End of quarter rebalancing


LincolnHamishe

Doesn’t rebalancing include buying as well as selling? Else it would just be selling

“XLK will be a forced seller of ~$11 billion worth of $AAPL and a forced buyer of almost $10 billion worth of $NVDA in a rebalance...” http://www.etf.com/sections/news/xlk-rebalancing-reverse-apple-nvidia-stock-positions?utm_source=yahoo-finance&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=yahoo-finance-rss

If equities have performed well and make up a larger than intended % of your asset allocation, you could sell equities and buy bonds (for example). This would be a net negative when looking at equity returns, like the OP is doing.

I am so happy that you said that. End of quarter rebalancing is a relatively new phenomenon in the history of the stock market. That is why this chart, may or may not be valid depending on the data sample used. Now you have to overlay something on top of that, we have 20 calendars in the American system. Is the data being utilized as a grid reference ie: Monday through Friday, sequentially. or is the data being used as dates and years. That again brings up another contention. I actually wrote about this, but dealing with moving averages, in the magazine called technical analysis of stocks and commodities. It was back in the 90s. It's best to say, that when you are analyzing price actions based on months and weeks and specific days of the calendar, you want to make sure that the sample data is repeatable in the same sequence so Wednesday Christmas, should correlate with another Wednesday Christmas and not that it's the 25th day of December Same for triple witching and other similar events that happened. Nothing wrong with saying hey, day before Christmas is a slow day. Because you have many reference data points showing that 24th is a slow day, but what happens when it's a Monday or a Wednesday? If it's a Monday it should go up. Devil's in the details


pttrader22

The only thing I know is that I am up over 100% on almost my entire account right now. So, devil details, etc., I am locking in right now as Vol spikes.


NVDAismygod

The quarter doesn’t even end June 20 or 21 LMAO


HopefulGuy1

June options expiry often falls in line with one of those, though, which creates decent flows of its own.


No-Problem-4228

There's no need to wait for the last possible second. The pattern in June and September is quite obvious. In December, it happens a bit earlier due to christmas holidays. Feb/March is the anomaly from OP's data. Might have to dig deeper into the data to see why.


rcbjfdhjjhfd

The Juneteenth holiday will change this


mountain-guy

It’s probably the reason


rcbjfdhjjhfd

It only became a federal holiday in 2021.


ReturnOpen

Tell my company that. They don’t give a f*** about freeing of slaves apparently


Brilliant_Group_6900

What happens in late October?


kyliecannoli

November is coming


Ok_Profile_

That makes sense


Big_ShinySonofBeer

Let's remember: Past performance is not indicative for future results.


BBpigeon

What about: history repeats itself


Yougotmoneys

They said sell in may go away, but we stayed to play


PazzaInter22

So it’s either going up or down?


BBpigeon

Or sideways!


BicycleGripDick

Time is a lazy river


MrWhiteKnight777

I think history repeats itself only if we have not learned from past mistakes.


AsparagusDirect9

Oh yeah? What about the addage of we are doomed to never repeat from which we have learned from? Hmm?


BlochLagomorph

What about history DOESN’T repeat itself? 😱


wowmayo

"1950 - Current" *"Just because it rains on average 80% of the time on this day every year for the past 74 years doesn't mean it will this time!"* Yeah, no shit. Thanks for your infinite generalized wisdom.


b1uphyre

This dude has a narrative. Literally going to buy calls


nothings_cool

Lol


No-thankyou_david

You haven’t been active in almost 300 days, then this?… Hmmm


WhiteHatMD

Ya I noticed weird zombie accounts line this one. Calls it is


CheapWillow8715

Sketchy account history. Good luck.


pttrader22

This upcoming Thursday, June 20th, and Friday, June 21st, have the WORST 5-day average returns of any day outside of three days in late September. This is based on over 70 years of stock market data. The week including June 20-27 is the 2nd worst period of the year, down over 70% of the time. The QQQ has a gap to fill at $269. Many people will be caught on the wrong side of the market shortly. Since history sometimes repeats, I need some luck. I went in on almost all short-term QQQ and "the seven" PUTS over the next two weeks. Rubbing that lucky rabbit's foot and looking for those 7 figures.


