Overview: This report provides a combined technical and astrological outlook for the upcoming week’s financial markets. We cover Gold (XAU/USD), key Forex pairs (EUR/USD, GBP/USD, USD/JPY, AUD/USD), Bitcoin (BTC/USD), and the Indian Stock Market (Nifty50). Each section includes technical analysis using RSI, Fibonacci levels, Moving Averages, and Bollinger Bands, alongside astrological insights (Moon transits, Nakshatras, Tithi, planetary aspects like Rahu-Ketu influences, etc.) in Indian Standard Time (IST). We conclude each section with likely market direction and trading strategies. All prices are as of last week’s close (March 7, 2025).
Gold (XAU/USD)
Technical Analysis: Gold prices closed around $2,909/oz on March 7 after rebounding from a mid-week low near $2,860. The metal remains in an uptrend on the daily chart, though it recently stalled at resistance. Notably, $2,900 is a key psychological and technical barrier – gold touched ~$2,930 but failed to hold above $2,900 last week. The RSI on daily charts has flattened just above the neutral 50 level, indicating mild bullish momentum but not overbought. The price is hovering near the 20-day moving average, while still above the 50-day SMA, reflecting an overall positive bias. Immediate support is seen at $2,860 (recent bounce level), with stronger support around $2,830 and $2,790 (near the 50-day SMA) . A drop below ~$2,830 could signal a deeper pullback toward $2,720–2,730 (next support zone). On the upside, a breakout above $2,900 would target the $2,945 area (the 161.8% Fibonacci extension of the previous downswing) and the all-time high at $2,956. Beyond that, $3,000 would be the next psychological level. Overall, gold’s trend is bullish but encountering resistance at the upper end of its range.
Gold (XAU/USD) – Daily Chart with Key Levels and Moving Averages. Gold’s uptrend remains intact above the rising trendline (black) and 50-day SMA (orange). Major resistance is around $2,945–2,956 (prior peak & Fibonacci extension), with interim resistance at $2,900. Supports lie at $2,860, $2,830, and $2,790. RSI ~57 (bottom) shows momentum is positive but not extreme, while MACD (bottom) has softened, hinting at consolidation .
Astrological Analysis: In Vedic astrology, Jupiter’s transit through Taurus (an earth sign associated with wealth) is considered auspicious for commodities – this Jupiter-in-Taurus influence is expected to bring positive momentum to gold prices, supporting the long-term uptrend. This week, the Moon (which rules Cancer, gold’s traditional sign) makes key moves: it starts in Cancer (Moon’s own sign) on Monday-Tuesday, providing a stable emotional tone. Notably, Monday, March 10 falls in Shukla Paksha (waxing phase) – the Moon in Pushya Nakshatra (known for nourishment and growth) may support a steady start for gold. By Wednesday (Mar 12) early morning, the Moon enters Leo, a fire sign ruled by the Sun (significator of gold). This Leo transit can increase volatility and optimism – we might see gold attempting another rally mid-week. However, the Moon in Leo will oppose Saturn in Aquarius (exact by midweek, since Saturn remains in Aquarius until month-end. This Moon–Saturn opposition could act as a reality check, introducing some resistance or profit-taking around mid-week when gold prices approach heavy resistance (mirroring the technical $2,900 barrier).
Later in the week, a major lunar event occurs: Friday, March 14 morning features a Full Moon in Virgo, which is actually a Lunar Eclipse (Chandra Grahan) in Vedic terms. The Moon will be in early Virgo (Uttara Phalguni Nakshatra) conjunct Ketu (South Node), directly opposite the Sun in Pisces (conjunct Rahu). Eclipses often bring abrupt shifts or reversals in market sentiment. For gold, the Moon–Ketu conjunction in Virgo could trigger sudden moves – possibly a spike in volatility or a culmination of the week’s trend on Friday. Traders should be cautious around the eclipse; emotional sentiment can swing unexpectedly as the Full Moon (Purnima) energy peaks. That said, Rahu in Pisces (with the Sun) could also signify heightened speculative interest in safe havens, potentially supporting gold if equity market sentiment wavers. Importantly, Mercury and Venus are direct (no retrogrades this week), so there are no major communication or liquidity disruptions from planetary retrogrades – the astro influences on gold will primarily come from the Moon’s transits and the Rahu-Ketu axis.
Outlook & Strategy: Overall, gold leans bullish but faces a pivotal test at the $2,900–2,930 zone. Technicals indicate an uptrend, yet momentum has cooled at resistance. Astrologically, early-week positivity (Moon in Cancer) could lift gold toward resistance, while mid-week Saturn influence might cap gains. By week’s end, the lunar eclipse could coincide with either a breakout (if $2,900 is decisively crossed) or a pullback from the highs. Trading strategy: Traders might go long on a clear break above $2,900, targeting ~$2,945 and $2,955 (with tight stops), as astrological tailwinds (Jupiter’s support) favor an upside breakout. Conversely, if gold fails to breach $2,900 and shows weakness mid-week, a short-term short trade could be considered, aiming for a dip back to $2,830–2,800 support (especially around Friday’s eclipse, if a reversal signal appears). It’s advisable to tighten stops or book profits by Friday due to the eclipse volatility. In summary, watch the $2,900 level – above it, gold could shine further, but failure to break may lead to consolidation or a mild correction. Risk management is key under the week’s volatile astro conditions.
