It is possible that the market may trade positively on Thursday. If the opening is downward on Thursday, add long position. By Friday or next Monday, S&P500 can bounce back to 2700. Trend seems to be positive for Friday as well as next Monday-Tuesday.

In the next week, Mars is changing position (on 22nd March 2020) while Rahu is changing navmansha (will conjunct with Jupiter). On 28th, Venus will enter Taurus. On 29th, Jupiter will enter Capricorn. The market will gradually start to improve. This extreme volatility may reduce to some extent by next week. After 1st April 2020, it’ll turn towards a positive trend. From 14th April, the market will enter bullish phase. The effect of coronavirus shall subdue by the first or second week of April 2020. There are two reasons behind this – 1) Rahu will move away from Adra nakshatra & 2) Saturn will change navmansha on 14th April. The effect may be visible a week earlier as well. The fear of coronavirus may reduce. For 2-3 months, market will enter a positive zone.
