The S&P 500 gained 108 points last week. I was also expecting it to go higher. This week, even the daily forecast was right on the dot.
Here is the expected breakdown for the week of January 12, 2026, to January 16, 2026.
Saturn is the compressed Vimshottri dasha planet for January 11 – 16. Saturn occupies the ninth house and is conjunct Neptune. This couple is malefic in nature. However, they are blessed by a strong Jupiter sitting in the ascendant. As a result, the market may go slightly higher in these days.
Transits during this week:
The Sun is now transiting in Capricorn, a sign in which it gives good results. On Monday (Jan 12), the Moon transits through Scorpio, a sign of its fall. The Moon makes quite a trine aspect with Rahu. The stock market may, therefore, go slightly higher on Monday.
On Tuesday (Jan 13), Mars comes close to the Sun, which makes it combust. However, it gets the blessing of exalted Jupiter. So, Tuesday may also be a flat or slightly lower day for the markets.
The Moon moves into Sagittarius on Wednesday. Mercury now forms a close conjunction with Mars. Wednesday (Jan 14) may therefore be a slightly flat or lower day.
On Thursday (January 15), Jupiter makes an opposition aspect with the Sun, Mars, and Mercury. Thursday may also be a slightly higher day
Venus is transiting in Capricorn and is conjunct the Sun, Mars, and Mercury. All these planets make a trine aspect with Uranus in Taurus. Friday (Jan 16) may therefore be a slightly higher day.
By combining the transit and CVD techniques, I have estimated the stock market’s daily behavior as follows.
Monday: Slightly higher; Tuesday: Slightly lower; Wednesday: Flat; Thursday: Slightly higher; Friday: Higher.