EUR/USD – Euro vs US Dollar
Technical Analysis: EUR/USD ended last week around 1.0833 (EUR up about +0.4% on Friday), extending a strong rally. In fact, the euro surged roughly 350 pips in the last four days, reflecting notable dollar weakness. This rapid advance took EUR/USD to a high near 1.0886 on March 7. The pair is now approaching a key resistance region: around 1.0920–1.0935 (the next notable hurdle per technical analysis). Notably, 1.0933 was cited as a “major swing high” from a previous peak. If euro bulls clear the 1.0850 level convincingly, the pair could test 1.0920/1.0935 next. Above 1.0935, the 1.1000 round figure comes into view, and beyond that lies the upper 1.10s (however, those may not be reached without a pullback given the recent stretch). On the support side, the previous breakout around 1.0780–1.0800 now acts as immediate support (last week’s breakout point). Below that, 1.0700–1.0720 would be a deeper support area. The 4-hour chart (below) shows the euro is trading well above its 50-period SMA, and the RSI had reached overbought levels (~80+) during the surge, then slightly cooled to the 70s – indicating slightly overbought conditions after the sharp rise. This suggests the euro might consolidate or pull back mildly before attempting further gains.
EUR/USD 4h Chart – Euro’s sharp rally in early March. Green zones mark support around 1.0750–1.0780; red lines mark resistance at 1.0915–1.0935 and 1.1000. The euro is above its 50-period SMA (blue), and RSI (bottom) hit ~77 (overbought) before dipping, implying limited upside before a breather.
Astrological Analysis: The EUR/USD’s fate often ties to general market sentiment and the economic outlook. This week’s planetary setup suggests the U.S. dollar may remain on the back foot initially, as the Moon’s transit in Cancer (Mon-Tue) and then Leo (Wed-Thu) can boost risk appetite, favoring the euro. Specifically, Tuesday, March 11 falls on the Ekadashi tithi, and the Moon in Ashlesha Nakshatra late in Cancer could bring an intense but decisive energy – possibly aiding the euro if traders shake off uncertainty. Mid-week, as the Moon moves through Leo, we get a mixed astro picture: Leo Moon typically confers confidence, which could help the euro (risk-on flows out of USD). However, the Leo Moon opposing Saturn might inject some caution or corrective pullback mid-week – perhaps aligning with a scenario where EUR/USD, having run up to ~1.09, pauses or retraces slightly. It’s worth noting that Mercury (planet of trading and currencies) is currently in Aquarius (sidereal) and not retrograde, which implies communication and data flows (like last week’s GDP beat in Euro Area) continue to favor the euro without Mercury-related disruptions. Additionally, Venus (which rules Taurus/Libra – signs tied to finances and currencies) is well-placed and direct, supporting stable money flows.
Toward the latter part of the week, the Full Moon Eclipse (Mar 14) along the Pisces-Virgo axis can affect currencies. The Sun and Rahu in Pisces might highlight central bank themes or policy illusions, while the Moon with Ketu in Virgo could reveal truths or trigger adjustments. For the Euro, which astrologically corresponds with Venus-ruled signs (Taurus/Libra for EU’s financial stability) and Mercury (currency), the Virgo full moon (Mercury’s sign) could mean an important news or policy culmination by week’s end – possibly the ECB commentary or inflation data causing a reaction. However, no major Eurozone central bank meeting is this week, so astro influences may manifest as profit-taking on the euro’s rally around the eclipse (Virgo Moon can bring a desire for practical repositioning). Rahu-Ketu’s axis doesn’t directly hit the Euro’s classical rulers, but Rahu in Pisces (Jupiter’s sign) has been weakening the dollar’s appeal by increasing speculation of Fed easing, indirectly boosting EUR. With Saturn still in Aquarius (sign of innovation, also relating to Europe’s collective), the euro’s uptrend is supported by a disciplined recovery in the Eurozone (as also seen by GDP coming slightly better.
Outlook & Strategy: EUR/USD looks poised to remain firm, though a breather is due. Technically, the euro is bullish above 1.08, but short-term overbought. Astrologically, early to mid-week is optimistic for risk assets (supportive of EUR gains), but the lunar eclipse on Friday could mark a turning point or volatility burst. Trading strategies: Euro bulls might consider buying on dips – for instance, if EUR/USD pulls back to the 1.078–1.080 support area (perhaps on a mid-week hiccup), that could be an entry for a push toward 1.09+. Keep an eye on 1.0850; a sustained move above that likely targets 1.0930 next. Conversely, given the strong rally, taking partial profits on long positions as we approach 1.0930 is wise, since astro signals (full moon) hint at trend exhaustion near the week’s end. A short position is counter-trend, but aggressive traders might sell if a reversal pattern emerges around 1.09 (with tight stop above 1.10), aiming for a quick retracement to 1.08 or lower on Friday’s eclipse. Overall, bias is bullish, but expect some consolidation. With no Mercury retrograde to confuse matters, trust clear technical signals, and align them with astro-timing: the strongest euro momentum may come early in the week, while Friday demands caution.
