Volume increases, institutions are hopping in the market, funds are making adjustments to their positions within the last 3-5 days to the end of the month and stock prices rise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>But who leads? What should traders focus on? The answer is SMALL CAP STOCKS The end-of-month phenomenon has a more pronounced effect on <strong>small-cap<\/strong> and <strong>low-priced stocks<\/strong>. Research shows that small-cap stocks have considerably higher returns on the last day of the month versus high-cap stocks. This finding is not considered a variation of the historical trend among small-cap stocks to outperform high-caps. Having said that, high-priced or large-cap stocks can also experience the end-of-month effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Below is the performance of  IWM into the end of 4 consecutive months May &#8211; End of August 2021.
