RSI Mean Reversion at the Bottom of a 52-Week Price Range

Summary

This long only mean reversion strategy requires two conditions for entry: RSI below an oversold threshold and the closing price within the bottom portion of its rolling 52 week range. It exits if RSI reaches an overbought threshold or price recovers to the range midpoint. The method combines momentum exhaustion with the price’s position in its historical range to seek rebounds.

The document lists default thresholds and a backtest configuration for ETH perpetual futures, but gives no actual performance results. Its account percentage sizing and plotted range levels are described in the accompanying discussion, while the supplied code mainly specifies entry and exit logic. The article notes that prices may keep falling in a sustained downtrend, and that slippage, liquidity, parameter sensitivity, and simultaneous signals across assets can affect results. It recommends testing and additional risk controls, but these remain suggestions rather than demonstrated improvements.

Key ideas

• A long entry requires both an oversold RSI reading and a close near the bottom of the rolling price range.
• The position exits on an overbought RSI reading or a recovery to the range midpoint.
• The method aims to capture rebounds and may struggle during persistent downtrends.
• The document specifies ETH futures test settings but reports no performance outcomes.
• Slippage, parameter choices, and concentrated simultaneous positions can increase risk.