GBP/USD – British Pound vs US Dollar
Technical Analysis: GBP/USD closed near 1.2920 on Friday, after testing a significant resistance zone. The pair has rallied alongside the euro, and is now attempting to break out above 1.2935–1.2950, a key supply area. This zone represents prior swing highs; indeed, charts show multiple peaks in the mid-1.29s. A successful daily close above 1.2950 would be bullish, opening the door to the next resistance around 1.3050–1.3070. The pound’s 50-day MA lies well below (around 1.27), and short-term 20-day MA is climbing, indicating an uptrend in motion. Support is now seen at 1.2830–1.2810 (recent breakout level, marked by green zone in chart) and further down around 1.2700. The RSI on the 4H chart is in the high-60s – slightly lower than EUR’s, but still showing momentum. Overall, technical bias is bullish as long as GBP/USD holds above the upper-1.27s. Traders will watch if the pound can decisively breach 1.2950 early in the week.
GBP/USD 4h Chart – The pound nearing breakout. Red band = resistance at 1.2935–1.2950 (prior highs); above there, next resistance ~1.3050+. Green zone = support around 1.2810–1.2830. The uptrend is evidenced by higher highs/lows and price above the 50 SMA (blue). RSI ~68 shows positive momentum with some room before overbought.
Astrological Analysis: The British pound, like the euro, benefits from a generally risk-on sentiment and any weakness in the US dollar. Astrologically, the pound is associated with the sign Taurus (the UK is often symbolically linked to Taurus). This is interesting because Jupiter in Taurus right now provides a fortunate influence for currencies tied to Taurus – we already noted Jupiter’s positive momentum for wealth assets. This could underpin the GBP’s strength as well. Through the week, planetary energies suggest the pound will largely track the euro’s pattern: early-week Moon in Cancer (a water sign harmonious with earth signs like Taurus) could help solidify support above 1.28 for GBP. The Moon in Leo mid-week adds some drama: Leo is a fixed sign like Taurus, and for the UK markets it might spark bold moves (perhaps any major news from Bank of England or UK data mid-week could surprise?). No major UK data is scheduled, so any move might be externally driven (e.g., by dollar moves or equity swings).
Mid-week, the Sun (ruler of Leo) trines Mars (as per ephemeris, Sun in Aquarius forming a harmonious aspect to Mars in Gemini around March 8 from an Economic Times astro snippet) – while that aspect is exact on March 8, its energetic aftermath early week could still imbue confidence and drive into markets. For GBP, this can translate to bullish momentum to break 1.2950. Additionally, Venus, the ruler of Taurus (and thus a key for GBP), is in a friendly sign (likely Pisces in sidereal, exalted) – suggesting the pound has cosmic support in maintaining its uptrend. Rahu-Ketu axis on Pisces/Virgo may indirectly touch the UK’s financial sentiment during the eclipse; specifically, Friday’s Full Moon eclipse in Virgo could correspond to some event in UK markets (Virgo relates to health/economy – perhaps some economic indicator or Brexit-related development surfaces, but this is speculative). With Ketu (South Node) in Virgo, there’s a chance of a sudden, sentiment-driven blip on Friday for GBP (similar to euro) – possibly a quick dip or spike. Notably, Saturn in Aquarius continues to influence global markets; Aquarius corresponds to networks and communities – one could say this stabilizes the broader risk environment, indirectly helping GBP (as no new shocks are seen). Mercury (trade) direct means UK-U.S. trade communications or data releases flow normally. Summing up, astro influences favor steady to bullish GBP with a note of caution on Friday.
Outlook & Strategy: GBP/USD appears bullish, with the pound likely to press its advantage if the dollar remains weak. We anticipate GBP may break 1.2950 given supportive technicals and astro momentum, aiming for 1.30+ later in the week. Strategy: It makes sense to buy on dips for GBP/USD as well. A pullback to ~1.2830 (if it occurs) could be a buying opportunity, targeting the 1.30–1.3050 zone. If long from lower levels, consider booking some profits near 1.3050 (just below the next resistance) as technicals and astrology both hint that level could be reached but might not be cleanly surpassed in one go. Astro-tip: be a bit cautious on Friday (Mar 14) – the eclipse could cause a quick swing; for example, if GBP/USD has rallied into Friday, one might see a sudden reversal or increased volatility. It might be wise to avoid new positions during the eclipse window (Friday IST morning). If 1.2950 holds firm (no breakout) by mid-week and dollar strength creeps in, a short-term tactical short could target a slide back to 1.2750–1.2800, but this is counter-trend. Overall, we favor the upside for GBP/USD this week, riding the bullish wave but staying alert as the Moon’s cycle peaks on Friday.
