12 March: Death Cross Formation and Continued Downtrend
On 12 March, Bajaj Finance’s technical outlook worsened as the 50-day moving average crossed below the 200-day moving average, forming a Death Cross—a widely recognised bearish signal. The stock declined 3.31% to Rs.863.55, touching an intraday low of Rs.865.20. This decline outpaced the Sensex’s 1.08% fall and the NBFC sector’s 1.52% drop, underscoring sectoral headwinds. Despite strong trading volumes exceeding ₹156 crore and a 28.39% increase in delivery volumes, the stock remained below all key moving averages, confirming sustained selling pressure. Technical indicators including MACD, Bollinger Bands, and KST largely signalled bearish momentum, while RSI remained neutral.
13 March: Downgrade to Sell Amid Bearish Technical Momentum
Bajaj Finance closed the week at Rs.855.05, down 0.98% on 13 March, marking a cumulative weekly loss of 9.99%. MarketsMOJO downgraded the stock from Hold to Sell, citing deteriorating technical indicators and valuation concerns. The Mojo Score fell to 44.0, reflecting increased caution. Despite a marginal outperformance versus the NBFC sector’s 0.77% decline and the Sensex’s 0.84% fall on the day, the stock’s technical parameters remained weak, trading below all major moving averages. The downgrade was supported by bearish MACD readings, bearish Bollinger Bands, and a Death Cross formation. The stock’s proximity to its 52-week low of Rs.810.21 further emphasised downside risks.

1. Significant Underperformance: Bajaj Finance’s 9.99% weekly decline was more than double the Sensex’s 4.87% fall, highlighting pronounced stock-specific weakness amid a bearish market.
2. Technical Deterioration: The formation of a Death Cross and sustained trading below all major moving averages signal a shift to bearish momentum, confirmed by multiple technical indicators including MACD and Bollinger Bands.
3. Analyst Downgrade: MarketsMOJO’s downgrade from Hold to Sell with a Mojo Score of 44.0 reflects growing caution due to valuation concerns, flat recent earnings, and weakening price trends.
4. High Trading Volumes Amid Caution: Despite price declines, the stock saw robust trading volumes and increased delivery participation, indicating active institutional involvement and mixed investor sentiment.
5. Sectoral and Market Headwinds: The NBFC sector’s weakness and broader market declines compounded pressure on Bajaj Finance, with the stock underperforming its sector peers consistently during the week.
Conclusion
Bajaj Finance Ltd’s performance during the week ending 13 March 2026 reflects a confluence of technical weakness, sectoral challenges, and cautious investor sentiment. The stock’s sharp 9.99% decline, formation of a bearish Death Cross, and downgrade to a Sell rating underscore a shift in market dynamics and risk perception. While the company’s long-term fundamentals remain strong, the near-term outlook is clouded by valuation concerns and deteriorating momentum. Investors should monitor key technical levels and sector developments closely as the stock navigates this challenging phase.
