3 Feb: Technical momentum shifts amid mixed market signals

2 February: Exceptional Volume Surge and Price Rally
On 2 February 2026, Anant Raj Ltd emerged as one of the most actively traded stocks by both volume and value, recording a massive 93.2 lakh shares traded worth ₹523.82 crores. The stock opened at Rs.538.00 and surged to an intraday high of Rs.570.55, closing at Rs.557.95, marking a substantial 10.62% gain on the day. This price appreciation notably outpaced the Sensex, which declined 1.03% to 35,814.09, and the Realty sector’s modest 0.43% gain.
The surge was driven by strong institutional participation, reflected in a delivery volume spike of 51.38 lakh shares on 1 February, a 402.45% increase over the five-day average. The stock traded above its 5-day, 20-day, and 50-day moving averages, signalling short- to medium-term bullish momentum. However, it remained below the 100-day and 200-day averages, indicating longer-term resistance levels yet to be overcome.
3 February: Technical Momentum Shifts Amid Mixed Signals
Following the strong rally, the stock closed at Rs.566.95 on 3 February, up 1.61% from the previous day’s close. The Sensex rebounded strongly, gaining 2.63% to 36,755.96. Despite the price increase, technical indicators presented a mixed picture. The overall momentum shifted from bearish to mildly bearish, with the MACD remaining bearish on weekly charts and mildly bearish on monthly charts. The RSI showed neutral readings, suggesting consolidation rather than a clear trend.
Bollinger Bands and daily moving averages also indicated mild bearishness, while the On-Balance Volume (OBV) remained bullish, signalling that buying volume was supporting the price. This divergence suggested cautious optimism but also highlighted the potential for volatility. The stock’s position below longer-term moving averages continued to act as a resistance barrier.

4 to 6 February: Price Consolidation and Volume Decline
After the initial surge, Anant Raj Ltd’s stock price retraced over the next three trading sessions. On 4 February, the stock declined 2.09% to Rs.555.10, despite the Sensex gaining 0.37%. The downtrend continued on 5 February with a 1.37% drop to Rs.547.50, while the Sensex fell 0.53%. On the final trading day, 6 February, the stock slipped a further 0.25% to close at Rs.546.15, marginally outperforming the Sensex’s 0.10% gain.
Trading volumes also tapered off significantly, falling from over 3.65 million shares on 2 February to just 1.18 lakh shares on 6 February. This volume contraction alongside price declines suggests profit-taking and cautious investor sentiment amid mixed technical signals. The stock remained above its short-term moving averages but continued to face resistance from longer-term averages.

Key Takeaways
Strong Institutional Interest and Volume Surge: The week began with a remarkable spike in trading volumes and delivery volumes, signalling robust institutional accumulation and investor confidence despite the company’s sell rating.
Technical Momentum Mixed but Improving: While the stock showed strong short-term momentum, technical indicators presented a cautiously optimistic but still mildly bearish outlook, with resistance at longer-term moving averages.
Outperformance vs Sensex and Sector: Anant Raj Ltd outperformed the Sensex by 6.77 percentage points over the week, highlighting its relative strength amid a subdued realty sector environment.
Volume and Price Correction Midweek: The latter part of the week saw price retracement and declining volumes, suggesting profit-taking and the need for confirmation of sustained momentum.
Rating and Fundamental Caution: The Mojo Score of 47.0 and a Sell grade reflect underlying fundamental concerns that investors should consider alongside technical and volume signals.
Conclusion
Anant Raj Ltd’s 8.28% weekly gain was driven by a powerful start marked by exceptional volume and institutional interest, which propelled the stock well above the Sensex’s modest 1.51% rise. However, the mixed technical signals and subsequent price consolidation highlight the need for caution. The stock’s position below key longer-term moving averages and the sell rating from MarketsMOJO suggest that while short-term momentum is strong, investors should monitor developments closely for confirmation of a sustained uptrend. Overall, the week reflected a nuanced balance of bullish enthusiasm tempered by fundamental and technical caution in a volatile realty sector landscape.
