Separate observation from prediction
A historical difference is not evidence that a future market move is caused by a planetary cycle.
Compare the dates with a baseline
The useful question is whether market behaviour in the selected retrograde periods differs meaningfully from comparable direct periods. Read the observation window and sample, and avoid explaining individual market events after seeing the chart. A striking episode cannot establish a general rule.
Questions about this tool
- Should I stop trading during a retrograde period?

Methodology, sources and authorship
Astro Trader is developed by Víctor Balcells. The stock model weights valuation (40%), quality and trend (30%), and timing (30%). Risk filters and data coverage accompany the result. Crypto and ETFs have their own models; exploratory cycles do not enter the fundamental stock score.
Market data comes from external providers, including Yahoo Finance; insider evidence links to SEC filings. Consult each report's dates, original sources and coverage: a missing observation is not a confirmed zero. AI text is generated commentary, not a statement written or verified by the author.
