Conclusion of year-end gain-taking process is near... or is it?

From past readings, I’ve always assumed fiscal year end bonus cycles at big investment firms helped drive an occasional exodus from markets as managers looked to stabilize their performance. These conditions being further exacerbated in times of volatility and uncertainty.

However, from reading here, it seems my assumption has holes (as often happens with assumptions). As an example, holes around human psychology and band-wagon jumping.

Any other thoughts where my assumptions are flawed?
