October is traditionally known as a month in which stocks tend to face challenges, and the history of the financial market offers interesting insights into this phenomenon. In fact, when we analyze the historical data, we can observe that in 7 out of the last 18 bear markets (or near-bear markets), the downward trajectory ended precisely in the month of October.

One particularly noteworthy point is October 27, which has gained prominence on the investors' calendar. On this date, the S&P 500, an important benchmark in the financial world, has often reached its lowest point since 1950, marking the beginning of a subsequent recovery cycle. This pattern sets a potentially promising turning point for investors seeking buying opportunities in a declining stock market.
Furthermore, there is another trend worth noting: when stocks experience a drop in October but still have a positive year-to-date performance, November often stands out as a month of recovery. In the last 7 instances of this scenario, November has recorded significant gains. This recovery tends to extend into the final two months of the year, with December also demonstrating solid performance in 89% of cases.
Even more notable is the rarity of the scenario where stocks decline consecutively in August, September, and October. Surprisingly, on five occasions, November has stood out as a notably positive month, providing relief for investors amid a challenging period. In addition, December, the last month of the year, often records favorable results in these circumstances, solidifying a successful year-end.
