The stock market is a complex system influenced by various factors, including economic indicators, political events, and natural phenomena. One such natural phenomenon is the lunar eclipse, which has been observed to potentially impact the stock market, particularly the Nifty index. A lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth passes between the Sun and the Moon, casting a shadow on the Moon. This celestial event is visible from most parts of the world when the Moon is in the full moon phase.

Historical trends suggest that lunar eclipses can have a short-term impact on the stock market, with a potential dip in performance during and after the eclipse. A study conducted by the National Bureau of Economic Research found that stock market returns were significantly lower during lunar eclipses compared to non-eclipse days
