PM. If this movement happens after 1:00 PM, there will be no trading halt at this level, and the market will continue trading.

3. A 6% movement in either direction results in a complete trading halt for the remainder of the day.
