October wrapped up with fireworks! $S&P 500(.SPX)$ +2%, $NASDAQ(.IXIC)$ +4%, and $Straits Times Index(STI.SI)$ surged +2.99%! Even $XAU/USD(XAUUSD.FOREX)$ ,after pullback, still ended the month up +4%.
So much for the “October curse” turns out it was Uptober! 🚀
The Magnificent 7 totally delivered:
💥 $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ , $Apple(AAPL)$ , $Alphabet(GOOG)$ , $Amazon.com(AMZN)$ hit new highs
📈 $Microsoft(MSFT)$ hit record close pre-earnings, then cooled off
💸 $Meta Platforms, Inc.(META)$ missed profit expectations and tanked
🚗 $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ ditched its meme-stock mood, quietly down 1% for the month
November Seasonality is Up!
🗓️ Historically one of the strongest months of the year.
Since the April low, $SPX has climbed 29 straight weeks — momentum still strong into month-end.
📊 Stocks with strong seasonal bias:
$AAPL $MSFT $GOOGL $NVDA $TSLA $AMZN $META $NFLX
Not everything had a happy October though
💀 $CME Bitcoin - main 2511(BTCmain)$ kept sliding, and $HSI(HSI)$ dropped -3.53%.
Market breadth hit a record low:
On Oct 29, $SPX gained +0.23%, but only 104 stocks rose while 398 fell (net breadth -294).
November and early December could be rippy.
As market always opened low in recent months, $Invesco QQQ(QQQ)$ saw a bearish reversal after topping at 637 — similar to the late-July post-earnings/FOMC pullback. Short-term target: 20-day MA.

October has been a great month except the last few days for my HK stock which I was glad I took some profit before the tumbling and took the opportunity to also buy stocks. I am hopeful that they will turnaround in nov-dec which will be helpful for me to lock in profits. Although I am optimistic about HK stocks, I have learnt that if is better to lock in profits as volatility is sometimes without reason. I also plan to add to my SREITs for my longer dividend play. Expected further rate cuts will help with capital gain too. Last 2 months I will play safe!
For November, I remain cautiously bullish. Seasonality supports further upside, but with narrowing market breadth, I’ve taken some profits and shifted part of my gains into gold and defensives for balance. The rally is still driven mainly by the Magnificent 7, so I’m watching for sector rotation to broaden participation.
With two months left in 2025, I’ll hold my core AI and tech positions while eyeing a potential “Santa rally.” If momentum stays intact, I’ll add on dips — managing risk carefully while positioning for 2026. It’s all about staying disciplined and letting the trend work in my favor. 💪