USD/JPY – US Dollar vs Japanese Yen
Technical Analysis: USD/JPY continued to grind lower last week, reflecting yen strength as U.S. bond yields fell. It closed around 147.3–148.0 on Friday, after testing support in the 146.50–147.00 zone. This support area was mentioned as critical, and indeed USD/JPY briefly dipped to ~146.94 before rebounding slightly. The short-term trend is down – on the 4H chart, the pair is making lower highs and lower lows. The price is trading below its 50-period SMA (which is around 149). Momentum: RSI on the 4H is near 35, flirting with oversold territory, implying the yen’s strength might be a bit stretched but could continue a bit further. If 146.50 support decisively breaks, the next downside target is 143.50–144.00 (the next support zone from late-2024 lows). On the upside, immediate resistance is at 148.50–149.00 (recent minor highs and a round figure). Above that, stronger resistance and a trend reversal signal would only come if USD/JPY climbs back above 150.0, which currently looks distant. The 200-day EMA around ~145.7 (and the daily Bollinger lower band around 146) may provide some cushioning. In summary, technicals favor the yen (downward USD/JPY) with cautious watch for oversold bounces.
USD/JPY 4h Chart – The dollar/yen is in a downtrend. Support (green) at ~147.0 and 146.5 (just below current price) is being tested; a break could send USD/JPY to the mid-144s. Resistance (red) at 149 and 150 above. The 50-SMA (blue) around 149.2 is sloping down. RSI ~36 shows mild oversold conditions developing.
Astrological Analysis: The Japanese Yen is often considered a safe-haven, gaining when global sentiment is risk-averse. Astrology suggests a couple of factors that could strengthen the yen (weaken USD/JPY) further this week. First, Saturn, planet of caution, is strongly placed in Aquarius (until it moves to Pisces end of month. Mid-week, as noted, the Moon in Leo opposes Saturn – this could manifest as a bout of risk aversion around Wednesday/Thursday, precisely the kind of mood that usually benefits the yen. In practical terms, if equity markets wobble or if there’s a cautious tone mid-week, USD/JPY could break that 146.5 support and slide further (since investors flock to yen). Furthermore, Moon’s transit through Leo (fire sign) can sometimes energize the yen due to Japan’s Leo Ascendant in the country’s mundane chart (according to some financial astrologers) – meaning mid-week might continue the yen strength.
Another key influence: Mars, which co-rules Scorpio (sign associated with debt and also related to yen historically, as Japan has large debt and the yen is sensitive to interest rates), is in Gemini currently and not making major adverse aspects, so no counteracting force to yen strength from Mars. Mercury (commerce, trading) being direct and in Aquarius means markets are digesting data normally – the big driver for USD/JPY lately has been falling U.S. yields. If we tie that to astrology, Jupiter (expansion) in Taurus is in a harmonious aspect to the U.S. economic sentiment, possibly implying slower inflation (hence yields down, aiding yen). Towards the end of the week, during the Full Moon eclipse, the Moon will be in Virgo (which is Japan’s 2nd house of finances in some astro charts) with Ketu – this could cause a spike in volatility for USD/JPY. Eclipses have coincided with inflection points for USD/JPY in the past. Here, one might see either an acceleration of the trend (yen spikes stronger if 146 breaks) or a sudden reversal (short-covering rally if yen overextends). The fact that RSI is near oversold ties well with a scenario where by Friday, yen could be overbought and the eclipse forces some profit-taking (USD/JPY uptick).
Outlook & Strategy: USD/JPY is likely to stay on a downward (yen-strong) path overall, in line with both technical and astro signals of caution. We could see the pair drift lower to test and possibly break 146.5 support, especially if any risk-off moves occur mid-week. Strategy: Trend-following traders can sell rallies – for instance, any bounce toward 148.5–149.0 (perhaps early week) could be an opportunity to initiate or add to short USD/JPY positions, aiming for 144–145 area. Keep stops above 150 (or tighter, depending on risk tolerance). If support at 146.5 breaks early, momentum sellers might jump in, but watch out for the RSI oversold condition – perhaps scale out profits around 145. Astro-wise, consider covering shorts by Thursday night because Friday’s eclipse might cause a reversal spike. In fact, if USD/JPY reaches low- to mid-144 by Friday, one could even consider a short-term contrarian long (yen short) for a bounce, given how eclipses can flip trends in the immediate term. However, any such long should be tightly managed. The bigger picture favors the yen; thus, our preferred strategy is to remain short USD/JPY on upticks, riding the downtrend. With Saturn’s disciplined influence and waning risk appetite, the yen could continue to outperform, unless a major shift in sentiment occurs (which, based on current astro indications, is unlikely until possibly post-eclipse).
