According to Compounding Quality on Twitter, data from the past two decades confirms that September has consistently been the worst-performing month for the stock market, with October also experiencing a higher-than-average proportion of market crashes (source: @QCompounding, May 15, 2025). For traders, this pattern underscores the importance of risk management and heightened vigilance during these months. Historically, sharp declines in equities have often triggered increased volatility in the cryptocurrency market, as investors seek alternative assets or liquidate crypto holdings to cover stock market losses. This correlation highlights the need for crypto traders to monitor traditional market cycles closely, especially in September and October, to anticipate potential spillover effects.
