On the other hand, Jupiter, Venus and Mercury are strong enough to push the market downwards. Mars is getting the highest percent of shadabala during the last two weeks.
Ganesha says that another big reason of this heavy volatility is the Solar and Lunar eclipse which occurred in the month of February. Transiting Jupiter and Rahu are in conjunction in Libra in Navamansha chart which causes unknown heavy volatility specifically in IT Sector.