AUD/USD – Australian Dollar vs US Dollar
Technical Analysis: AUD/USD has been in a downtrend, with the Aussie dollar underperforming. It closed the week around 0.6305, down 0.4% on Friday. The pair has fallen sharply over the past month, and last week it attempted to stabilize just above 0.6200 (which appears to be a medium-term support). The daily chart shows that AUD/USD hit a low near 0.6220 in recent sessions (a level not far from the 2024 lows), then bounced to ~0.633. It is now hovering around its 50-day EMA (~0.631). This 0.630–0.632 area is a make-or-break region: it roughly coincides with a prior breakdown level and the 50-day average, so it’s acting as resistance now. If the Aussie can close above 0.6350, it might signal a short-term trend change to bullish. For now, momentum is weak: the RSI on daily is around the mid-40s (slightly bearish bias). Key support levels below are 0.6200, and then the psychological 0.6100 (if 0.62 fails, that would be a new multi-year low). On the upside, besides 0.635, the next resistance is around 0.6400 (see chart horizontal line) and 0.6460 (the 200-day EMA). The bearish alignment of moving averages (20-day below 50-day, etc.) suggests rallies may be sold. The Bollinger Bands had widened on the sell-off and are now constricting as volatility eases, indicating a possible consolidation.
AUD/USD Daily Chart – The Aussie’s downtrend and key levels. As of Mar 7, AUD/USD ~0.629. The 50-day EMA (red) at ~0.630 is being tested; the 200-day EMA (grey) near 0.646 looms above. Horizontal support at 0.6200 (solid teal line) and 0.6100 (lower teal). Horizontal resistance at 0.6400 (top teal). The recent bounce lacks momentum, volume is moderate. Overall, lower highs since mid-2024 keep pressure on AUD.
Astrological Analysis: Australia’s currency is sensitive to China’s economy and commodity cycles (both of which can be linked to astro events like eclipses and Jupiter/Saturn trends). Right now, Saturn in Aquarius (signifying tighter liquidity and caution) has likely weighed on commodities and by extension the Aussie. This week, we might not see strong independent bullish astrological triggers for AUD – unlike the Euro or Pound which had Jupiter’s support, the Aussie doesn’t have a direct astro tailwind. In fact, Mars in Gemini has been challenging for Australia’s Gemini rising (some astrologers use Gemini rising for Australia); this could be one reason the AUD has been weak. Mars remains in Gemini for a bit, indicating continued volatility and weakness for AUD until it leaves. However, not all is doom: Mid-week Moon in Leo could spark some risk-on appetite that benefits the Aussie briefly (since Aussie is a risk currency). Also, Thursday, Mar 13 the Moon will transit Purva Phalguni Nakshatra (ruled by Venus) – this could bring a more relaxed, bullish sentiment for equities and risk assets on that day, possibly allowing AUD/USD a relief rally. Additionally, Venus (natural ruler of AUD’s Taurus link via commodities) is strong in Pisces (exalted, sidereal), which might be a subtle positive for AUD that hasn’t materialized yet but could limit further downside.
The Full Moon eclipse in Virgo on Friday hits the AUD in an interesting way: Virgo is an earth sign (commodities) and Ketu’s presence there might cause a sudden adjustment in commodity currencies. We could see an inflection around the eclipse – perhaps news from China (Virgo Moon could coincide with a data release or policy rumor) that impacts AUD. If, for example, there’s any stimulus news from China or surprising economic data, the Aussie could react sharply. Rahu in Pisces (opposite Virgo) falls in Australia’s 10th house of leadership (if using a certain national chart), which could mean some government or RBA comment around the eclipse. In sum, astro factors are mixed: no clear bullish push, and the eclipse could either break the Aussie’s slump (if something positive emerges) or reinforce it (if risk-off hits commodities). Mercury (planet of trade) being direct is generally good for currency stability, but Mercury currently in Aquarius doesn’t significantly boost AUD’s outlook aside from ensuring normal functioning of markets.
Outlook & Strategy: The Aussie likely remains the laggard among majors this week, with a tentative attempt to base around 0.62–0.63. Our expectation is for range-bound to slightly bullish movement – perhaps AUD/USD holds above 0.6200 and tries to inch toward 0.6400 if risk sentiment improves mid-week. However, any rallies could fade quickly. Strategy: Cautious traders might stay on the sidelines on AUD/USD until a clearer trend forms. For active traders, one approach is to trade the range: buy near 0.6220–0.6250 (if seen) with tight stops below 0.6200, and aim to sell near 0.6380–0.6400. Conversely, higher up, if AUD/USD does bounce to the 0.64 area early in the week, it may be an opportunity to initiate shorts, aligning with the prevailing downtrend, with stops above 0.6460 (200-day EMA) and looking for a move back down to the low 0.62s. Astro timing hints the best chance for a short-term AUD rally is Wednesday-Thursday; if by Thursday AUD/USD still cannot close above 0.635, that would be a sign of weakness – one could then confidently short, anticipating that Friday’s eclipse could send AUD lower (particularly if global equities wobble). Keep trades nimble; the Aussie is notorious for sharp swings. Also watch the Shanghai/Shenzhen markets and copper/oil prices for clues (since any uptick there could foreshadow an AUD bounce). In summary, expect consolidation with a slight upward bias in the first half, but remain prepared for renewed sell-offs by week’s end if risk tides turn.
