27 January 2026: Intraday Low Amid Price Pressure

Physicswallah opened the week on a weak note, closing at Rs.121.15, down 4.27% from the previous close. The stock hit an intraday low of Rs.119.15, marking a 5.85% drop intraday. This decline was notable given the broader market’s positive momentum, with the Sensex rising 0.50% to 35,786.84. The stock’s weighted average price volatility was elevated at 15.34%, reflecting significant intraday fluctuations.

Despite the Educational Institutions sector gaining 2.1% that day, Physicswallah underperformed sharply, lagging its sector by over 5%. Technical indicators showed the stock trading below all key moving averages (5-day through 200-day), signalling sustained bearish momentum. The two-day consecutive decline culminating on this day resulted in a cumulative loss of 9.59%, underscoring the immediate selling pressure.

28 January 2026: Strong Intraday Rebound

Following the prior day’s weakness, Physicswallah staged a notable recovery on 28 January, surging 3.05% to close at Rs.124.85. The stock touched an intraday high of Rs.125.65, a 3.71% increase from the previous close, outperforming the Sensex’s 1.12% gain and its sector by 3.28%. This rebound was accompanied by increased trading volumes, indicating active market participation.

Technically, the stock traded above its 5-day moving average for the first time in the week, suggesting short-term strength. However, it remained below longer-term averages, indicating that the rally faced resistance and longer-term momentum had yet to shift decisively. The broader market environment was cautiously optimistic, with the Sensex closing at 36,188.16, still below its 50-day moving average but maintaining a positive medium-term trend.

29 January 2026: Price Retreats Amid Lower Volumes

After the rebound, the stock lost momentum on 29 January, closing at Rs.121.85, down 2.40% on the day. Trading volumes declined sharply to 126,236 shares, less than a third of the previous day’s activity. The Sensex continued its upward trajectory, gaining 0.22% to 36,266.59, highlighting the stock’s relative weakness.

This pullback suggested profit-taking or renewed caution among investors, as the stock remained below key moving averages except the 5-day. The intraday price action indicated resistance near the Rs.125 level, limiting further upside in the short term.

30 January 2026: Week Ends on a Weak Note

Physicswallah closed the week at Rs.119.45, down 1.97% on the day and marking a 5.61% decline from the previous Friday’s close of Rs.126.55. The stock’s volume increased moderately to 215,484 shares, but the price decline reflected persistent selling pressure. The Sensex reversed slightly, falling 0.22% to 36,185.03, yet still posted a weekly gain of 1.62%.

The stock’s inability to sustain gains from the midweek rebound and its close below all major moving averages reinforce the prevailing bearish technical outlook. The Mojo Score of 16.0 and a Strong Sell grade from MarketsMOJO, unchanged since December 2025, continue to reflect cautious analyst sentiment amid these price dynamics.

Conclusion

Physicswallah Ltd’s week was marked by pronounced volatility and a net decline in share price, underscoring the stock’s current technical and sentiment challenges.

The stock’s positioning below key moving averages and the Strong Sell rating from MarketsMOJO reinforce a cautious stance. Investors and analysts will likely continue to monitor price action closely for signs of a more sustained recovery or further deterioration in the near term.
