The S&P 500 lost 20 points last week. I was also expecting it to retreat a bit this week.
Here is the expected breakdown for the week of July 14, 2025, to July 18, 2025.
Rahu is the compressed Vimshottri dasha planet for July 12 – 17, occupying the eleventh house in the sign Pisces. It makes a trine aspect with Mercury occupying the third house. It makes a square aspect with the Sun, also. As a result, the market may go slightly higher during these days.
Jupiter is the next dasha planet for July 18, which occupies the third house in the Cancer sign. Jupiter is a benefic planet and is weak because it has just entered the sign. It makes a square aspect with Saturn and a sextile aspect with Mars. As a result, the market may go lower on this day.
Transits during this week:
The Sun transits Cancer during this week. On Monday, the Moon transits through Pisces. The Moon trines Jupiter and makes a square aspect with Venus. The stock market may fall on Monday.
On Tuesday, Mars continues to transit in Virgo, getting closer to Ketu day by day. But it makes an opposite aspect with theMoon. So, Tuesday may be a slightly lower day for the markets.
Mercury is now in the middle of Leo, and getting ready to be retrograde this week. It makes a sextile aspect with Venus this week. Wednesday may, therefore, be a slightly higher day.
Jupiter advanced into its sign of exaltation, Cancer, just a month ago. It makes a square aspect with retrograde Neptune. Jupiter is not in a state of combustion anymore. Thursday, therefore, may be a flat day.
Venus is advancing fast in Gemini, a sign it likes. It is making a sextile aspect with retrograde Mercury. Friday, the market may go slightly higher. Saturn has now moved into Aries and has turned retrograde. This can harm the markets on Friday.
By combining the transit and CVD techniques, I have estimated the daily behavior of the stock market to be as follows.
Monday: Lower; Tuesday: Slightly lower; Wednesday: Slightly higher; Thursday: Flat; Friday: Slightly higher .