BTC/USD – Bitcoin
Technical Analysis: Bitcoin (BTC/USD) is trading in the mid-to-high $80,000s as of last week, after a volatile few sessions. It attempted to rally above $92,000 on Thursday but “gave back the gains above $92,000” promptly, indicating stiff resistance in the low 90Ks. Currently, BTC is oscillating roughly between $86,000 (support) and $92,000 (resistance) in a choppy range. The 50-day EMA and 60-day EMA are crisscrossing around this area, and Bitcoin price has been “seesawing” between them– a sign of consolidation. The 200-day moving average sits near $85,743 and is acting as an important support baseline. On the upside, $96,000 is a key breakout level – a move above $96K would be very bullish, opening the path to the psychological $100,000 and even ~$110K according to some analysts. On the downside, if BTC slips under $85,000, the next supports might be around $80K and $75K (round-number supports and previous consolidation zones). Momentum: The daily RSI is around neutral (50-55), reflecting the recent sideways action, while shorter-term RSI has been sub-50 during pullbacks – not yet oversold, suggesting room for further downside probing. However, the consolidation could be a bullish flag if support holds. Volume has been moderate; notably, there was a spike in buy volume on the dip toward $86K last week, implying dip-buyers are active. In summary, Bitcoin’s trend is neutral-short term (bullish long-term) – it’s range-bound awaiting a breakout from the ~$86–92K band.
Astrological Analysis: Cryptocurrency is often said to be influenced by outer planets (Uranus) and nodes (Rahu-Ketu), given its speculative and revolutionary nature. This week we have a potent astro event: the Lunar Eclipse on March 14. Eclipses have historically coincided with increased crypto volatility. This eclipse falls on the Pisces-Virgo axis, which for Bitcoin can be significant – Pisces relates to dreams/illusions (some liken it to the speculative fervor around crypto), and Virgo brings reality checks. With Rahu (North Node) with the Sun in Pisces and Ketu (South Node) with the Moon in Virgo during the eclipse, we might see unexpected news or swings in crypto. It’s possible we hear of some regulatory development or major institution news around the eclipse (since nodes often correspond with sudden events) – for instance, rumors about a crypto ETF or a government announcement. Earlier in the week, Moon in Leo (Wed-Thu) can be interesting for Bitcoin: Leo is a sign of speculation and big risk-taking, so we could see BTC attempt another rally mid-week (just as it did last Thursday) as Moon crosses fiery Leo. However, remember the Moon in Leo will oppose Saturn – translating to bulls encountering a wall (Saturn’s discipline) mid-week if they push too exuberantly. That astrological dynamic perfectly mirrors the technical scenario: attempts above $92K met with resistance (Saturn-like pushback).
Additionally, Jupiter (expansion) in Taurus is generally positive for assets like Bitcoin in 2025, as Taurus rules wealth – this underpins the long-term bullish case (indeed, some predictions see six-figure BTC in 2025). But in the short term, Jupiter is not making any new aspects this week to trigger a breakout. Meanwhile, Mercury (communications) being direct means the crypto news cycle will be active – and indeed, last week we saw news like talk of a U.S. “strategic crypto reserve” which spiked volatility. No Mercury retrograde issues implies news and rumors flow freely, impacting BTC sentiment quickly. Mars in Gemini can induce quick swings in speculative assets – watch for sudden moves around mid-week (Gemini Moon or aspects could amplify day-trader activity). Also, Venus (money) in Pisces (its exaltation) could be subtly supporting crypto investment sentiment – Pisces is imaginative and Venus there can mean big money chasing idealistic investments (like crypto). The absence of retrogrades and presence of this eclipse suggest if a breakout or breakdown were to occur, it could be catalyzed now.
Outlook & Strategy: Bitcoin remains in consolidation, but this week’s astrological climate (especially the eclipse) suggests we should expect a spike in volatility. The big question – breakout or breakdown? Given the overall bull trend of this cycle, we lean toward an upside resolution eventually, but perhaps after one more shakeout. It would not be surprising if BTC dips early in the week (maybe testing $85K support), then surges late week or right after the eclipse once uncertainty clears. Trading strategy: Range trading is possible but risky given looming volatility. One approach is buy near support (~$86K or below) if seen early-week, with stops just under $85K (below 200-day MA), aiming for a move back to $92K. Conversely, consider trimming longs or tightening stops if price approaches $95K–$96K before Friday – since that’s heavy resistance and eclipse could reverse it. Aggressive strategy: If an eclipse-driven dump occurs (say BTC wicks down to $80K area quickly), that could be an excellent long-term buy entry – eclipses often mark temporary panic bottoms, followed by V-shaped recoveries. So, be ready with capital to “buy the dip” if a sudden flush happens on Friday. For those already long from lower levels, it might pay to hold through short-term gyrations (with maybe a hedge) because the astrological long-term outlook (Jupiter in Taurus, etc.) is favorable and any post-eclipse clarity could send Bitcoin higher. In summary, short-term neutral/volatile, long-term bullish. Traders of BTC this week should stay nimble, possibly reducing leverage, and watch for that eclipse moment which could be the inflection point for Bitcoin’s next big move (either confirming a break of $96K or giving a last dip to add).
