- Astro tension: Rahu remains in Dhanishta Nakshatra till 5th December 2026 and Saturn remains retrograde till 11th December 2026. As per astrology view, this period may bring wild volatility, unexpected sharp rises and sudden falls, creating stress for traders and investors. Reduce F&O and options trading, avoid overtrading and leverage, and strictly avoid margin trading and investment funding (MTF) till December 2026.
- As per market veteran, recency bias is one of the biggest enemies of traders and investors, especially near market peaks. Smallcaps, midcaps, SME IPOs, Defence, Railways, Solar, new-age stocks, EMS, chemicals and data-centre themes were once market favourites, but interest has now shifted. Base metals, PSU Banks and bullion are currently among the running themes. The lesson is simple: anything in excess can become harmful. The frenzy in SME and highly overpriced main-board IPOs has destroyed significant retail wealth, with Ola Electric Mobility and many other IPOs now trading well below their issue prices. Always prioritise capital protection and plan for sustainable earnings rather than chasing the latest theme.
