The S&P 500 gained 172 points last week. I also expected it to go slightly higher, although my daily forecasts were a little off.
Here is the expected breakdown for the week of April 06, 2026, to April 10, 2026.
Venus is the compressed Vimshottri dasha planet for April 02 – April 06. Venus occupies the eighth house in the sign, Aries. Venus makes a square aspect with Jupiter. Although Venus is a benefic planet, it is weak and badly placed. As a result, the market may remain flat during this period.
The next planet in the Vimshottri scheme is the Sun. Its term of office is April 07 – April 08. The Sun occupies the seventh house and forms a sextile aspect with Uranus. This may cause the market to go slightly higher.
Moon is the compressed Vimshottri dasha planet for April 09 – April 10. Moon occupies the seventh house in the sign, Posces. It is a benefic planet is conjunct Mars. As a result, the market may go higher during this period.
Transits during this week:
The Sun is now transiting Aries, a sign where it is exalted. On Monday (April 06), the Sun makes a square aspect with Jupiter. Moon transits in Sagittarius and forms a trine aspect with fallen Saturn. The stock market may remain flat on Monday.
On Tuesday (April 07), Mars transits in Pisces and makes a sextile aspect with Uranus. Since Mars occupies a friendly sign, Tuesday may be a slightly higher day for the markets.
On Wednesday (April 08), Mercury remains fallen. But Jupiter is exalted. April 08 may therefore also be a highly volatile day that ends slightly lower.
On Thursday (April 09), exalted Jupiter is apposed by the Moon in the sign Capricorn. Thursday may, therefore, be a higher day.
Venus is now transiting in Taurus, a sign of its liking. Friday (April 10) may therefore be a higher day.
By combining the transit and CVD techniques, I have estimated the stock market’s daily behavior as follows.
Monday: Flat; Tuesday: Slightly higher; Wednesday: Slightly lower; Thursday: Higher; Friday: Slightly higher.
