29 December 2025: Steady Start Amid Market Weakness
Deccan Gold Mines Ltd opened the week at Rs.105.50, a slight gain of 0.19% from the previous close, despite the Sensex falling 0.41% to 37,140.23. The stock’s volume was moderate at 750,480 shares. This initial resilience was short-lived as the broader market sentiment remained cautious, setting the stage for the sharp declines that followed.
30 December 2025: Sharp Gap Down and Intraday Low Signal Heightened Selling Pressure
The stock opened with a pronounced gap down of 5.12%, reflecting market concerns and a continuation of negative momentum. It touched an intraday low of Rs.95.1, marking a 9.86% drop from the previous day’s close. The day ended with a loss of 12.13%, closing at Rs.92.70 on heavy volume of 2,326,219 shares. This decline significantly outpaced the Sensex’s marginal 0.01% fall and the Non-Ferrous Metals sector’s more moderate losses, highlighting company-specific pressures.
Technical indicators were firmly bearish, with the stock trading below all key moving averages (5-day through 200-day). The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) and Bollinger Bands also signalled sustained downward momentum. The stock’s high beta of 1.35 amplified the volatility, contributing to the steep intraday losses.

31 December 2025: Continued Downtrend with Another Gap Down
The bearish trend persisted as Deccan Gold Mines Ltd opened 5.29% lower at Rs.91.15, continuing the prior day’s negative momentum. The stock hit an intraday low of Rs.86.1, a 7.12% drop from the open, before closing at Rs.91.15, down 1.67% on the day. Volume increased to 2,733,757 shares, reflecting sustained selling interest.
This day’s decline was more severe than the Sensex’s 0.83% gain, underscoring the stock’s divergence from broader market trends. The downgrade to a Strong Sell rating by MarketsMOJO, with a Mojo Score of 12.0, was a key factor influencing sentiment. Technical indicators remained negative, with the stock below all major moving averages and momentum indicators signalling bearishness.
1 January 2026: Modest Recovery Amid Cautious Optimism
After two consecutive days of sharp declines, the stock rebounded modestly, gaining 2.64% to close at Rs.93.56 on lighter volume of 1,059,995 shares. The Sensex also advanced 0.14% to 37,497.10, reflecting a broadly positive market mood. Despite this recovery, the stock remained below key technical resistance levels, and the overall weekly trend was still negative.
2 January 2026: Small Gains but Weekly Losses Persist
Deccan Gold Mines Ltd continued its slight recovery, rising 1.04% to close at Rs.94.53 on volume of 589,177 shares. The Sensex gained 0.81% to 37,799.57, extending its weekly advance. However, the stock’s weekly performance remained deeply negative, with a 10.23% loss compared to the Sensex’s 1.35% gain, highlighting persistent challenges for the company.

2. Bearish Technical Indicators: The stock consistently traded below all major moving averages throughout the week, with momentum indicators such as MACD and Bollinger Bands signalling sustained bearishness.
3. Strong Sell Rating and High Volatility: MarketsMOJO’s downgrade to a Strong Sell rating with a Mojo Score of 12.0, combined with a high beta of 1.35, underscores the elevated risk and volatility associated with the stock currently.
4. Intraday Lows and Gap Downs: The pronounced gap downs on 30 and 31 December, with intraday lows of Rs.95.1 and Rs.86.1 respectively, highlight intense selling pressure and market apprehension.
5. Modest Recovery Attempts: Gains on 1 and 2 January indicate some buying interest, but these were insufficient to offset the steep losses earlier in the week.
Conclusion
The week ending 2 January 2026 was challenging for Deccan Gold Mines Ltd, marked by sharp declines, technical weakness, and a downgrade to a Strong Sell rating. Despite minor recoveries towards the week’s close, the stock’s performance was significantly weaker than the Sensex and its sector peers. The combination of elevated volatility, bearish momentum, and negative market sentiment suggests that the stock remains under pressure. Investors should note the persistent downtrend and cautious market stance reflected in the price action and technical indicators.
