Some traders observe that market volatility spikes during Mercury retrograde phases—communication breakdowns, missed signals, and false moves are cited. Analyses by Market Astrologer found ~23% higher volatility in S&P 500 during retrogrades since 2000. But patterns are inconsistent, and causality is debated. Many use these periods to tread carefully rather than bet big directional momentum.
