The S&P 500 gained 92 points last week. I was expecting it to retreat a bit this week.
Here is the expected breakdown for the week of July 28, 2025, to August 01, 2025.
The dasha planet for July 25 – 29 is Rahu, which occupies the fifth house in the Pisces sign. It makes a square aspect with Venus in the eighth house and a trine aspect with the Sun. Rahu is also in a sextile aspect with the Moon. As a result, the market may go volatile and end flat during these days.
Jupiter is the compressed Vimshottri dasha planet for July 30 – August 01, occupying the ninth house in the sign of Cancer. It makes no short range aspect with any planet. However, it is a benefic planet placed in a benefic house. As a result, the market may go higher in these days.
Transits during this week:
The Sun transits Leo during this week. On Monday, the Moon transits through Virgo. The Moon conjuncts Ketu and makes a square aspect with Venus. The stock market may retreat slightly on Monday.
On Tuesday, Mars continues to transit in Virgo. It has surpassed Ketu. It also makes a square aspect with Venus transiting Gemini. So, Tuesday may be a lower day for the markets.
Mercury is now in the middle of Leo and has become retrograde. It has come very close to the Sun, and is therefore combust. Wednesday may, therefore, be a slightly lower day.
Jupiter advanced into its sign of exaltation, Cancer, just a month ago. Venus is joining it in Cancer. Thursday, therefore, may be a higher day.
Venus is now transiting Cancer. It is making a square aspect with retrograde Saturn. Friday, the market may go lower. 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: Slightly lower; Tuesday: Slightly lower; Wednesday: Slightly lower ; Thursday: Higher; Friday: Slightly lower.