Indian Stock Market – Nifty50 and Key Stocks
Technical Analysis (Nifty50): The Indian equity benchmark Nifty 50 closed around 22,582 on Friday, March, holding onto the gains from a mid-week rally. The index has recovered from a 10-session losing streak earlier and is now on firmer footing. Last week, Nifty decisively reclaimed the 22,500 level and even tested highs above 22,600 . Technically, the trend in the short term has turned bullish: the index formed a small bull candle on the daily chart with a long lower shadow on Thursday , indicating buying on dips. Analysts note that Nifty has surpassed its initial hurdle around 22,500, which is a positive sign . The next upside resistance is projected around 22,750 – 22,800 this corresponds to the gap resistance and previous swing highs. In fact, options OI data showed the highest Call OI at 22,600 (which Nifty closed above), suggesting if Nifty sustains above 22,600, it can trend toward 22,800 . Beyond 22,800, the next target could be around 23,750 – 23,800 (as one technical analyst from LKP Securities suggests) , although that might be more achievable over a multi-week horizon, not just this week. On the support side, 22,250 is immediate support ; below that, the recent low region around 22,000–22,100 is crucial (also near the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement and a historical support). Indicators: RSI, which was at historical oversold levels during the losing streak, has started to recover and even gave a bullish crossover . This indicates momentum is swinging back up in favor of bulls. Moving averages: Nifty is now back above the 9-day EMA (short-term sentiment gauge) , which it reclaimed last week, and that EMA (~22,540) will act as minor support on any pullback. The 50-day MA is still a bit above current levels (~23,000), so some overhead supply may emerge as we approach that. Market breadth has improved tremendously – last week saw broad participation (midcaps and smallcaps outperformed, indicating risk appetite returning) .
Key Sectors/Stocks: The standout sector was Oil & Gas – the Nifty Oil & Gas index rallied ~6.7% over four days . Heavyweight Reliance Industries surged +3.21% on Friday , helping Nifty significantly (Reliance being a major index contributor). This momentum in oil/gas was driven by rising crude prices and possibly policy news. We expect Oil & Gas stocks (Reliance, ONGC, IOC, etc.) to continue to be in focus – Reliance in particular, now around ₹X (not provided, but up strongly), could extend gains if crude stays high. Banking had a mixed outing; some banks (HDFC Bank, IndusInd) lagged earlier due to specific news (RBI’s NBFC credit line clampdown). However, with overall market sentiment improving, banking might play catch-up this week. IT and Metal stocks were strong in the rebound (both sectors up >2% mid-week) watch for Infosys, TCS in IT and Tata Steel, Hindalco in Metals to see follow-through buying. Adani Group stocks had a stellar rebound: Adani Ports and Adani Enterprises jumped 4-5% in one session on positive news (fund raising and regulatory approvals). These high-beta names could continue to swing higher, aiding sentiment, though they remain volatile. Midcaps broadly have turned positive, with stocks in defence sector (e.g., Bharat Dynamics, GRSE) and real estate (e.g., Brigade Enterprises up on project launch seeing interest. This breadth suggests the rally isn’t just narrow – a good sign going forward.
Astrological Analysis (Market Sentiment & Key Timings): The Indian market will reflect both global cues and local astrological influences. Starting Monday, March 10, the Moon is in Cancer (Karka Rashi), which in India’s horoscope is often associated with the public mood. Monday also coincides with Pratipada to Dwitiya tithi of the waxing phase – generally auspicious for new beginnings. We might see the week opening on a steady or optimistic note, continuing last week’s positive momentum. The Moon in Pushya Nakshatra (on Monday) is considered very auspicious and supportive; this could mean strong buying support on Monday – a good day for accumulation of quality stocks. By Tuesday, Moon moves through Ashlesha Nakshatra (known for its transformative, sometimes intense energy) – this might bring a mid-week volatility spike or some sector rotation. Perhaps Tuesday could see an intra-day dip or sudden surge; traders should be alert to news triggers on that day.
Mid-week, as the Moon transits Leo (Simha Rashi) on Wed-Thu , the market sentiment could turn exuberant – Leo is ruled by the Sun and represents power and authority. This could correlate with important announcements or policy news (the government or RBI might make a statement). Leo Moon can also inflate confidence – we may see Nifty testing that 22,750-22,800 resistance by Wednesday or Thursday if all goes well. However, caution: Moon opposite Saturn mid-week suggests any over-exuberance will be met with reality. That could mean if Nifty runs up too fast into resistance, we might get profit-booking or a cooling off either late Thursday or early Friday.
