Liquidity Sweep Reversal Strategy with RSI, Volume, and ATR Exits

Summary

This strategy looks for price moves beyond recent highs or lows as possible liquidity sweeps, then enters in the opposite direction when RSI and volume conditions also agree. A move below the recent low can qualify for a long when RSI is below its oversold threshold and volume exceeds its moving average by a multiplier; a move above the recent high can qualify for a short when RSI is above its overbought threshold and volume spikes. The source sets a 20-period high-low lookback, a 14-period RSI, and ATR-based exit distances using a 1.5 multiplier.

The published settings describe a daily ETH futures backtest spanning several months, but provide no performance statistics. The reversal premise is an assumption: a breakout can continue instead of reversing, especially in a strong trend. The document also identifies sensitivity to parameters, anomalous volume, and slippage. ATR-based stops and targets adapt distance to volatility, but the text does not establish that the approach reliably identifies stop hunting or performs profitably across markets.

Key ideas

• The strategy treats breaks beyond recent highs or lows as potential liquidity sweeps.
• It requires RSI conditions and elevated volume before entering against the breakout direction.
• Stop-loss and take-profit distances are set using a multiple of ATR.
• The published backtest settings concern daily ETH futures data but include no reported results.
• Continuing breakouts, parameter sensitivity, unusual volume, and slippage are stated risks.
