Does the 'End-of-Period Curse' Really Exist in Trading?
Traders often notice a peculiar pattern: markets tend to move unfavorably right at the closing of trading periods—whether it's the last day of a week, month, or quarter. Some blame liquidations, others point to institutional rebalancing, and a few chalk it up to pure coincidence.
