The S&P 500 lost 132 points last week. I was expecting it to go slightly lower or remain flat.
Here is the expected breakdown for the week of November 24 to November 28, 2025.
The dasha planet for November 22 – November 26 is Saturn, which occupies the fifth house in the sign of Pisces. Saturn is a malefic planet, and it becomes even more malefic when retrograde. But it gets the aspect of a strong benefic planet, Jupiter. As a result, the market may rise during these days.
Mercury is the compressed Vimshottri dasha planet for November 27 – 30. Mercury occupies the first house in the sign of Scorpio. Its longitude is 30 degrees, so it is effectively present in the second house. It is also totally combust. As a result, the market may go slightly lower during these days.
Transits during this week:
The Sun is now transiting in Scorpio, a friendly sign. On Monday (Nov 24), the Moon transits through Capricorn. The Moon makes sextile aspects with Venus and retrograde Mercury. It will also be aspected by Jupiter during the day. The stock market may, therefore, advance on Monday.
On Tuesday (Nov 25), the Moon transits Aquarius. It makes a trine aspect with Uranus and a sextile aspect with the Sun. So, Tuesday may be a slightly higher day for the markets.
The Moon continues to advance in Aquarius. It makes a sextile aspect with Mars. Rahu is present in the second house from the Moon. Wednesday (Nov 26) may therefore be a slightly higher day.
On Thursday (Nov 27), the Moon gets near the edge of the next sign. It makes a square aspect with retrograde Uranus. It also makes an Anpha yoga with retrograde Neptune. Thursday, therefore, may be a lower day.
The Moon is now in Pisces. It is approaching Rahu, and it forms a square aspect with the Sun. Friday (Nov 28) may therefore be a flat day.
By combining the transit and CVD techniques, I have estimated the daily behavior of the stock market to be as follows.
Monday: Higher; Tuesday: Slightly higher; Wednesday: Slightly higher; Thursday: Lower; Friday: Flat.
