by Pushpendu Roy Karmakar••2

Combining Sarvato Bhadra Chakra, Vedic Astrology, and Sectoral Trends for Expiry Week

This week’s stock market movements were dominated by a combination of Moon’s transit from Taurus to Cancer, key Nakshatra changes, and crucial planetary conjunctions. Using Sarvato Bhadra Chakra (SBC) analysis, Moon aspect scoring, and Dhrubank indicators, we assess how market sentiment evolved and what sectors led or lagged.

18 August 2025 – Choppy and Unclear Trend

  • Astrological Setup:
    • Moon started the day in Taurus (Exalted), a stable but slow-bullish sign, then moved to Gemini in the second half.
    • SBC Observation: No Vedha on Moon.
    • Nakshatra: Mrigashira → high volatility.
  • Market Sentiment: Morning stability shifted to choppiness by afternoon.
  • Dhrubank & Aspect Score: Negative morning aspect score (-151.1) improved slightly in the afternoon (112.9) but not enough for a clear uptrend.
  • Likely Impact:
    • Equities: Mixed to sideways.
    • Gold & Silver: Strong bullish bias, especially silver.
    • Sectors: Defense, metals, real estate saw rotational buying.

19 August 2025 – Volatile to Bearish Bias

  • Astrological Setup:
    • Moon in Gemini, Nakshatra: Ardra – both strongly bearish indicators.
    • SBC Observation: No Vedha on Moon.
    • Nakshatra Lord: Rahu (media, telecom, power, infrastructure, metals).
  • Market Sentiment: High intraday volatility with downside pressure.
  • Dhrubank & Aspect Score:
    • Stocks bearish all day, gold bullish, silver very bullish.
    • Moon Aspect Score: Weak in morning (0.9) and modest in afternoon (39.9).
  • Likely Impact:
    • Equities: Selling in index heavyweights, sector-specific swings in Rahu-led industries.
    • Precious Metals: Safe-haven buying supported gold & silver.

20 August 2025 – Bearish Reversal Day

  • Astrological Setup:
    • Moon in Gemini, Nakshatra: Punarvasu (ruled by Jupiter).
    • Conjunction with Venus & Jupiter.
    • SBC Observation: Indications of possible selling despite bullish morning cues.
  • Market Sentiment: Morning bullishness (Moon Aspect Score +434.4) flipped to heavy selling in the afternoon (-479.1).
  • Likely Impact:
    • Equities: Sharp intraday reversal, especially in banking, finance, and pharma.
    • Gold: Volatile and choppy.
    • Silver: Bullish bias held better than gold.

21 August 2025 – Attempted Recovery but Heavy Volatility

  • Astrological Setup:
    • Moon in Cancer (Own Rashi) – generally bearish for indices.
    • Nakshatra: Pushya (Saturn-ruled), with multiple planetary aspects.
    • SBC Observation: Vedha by Ketu; Mercury conjunct Moon in Navamsha with Ketu.
  • Market Sentiment: Morning very volatile (Moon Aspect Score +797.15), flattening in afternoon (0.9).
  • Likely Impact:
    • Equities: Early spikes faded; limited recovery attempts in real estate, construction, and heavy industry.
    • Gold & Silver: Continued bullish tone.

22 August 2025 – Recovery Attempt with Bullish Intraday Momentum

  • Astrological Setup:
    • Moon in Cancer, Nakshatra: Ashlesha (ruled by Mercury).
    • Vedha by Sun (in Leo, powerful).
    • SBC Observation: Signaled potential recovery.
  • Market Sentiment: Positive Moon Aspect Score both sessions (153.9 morning, 504.9 afternoon) supported late buying.
  • Likely Impact:
    • Equities: Stronger second-half rally, led by Mercury sectors – IT, communication, FMCG.
    • Gold: Bullish; Silver: Diverged with bearish bias.

Weekly Pattern & Expiry Week Takeaways

  1. Trend Progression:
    • 18–19 Aug: Choppy to bearish.

    • Recovery signals from SBC (21–22 Aug) worked well for expiry positioning in select sectors.

Final Bias for the Week:

NIFTY 50 (Closing 24631)

  • Trend Context from Astro Data:
    • Market ended the week in recovery mode (esp. 22 Aug afternoon), but the larger weekly bias was sideways-to-bearish.
    • Key reversal signal came on 20 Aug with a sharp intraday fall after a strong start — shows supply overhead.
  • Technical Zones:
    • Immediate Resistance: 24825 (R-1) — very close overhead; may trigger profit booking.
    • Major Resistance Cluster: 25225–25625 (R-2/R-3) — overlaps with astro-resistance zones from 18–19 Aug volatility.
    • Immediate Support: 24425 (S-1) — crucial for holding bullish recovery attempts.
    • Deeper Support Zone: 24025–23650 (S-2/S-3) — if broken, could align with another astro-bearish cycle.
  • Action Bias:
    • Short-term traders: Watch for false breakouts near 24825–25225.
    • Swing traders: Longs safer only above 25625 on closing basis; below 24425, expect test of 24025.

BANK NIFTY (Closing 55341)

  • Trend Context from Astro Data:
    • Banking saw mixed performance — volatile on 20 Aug and mild recovery on 22 Aug.
    • Saturn & Ketu influences suggest possible underperformance if Nifty struggles.
  • Technical Zones:
    • Immediate Resistance: 56500 (R-1) — coincides with sector rotation seen only in late week.
    • Critical Resistance: 57700–58900 (R-2/R-3) — heavy supply zone.
    • Immediate Support: 55300 (S-1) — almost at closing; breach will trigger fast fall.
    • Next Support: 54100 (S-2) — astro support zone from 21 Aug lows.
  • Action Bias:
    • Above 56500, quick move to 57700 possible, but sustainability questionable.
    • Below 55300, expect 54100 test quickly.

FINNIFTY (Closing 26321)

  • Trend Context from Astro Data:
    • Financial stocks mirrored Nifty’s mid-week reversal and end-week bounce.
    • Jupiter’s weak aspect midweek (20 Aug) suggests caution in aggressive long positions.
  • Technical Zones:
    • Immediate Resistance: 26425 (R-1) — very close, may cap early week rally.
    • Critical Resistance: 26825–27225 (R-2/R-3) — big hurdle without strong global cues.
    • Immediate Support: 26025 (S-1) — break here reopens 25625–25225 zone.
  • Action Bias:
    • Best trades likely in scalping swings between 26025–26825 until breakout.

Combined Astro-Technical Outlook for Next Week

  • Bias:
    • Sideways to bearish in the first half unless Nifty clears 24825 & Bank Nifty clears 56500.
    • Astro recovery signals from 21–22 Aug could extend, but resistance zones are tight overhead.
  • Sector Rotation Watch:
    • Early Week: Metals, IT, FMCG possible leaders.
    • Late Week: Banking and infrastructure may catch up if Nifty breaks R-2.
  • Risk Zone:
    • Mid-week reversal risk similar to 20 Aug pattern — high probability of a bull trap if Monday-Tuesday open strong.
