On 8 January, Bombay Burmah’s stock closed at Rs.1,842.95, down 3.10%, while the Sensex declined 1.41% to 37,137.33. Technical indicators presented a complex picture: the weekly MACD turned mildly bullish, and the monthly RSI was bullish, suggesting tentative upward momentum. However, daily moving averages remained mildly bearish, and the Know Sure Thing (KST) oscillator stayed bearish weekly. Volume was moderate at 1,939 shares. This blend of signals reflected investor uncertainty and a cautious stance despite short-term gains.

The week ended with Bombay Burmah’s stock falling 1.52% to Rs.1,814.85, underperforming the Sensex which dropped 0.89% to 36,807.62. Technical momentum shifted decisively bearish, with the weekly MACD firmly negative and daily moving averages acting as resistance. The stock’s Mojo Score was downgraded to 30.0, categorised as a Sell rating, reflecting growing concerns about near-term prospects. Despite a bullish On-Balance Volume (OBV) signal suggesting some accumulation, the overall technical landscape indicated increased downside risk.
| Date | Stock Price | Day Change | Sensex | Day Change |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026-01-05 | Rs.1,870.65 | -0.52% | 37,730.95 | -0.18% |
| 2026-01-06 | Rs.1,874.85 | +0.22% | 37,657.70 | -0.19% |
| 2026-01-07 | Rs.1,901.90 | +1.44% | 37,669.63 | +0.03% |
| 2026-01-08 | Rs.1,842.95 | -3.10% | 37,137.33 | -1.41% |
| 2026-01-09 | Rs.1,814.85 | -1.52% | 36,807.62 | -0.89% |
Key Takeaways
Bearish Technical Signals Dominate: The formation of the Death Cross on 6 January marked a pivotal bearish signal, confirmed by subsequent declines and negative MACD readings. Daily moving averages consistently acted as resistance, reinforcing the downtrend.
Mixed Momentum Creates Uncertainty: While some indicators such as the weekly MACD and monthly RSI showed mild bullishness midweek, these were insufficient to reverse the overall negative momentum. The divergence between price and volume, with OBV showing accumulation, suggests some longer-term investor interest despite short-term weakness.
Underperformance Relative to Sensex: The stock declined 3.49% over the week, underperforming the Sensex’s 2.62% fall. This relative weakness highlights company-specific challenges amid broader market volatility.
Mojo Score Downgrade Reflects Caution: The downgrade to a Sell rating with a Mojo Score of 30.0 underscores the deteriorating technical and fundamental outlook, signalling increased risk for investors in the near term.
Conclusion
Bombay Burmah Trading Corporation Ltd experienced a challenging week marked by significant bearish technical developments and price declines. The Death Cross formation and sustained negative momentum indicators suggest that the stock is in a downtrend, with limited signs of immediate recovery. Although some volume-based indicators hint at longer-term accumulation, the prevailing technical signals and recent downgrade to a Sell rating advise caution. Investors should monitor key support levels near Rs.1,521 and watch for any reversal in momentum before considering increased exposure. The stock’s underperformance relative to the Sensex and mixed technical signals reflect a complex environment requiring careful analysis and risk management.
