2 February 2026: Initial Sharp Decline Amid Market Weakness
Data Patterns opened the week on a weak note, closing at Rs.2,557.45, down 4.25% from the previous Friday’s close of Rs.2,670.85. This decline was sharper than the Sensex’s 1.03% drop to 35,814.09, reflecting heightened selling pressure on the stock. The volume was relatively high at 78,704 shares, indicating active participation in the sell-off. The broader market weakness and sector-specific concerns likely contributed to this initial setback.
3 February 2026: Mixed Technical Signals Amid Partial Recovery
The stock rebounded by 1.85% to close at Rs.2,604.80, recovering some losses from the previous day. This recovery coincided with a strong Sensex rally of 2.63% to 36,755.96, suggesting a market-wide bounce. However, technical analysis indicated a complex picture: while the intraday price showed volatility, key indicators signalled a shift towards bearish momentum. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) remained bearish on weekly charts, and Bollinger Bands suggested increased volatility with downward pressure. Despite the partial price recovery, the technical landscape remained cautious.

4 February 2026: Marginal Gains Amid Consolidation
The stock edged up 0.45% to Rs.2,616.45, with volume declining to 28,038 shares. The Sensex also gained modestly by 0.37% to 36,890.21. Technical indicators remained mixed: the Relative Strength Index (RSI) showed no clear overbought or oversold conditions, while Bollinger Bands on the monthly chart suggested sideways consolidation. This day’s price action reflected a tentative stabilisation after earlier volatility, with investors awaiting clearer directional cues.
5 February 2026: Technical Momentum Shifts Amid Mixed Market Signals
Despite a 3.44% drop to Rs.2,526.55, the stock’s technical momentum shifted from outright bearish to mildly bearish. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) remained bearish on weekly charts but improved to mildly bearish monthly, indicating potential easing of selling pressure. The Know Sure Thing (KST) indicator was bearish weekly but bullish monthly, reinforcing the theme of short-term weakness against longer-term stabilisation. Volume was notably low at 15,178 shares, and On-Balance Volume (OBV) showed no clear trend, suggesting subdued investor participation. The Sensex declined 0.53% to 36,695.11, reflecting broader market softness.
6 February 2026: Robust Intraday Surge and Heavy Trading Activity
Data Patterns delivered a standout performance on the final trading day, surging 7.78% to close at Rs.2,723.20, with an intraday high of Rs.2,754 representing a 9.08% gain. The stock opened with a gap-up of 4.11%, signalling strong early bullish sentiment. Trading volume soared to 250,029 shares, with a total traded value of approximately Rs.189.77 crores, making it one of the most actively traded stocks by value that day. This surge outperformed the Aerospace & Defense sector, which declined 2.00%, and the Sensex, which rose marginally by 0.10% to 36,730.20.
Technically, the stock traded above all major moving averages (5, 20, 50, 100, and 200 days), indicating sustained upward momentum. Despite this strong price action, MarketsMOJO maintained a Mojo Score of 48.0 with a Sell rating, reflecting caution amid the sector’s challenges and valuation concerns. Institutional interest appeared robust, as evidenced by the high traded value and volume, suggesting confidence in the stock’s near-term prospects despite the cautious rating.

Key Takeaways
Positive Signals: The stock’s 1.96% weekly gain outpaced the Sensex’s 1.51%, driven by a strong intraday rally on 6 February with a 9.08% surge and record trading volumes. Technical positioning above all major moving averages on the final day indicates robust short- to medium-term momentum. Institutional interest was evident from the high traded value, suggesting confidence despite a cautious fundamental outlook.
Cautionary Notes: The week began with a sharp 4.25% decline amid broad market weakness, and technical indicators showed mixed signals throughout, with bearish MACD on weekly charts and neutral RSI readings. The MarketsMOJO Mojo Score remains at 48.0 with a Sell rating, reflecting concerns over valuation and sector headwinds. Volume trends earlier in the week were subdued, and the stock remains below longer-term moving averages for much of the week, indicating potential resistance to sustained rallies.
Conclusion
Data Patterns (India) Ltd’s week was characterised by volatility and a complex technical backdrop. While the stock outperformed the Sensex with a 1.96% gain, the path was uneven, with early weakness and mixed momentum indicators. The strong intraday surge and heavy trading on 6 February highlight renewed investor interest and potential for momentum-driven moves. However, the persistent Sell rating and cautious technical signals suggest that investors should monitor developments closely, particularly for confirmation of sustained trend reversals. The Aerospace & Defense sector’s inherent volatility and geopolitical sensitivities further underscore the need for measured risk management in exposure to this stock.