Now, the big event: Friday, March 14 – there’s a Full Moon (Purnima) and a Lunar Eclipse in the early hours . In the Hindu calendar, this is the Phalguna Purnima, which is actually the day of Holi festival (March 14, 2025) – markets are closed on Friday for Holi in India. This is crucial: the major astrological event (eclipse) happens on a trading holiday in India. So the Indian market will react on Monday, March 17 to whatever global impact the eclipse brings. However, the buildup to it (Thu, March 13) is in trading – expect Thursday to be volatile as traders adjust positions ahead of the long weekend and the eclipse. The eclipse’s effects: It occurs with Moon in Virgo (Kanya, conjunct Ketu) and Sun in Pisces (Meena, with Rahu). For India’s chart, this axis falls in houses relating to finance and debt. We might hear news about inflation, RBI policy, or global market cues that could influence sentiment. Possibly, US or global markets might see a sharp move on Mar 14 (which Indian markets will only price in on Mar 17). Key astrological takeaways for traders: Avoid heavy leverage on Thursday, consider hedging if you carry positions over the weekend, and watch global cues on Friday.
Rahu-Ketu influences: Rahu in Pisces often increases foreign inflows in emerging markets (illusion or optimism from overseas), which we have been seeing as FII selling abated last week. Ketu in Virgo can signify unseen risks – we should be mindful of any underlying issues (perhaps a bank NPAs, or global market debt issues) that could resurface suddenly. No major retrogrades now – so no sudden policy reversals; Mercury is direct, ensuring clear communication from companies and govt. Mars in Cancer (debilitated) – oh, Mars actually enters Cancer on March 9 . Mars in Cancer (debilitation sign) in transit could reduce aggression in markets – this might be why panic subsided last week. But Mars can also cause choppiness in banking (Cancer is banks for India’s chart); so bank stocks might be slower. Venus in Aries (Western astrology) implies investors are seeking new opportunities, which fits the shift to midcaps and high-beta stocks we see.
Outlook & Strategy: Indian equities have a bullish bias this week, with Nifty50 likely targeting the 22,750–22,800 zone. Market breadth is strong, indicating undercurrents of a sustained rally. We expect early-week gains, potentially slowing near resistance mid-week. Given that Friday is a holiday (and an eclipse), traders may lighten up on Thursday, which could cap the weekly advance. Key stocks to watch:
- Reliance Industries (RIL) – momentum is strong (it helped Nifty crack 22,600). It may continue to outperform; any dip in Reliance towards ₹ support can be bought for potential new highs.
- ONGC & Oil India – benefitting from higher oil, could see further upside.
- IT Sector (Infosys, TCS) – with global tech stable, IT stocks might extend their rebound. Look for Infosys to move towards ₹ level.
- Banks: SBI, ICICI Bank should stabilize; Kotak Bank showed strength and could lead if banking picks up. HDFC Bank was subdued – might play catch-up.
- Adani Twins (Adani Ports, Adani Ent): extremely volatile but have short-term uptrend; suited for traders – they could rally further on any positive news, but use strict stop losses given their sensitivity.
- Defense stocks: Keep an eye on names like Bharat Dynamics (BDL), GRSE, etc., as defense theme was hot last week – could continue if any defence orders or news comes.
- Automobiles: This sector hasn’t been mentioned much – possibly steady. Look at Tata Motors, Maruti around monthly sales data or any EV news.
Strategy: Traders could maintain long bias on Nifty and large-caps at least until mid-week. Any intraday dips toward 22,400–22,500 (if they occur) are likely good buying opportunities, as the technical setup suggests dips will be bought . One could position for Nifty to reach ~22,750 and then consider partial profit-taking. It might be wise to trim positions by Thursday’s close given the long weekend and eclipse – re-entering on Monday (Mar 17) when there’s clarity. For positional traders, keep a stop-loss just below 22,250 on Nifty longs (to protect against any abrupt change in trend). As sentiment is bullish, also look at high-beta midcaps for outperformance – but again, consider booking profits before the holiday.
In summary, the Indian market looks upbeat thanks to improving technicals and supportive astro factors (no adverse cosmic events until the eclipse, which is a known risk that can be managed). General market direction: likely upwards bias early week, possibly a flat or choppy session on Thursday. Key stocks in Oil & Gas, IT, and select high-beta names should do well – these can be accumulated on minor dips. Just remain attentive to global signals, especially on Friday when Indian markets are closed – that global move will set the tone for the following week. Enjoy the Holi break and be prepared for a colorful market next week!
Conclusion: This week’s cross-market analysis indicates a cautiously optimistic tone across assets. Technicals are aligning with astrological tailwinds in many cases: Gold eyes a breakout as Jupiter favors it, forex majors euro and pound are riding momentum while Moon cycles hint at mid-week checks, yen strength fits the risk moderation signals of Saturn, Aussie struggles but could stabilize if risk-on blips occur, Bitcoin coils before a potentially explosive eclipse-driven move, and Indian equities regain strength into a festival-shortened week with broad sector support. Traders should leverage the technical setups but also heed the cosmic calendar – particularly the March 14 lunar eclipse, which is the wildcard for all markets. Keeping positions nimble and managing risk around that event will be prudent. Overall, blending the science of charts with the art of the stars suggests strategies of buying on support and selling near resistance, timed with planetary transits, could yield success in the week ahead. Clear trends and a bit of celestial insight pave the way – happy trading and investing!
