<li>Local insto-driven moves remain tradable — in the March reshuffle, price action started from T–2M, with strongest returns in the T–1M window.</li>
<li>With cap gaps near historical norms, it’s time to pre-position around top/bottom cutline names — then scale up into borderlines as we move into the T–1M window.</li>
