Mean Reversion

Dip Buy Guard

This strategy attempts to buy temporary pullbacks during broader upward trends. It combines RSI oversold conditions with a long-term trend filter to avoid buying assets during major downtrends.

Core idea

Markets sometimes overreact in the short term.

After several strong downward moves, some assets temporarily rebound even while the longer-term trend remains positive.

This strategy attempts to capture those short-term recoveries. It does not try to predict long-term market direction.

Indicators used

RSI compares recent upward and downward price movement.

Lower RSI values suggest strong recent selling pressure. The strategy uses RSI to identify potentially oversold conditions.

Typical interpretation:

Risk considerations

Oversold conditions can persist longer than expected.

  2. RSI drops below 30
  3. Price still remains above the long-term trend filter
  4. The strategy opens a long position
  5. Price stabilizes and rebounds
  6. RSI recovers above the exit threshold
