Weekly Market Forecast: Trading Nifty During Planetary Transits

The planetary alignments are signaling a major shift, with a quiet start quickly giving way to a mid-week maelstrom of volatility. The intense aspects clustered on Wednesday and Thursday are set to trigger powerful, trending moves across all asset classes, culminating in a chaotic “Uranus Extreme” on Friday.

The Nifty enters the week at a critical juncture. The heavy energy of Saturn turning retrograde will be felt immediately, suggesting that any upward momentum will be a struggle.

Monday, Sep 1: With Saturn turning retrograde, expect a heavy, lethargic feel. The upside will seem capped, and the index may drift in a range with a slight downward bias. A day for patience, not aggression.
Tuesday, Sep 2: The analytical energy of Mercury in Virgo takes over. This points to a quiet, stock-specific session. The market will be consolidating and building energy, like the calm before the storm.
Wednesday, Sep 3 (High-Impact): This is the day of the shockwave. The Jupiter-Moon opposition and Mercury-Uranus square are a recipe for a sudden, sharp sell-off. Be prepared for a potential gap down or a swift intraday breakdown that violates key support levels. Volatility will spike.
Thursday, Sep 4 (High-Impact): This is the follow-through day. The Moon-Pluto and Mars-Jupiter aspects signal an acceleration of the trend. Any morning bounce is a prime selling opportunity. The market is likely to trend lower for most of the session and potentially make the low of the week.
Friday, Sep 5: The Uranus Extreme makes this “The Wildcard Day.” The market is capable of anything: a violent short-covering rally that erases the week’s losses or a final panic-driven plunge. Avoid holding large positions into the weekend.