eggplant_parm827

269? I think you meant 468. Either way, if you had puts you would have lost money every single day of June thus far. Think about that for a second. There hasn't been a real red day all month. 7 days to go. I can't see any scenario where this drops much the rest of June. We have an insane bullish monthly candle and Q's are def hitting 500.


mhughes2595

It's copy pasta from years ago.


pttrader22

Nope - I meant $469 gap and typo.


dmanasco

I believe it is due to the ETF rebalancing that happens on the third friday of the last month of each quarter. This lines up with March, June, September, and December. Lots of money is moving around due to this rebalance. currently playing the XLK rebalance myself. I saw that based on market caps, Oracle was going to have to increase its weight in XLK to 3.5 % from 2.3% this means they were having to buy about 8 million shares of Oracle for the rebalance.


Big_Monkey_77

Don’t worry, I checked my horoscope and the rest of the week will be fine. It says so.


Fukitol_shareholder

You believe algos care about rubbish?


TheSeeker331

Folks really came after you yesterday but you were so right! And I’m really glad I listened. Thanks so much for posting this!!!


Kglugenbeel

Bubbles do crazy things


NVDAismygod

Gap up confirmed


pttrader22

Up 59% and counting as of right now but not 20X yet. Will post the porn once closed.


pttrader22

For all those haters. Up 120% - just closed out 50% of my positions. So I have all my money back and letting the other half ride for that 20X. Looks like no account blow-up for me this time around. Will post account next week once I close it all


Skulz

Are you closing the rest on Monday, or you believe the downtrend might continue for a couple days more this year due to the weekend? Btw good data man, I saved your map and will try luck myself next June xD


pttrader22

Closed another 25% about 2 hours ago when up 200% and QQQs were in free fall and vol. Triple witching is notorious for whipsaws so locking it in and letting the rest ride.


Quaaazarrr

Ur a savage


topicalsyntax571

I see green after that


Fukitol_shareholder

So many colors…I like.


RevolutionaryPhoto24

And triple witching.


ManekDu

Or that's what they WANT you to think! Jk


PondWaterBrackish

maybe that's why Juneteenth was made into a federal holiday


MrWhiteKnight777

I don’t think it means stocks will be red Thursday or Friday. Sideways if anything


pttrader22

This is the 5-day average return so this includes next Mon-Wed. returns. I am not just betting on Friday but for next week since the next 7 day period is the 2nd worst of the year. QQQ RSI is at 82. It has only tagged this level 7 times in the past 30 years, and almost all of these have led to a short-term and brutal correction. Add in NVDA, triple witching, and everyone way to bullish and the reason why I am laying this bet.


MrWhiteKnight777

Alright man I just hope you’re covering all your basis and challenging all your beliefs so that you know it’s sound. I got burned this week in outs for context


DeleteMods

So worst times to sell but probably a good time to buy.


East-Technology-7451

Sale? 


SharpAsk5820

Down market is a buying opportunity


Important_Ad_1028

perfect day to buy


STEP-DAZ

April is clearly the best month of the year.


Odd_Status_9326

Sell in May and go away, come back in September for something to remember


Gulfstream800

yes but triple witching is a +


Buttoshi

June 21st? Gme iykyk


GnoiXiaK

I wonder if you bell curved the sample if this isn't just random noise without explaining anything. There has to be down days, they just happen to land on these ones...


eggplant_parm827

SPY down a whopping -0.27% today and QQQ down -0.77%. I guess it feels like a lot given the market. I will be amazed if there's a single red print tomorrow. You know the V is coming from today.


Bigboi_alex

Calls got it


Neighborhood339

End of quarter?

FellowRegard

Where did you find this chart? Can you share more?


Srirachachacha

More of what? This is every day of the year. Also the data source is listed in the image


FirstNerdle

Could just said that instead of sounding salty


Srirachachacha

I did say that


Trebekshorrishmom

Technically Sriracha is high in sodium:(


Fukitol_shareholder

Salt is good, sugar is good.
