pull down to refresh

I only DCA once per month.
I think I need to change from the 1st of the month to around the 10th of the month.
I think this would insulate my DCA buys from all the other activities that happen around the 1st of the month.
My theory is:
  • lots of buying around the 1st of the month drives the price up temporarily
  • after a few days prices drop due to less demand
