𝗦𝗲𝗽𝘁𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿: 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗠𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗗𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗿𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗰𝗸 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁 09/01/25 September is historically the worst month of the year for markets, with the S&P 500 dropping on average by 0.7%. This year, the index has reached a record 6,500 points, but several key events are approaching: jobs report (Sept. 6), inflation (Sept. 11), Fed meeting (Sept. 16–17), and the “quadruple witching” (Sept. 19). Investors are betting 90% on a rate cut after Powell’s dovish pivot, but any surprise in jobs or inflation data could change the outlook. Volatility remains surprisingly low (VIX around 16), signaling confidence despite looming risks. Caution is warranted: a correction in September remains a credible scenario. The “quadruple witching day” refers to a special trading session occurring four times a year (the 3rd Friday of March, June, September, and December). On this day, the following expire simultaneously: - Stock index futures. - Stock index options. - Stock options. - Single stock futures. This concentration of expirations often leads to: - High volatility at the end of the session. - Unusually large trading volumes, driven by investors’ and traders’ adjustments. In summary, it is a technical day when markets can be very turbulent without necessarily reflecting the underlying trend. If you trust a strategy, you need to give it time — not weeks, but months and years. My vision here on eToro is long term, and the past 3 years already prove the strength of this approach. ✅ Stay disciplined ✅ Focus on the bigger picture ✅ Let compounding do its work I truly appreciate every single copier. More capital is joining every day, and I treat that responsibility with great care. If you want a portfolio that is resilient, and built for the future, you’re in the right place. And remember: September may bring turbulence, but the real value comes from consistency over years, not days. ⚠️ Risk Warnings: 𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘪𝘴 𝘢 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘭 𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘨𝘺, 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘢𝘥𝘷𝘪𝘤𝘦.
