Wednesday, 21 January 2026: Downgrade to Sell Amid Technical Weakness
Steelcast Ltd’s share price plunged 5.82% to Rs.181.30 on heavy volume of 6,482 shares, further underperforming the Sensex’s 0.47% decline to 35,815.26. This day marked a significant turning point as MarketsMOJO downgraded the stock from Hold to Sell, citing deteriorating technical indicators and expensive valuation metrics. The Mojo Score dropped to 47.0, reflecting a cautious outlook despite the company’s strong fundamentals and long-term growth record. The downgrade underscored concerns about the stock’s ability to sustain upward momentum amid mixed signals from MACD, RSI, and Bollinger Bands.
Thursday, 22 January 2026: Death Cross Formation Signals Bearish Trend
On 22 January, Steelcast Ltd rebounded 3.64% to Rs.187.90 on a surge in volume to 20,469 shares, outperforming the Sensex’s 0.76% gain to 36,088.66. However, this short-term bounce was overshadowed by the formation of a Death Cross, where the 50-day moving average crossed below the 200-day moving average, signalling a potential medium- to long-term bearish trend. Additional technical indicators, including bearish weekly MACD and KST oscillators, reinforced the negative outlook. Despite a lower P/E ratio of 21.38 compared to the industry average, the stock’s recent price action suggested increasing selling pressure and volatility.

Technical indicators remained mixed but leaned bearish, with weekly MACD and KST oscillators signalling weakening momentum. The weekly RSI was bullish, suggesting potential short-term support, but the monthly RSI remained neutral.

| 2026-01-20 | Rs.192.50 | -4.42% | 35,984.65 | -1.82% |

Key Takeaways
Positive Signals: Despite the weekly decline, Steelcast Ltd’s long-term performance remains robust, with multi-year returns far exceeding the Sensex. The weekly RSI and monthly Bollinger Bands suggest some potential for short-term support and consolidation. The brief rebound on 22 January demonstrated that buyers remain present at lower levels.
Cautionary Signals: The downgrade to a Sell rating by MarketsMOJO, combined with the formation of a Death Cross and bearish weekly MACD and KST indicators, signals a weakening technical outlook. The stock’s premium valuation metrics and limited institutional holding add to the risk profile. Persistent underperformance relative to the Sensex and mixed momentum oscillators suggest volatility and downside risk remain elevated.
Conclusion
Steelcast Ltd’s week was marked by significant volatility and a clear shift towards bearish technical momentum. While the company’s strong fundamentals and impressive long-term returns provide a solid foundation, the recent downgrade and technical deterioration highlight near-term challenges. The Death Cross formation and mixed momentum indicators suggest that the stock may face continued pressure unless it can regain upward momentum and break key resistance levels. Investors should monitor technical signals closely and consider the balance between the stock’s historical strength and current market headwinds when assessing exposure.
