This is pretty much the story on Steam sales: -
Steam sales
There is always something on sale on Steam. What I say below is what has been. It does not mean there will be no changes in the future.
They start on Monday with the week long sales that these days have over three hundred virtually entirely indie titles on sale.
Then they have the Midweek sale which runs from Tuesday evening to Friday morning. Usually there are a couple of newer games discounted and occasionally a small scale publishers' or themed sale.
The Weekend Sale that runs from Thursday night to Monday morning. This will feature more games on sale and usually a larger publishers' or themed sale. Quite often it has a "free weekend" where you can play a game for free.
There's also a "Daily" sale - one game on sale for 48 hours.
In relation to the big sales: -
Halloween - usually on the weekend closet to Halloween but I think before rather than after. Not an official "BIG" sale but usually has hundreds of games in the sale - unsurprisingly predominantly horror, superhero, and sci-fi titles.
Black Friday Sale - For the last two years this has been the Steam Awards Nominations sale. It ties in with Thanksgiving and "Black Friday" - the last Friday in November. Effectively it has most of the sales that will follow in relation to the Winter sale a month later over a weekend running from Thursday night to Monday morning.
Winter sale - runs from Thursday before Christmas until the Monday after New Year. One of the two huge sales of the year. Massive discounts virtually across the entire range (but don't be stupid and expect big discounts, if any, on the year's best seller currently top of the sales chart). They seem to have settled on the following event with the Winter and Summer sales - if you look through your entire discovery queue you get a trading card. You can do this three times a day during the sale. It usually takes ten different cards to build a badge. If you build a badge you get experience points. Enough experience points you increase your Steam level which primarily increase number of Steam friends you are allowed and what you can use to decorate your profile page. They say that Steam doesn't crash during the first two hours of the Steam Winter and Summer sales. They're wrong.
Lunar (aka Chinese) New Year sale - a Thursday to Monday sale to tie in with Chinese New Year. Middle of February. Likely to get bigger as Steam's Asian customer base expands but a big sale already.
Summer sale - exactly the same as Winter sale but in Summer. Although this was a movable feast they usually do it last weekend in June to July so it precisely mirrors the Winter one.
There is an inbalance in sales in that there are four in four months from end of October to middle of February but only one outside it but the present system seems to have resulted (or at least coincided with) big increases in turnover and has no more complaints than you'd get about anything on Steam so it is likely to persist until something happens to hit turnover or some exec feels the need to prove themselves by changing something.
S.x.
But MOST games go on sale in the Late Autumn, Winter and Summer sales and many games go on sale at Halloween and Lunar New Year (if there is a Lunar New Year sale).
I think my post provides the info that the OP was after.

PC Gamer magazine has reported it too. The answer is very probably, but not definitely, yes.

Read the article. When an article uses the words 'unverified', 'unconfirmed' to describe it's contents. That's basically code for 'we made this ♥♥♥♥ up to justify a click-bait title'. IT's about the same as those 'Bigfoot and Batboy smashed my car. Headlines you see on some magazines.
Go to www.isthereanydeal.com, find the game you're talking about. Register an account and put your price limit for that game onto the waitlist. That it -- whenever the game hits your condition they'll send you a mail.
The only thing undermining my view that there will be a major sale next week is that a lot of games - including Witcher 3 - were on sale this week. Your track record on predictions has been a long way off flawless in the past. Anyway just over five days time we'll know won't we ?
