<li>For this September reshuffle, fewer factors affected price impact, so outlier chances were low. Biggest price moves typically occur 30 days before the effective date, especially during LARGE↔MID transitions.</li>
<li>Early positioning for this reshuffle paid off. Past trends suggest price action fades before the effective date, so consider exiting positions by tomorrow or early next week.</li>
<li>Small→Mid migrants historically show weak price impacts, with no clear correlation observed in this September reshuffle either. I'm avoiding those plays targeting the effective date for now.</li>
