Technical Momentum Shifts to Bearish
The stock of Coffee Day Enterprises Ltd (stock code 999937) has seen its technical trend deteriorate from mildly bearish to outright bearish, reflecting growing selling pressure. The daily moving averages have turned bearish, indicating that the short-term price action is losing upward momentum. The current price stands at ₹30.19, down from the previous close of ₹30.81, marking a day decline of 2.01%. The stock’s 52-week high remains at ₹51.49, while the 52-week low is ₹21.38, highlighting a wide trading range but recent weakness near the lower end.
On the weekly timeframe, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator is firmly bearish, signalling that the stock’s momentum is negative in the near term. Conversely, the monthly MACD remains mildly bullish, suggesting some longer-term underlying strength, but this is overshadowed by the more immediate bearish signals. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) on both weekly and monthly charts currently shows no clear signal, hovering in neutral territory, which implies the stock is neither oversold nor overbought but vulnerable to further directional moves.
Bollinger Bands and KST Indicators Confirm Downside Pressure
Bollinger Bands on both weekly and monthly charts are bearish, indicating that the stock price is trending towards the lower band, a sign of increased volatility and downward pressure. The Know Sure Thing (KST) indicator presents a mixed picture: bearish on the weekly scale but bullish on the monthly scale. This divergence suggests that while short-term momentum is weakening, there may be some longer-term support or potential for a rebound if conditions improve.
Volume and Dow Theory Trends
On-Balance Volume (OBV) analysis shows no clear trend on either weekly or monthly timeframes, indicating that volume is not confirming the price moves decisively. Meanwhile, Dow Theory assessments are mildly bearish on both weekly and monthly charts, reinforcing the cautious outlook for the stock’s price trajectory.

This is a downgrade from its previous Sell rating as of 05 Jan 2026, reflecting deteriorating fundamentals and technicals.

Daily Moving Averages and Price Action
The daily moving averages have turned bearish, with the stock price currently trading below key averages. Today’s trading range was between ₹29.65 and ₹30.81, with the closing price near the lower end, signalling selling pressure. This price action confirms the technical indicators’ bearish stance and suggests that the stock may test lower support levels in the near term.

Investor Implications and Outlook
For investors, the current technical landscape suggests caution. The bearish momentum, confirmed by multiple indicators including MACD, Bollinger Bands, and moving averages, points to potential further downside. The lack of volume confirmation and neutral RSI readings imply that the stock could remain volatile without a clear reversal signal in the near term.
Longer-term investors may note the mild bullish signals on monthly MACD and KST, which could indicate some underlying value if the company addresses its operational challenges. However, the strong sell rating and recent downgrade highlight significant risks that should not be overlooked.
Comparatively, the stock’s underperformance against the Sensex over most periods, especially the sharp declines over three and ten years, underscores the need for a thorough fundamental reassessment alongside technical analysis.
Summary
Coffee Day Enterprises Ltd is currently navigating a difficult phase marked by bearish technical momentum and a downgrade to a Strong Sell rating. The stock’s price action and technical indicators suggest that downside risks remain elevated, with limited immediate signs of recovery. Investors should weigh these technical signals carefully against the company’s fundamentals and sector outlook before making investment decisions.
