XRP Daily Pullback-to-20SMA Long — Buy-the-Dip in Confirmed Uptrend

A LONG-ONLY pullback strategy on XRPUSDT.BINANCE perpetual futures (Binance USD-M) using DAILY bars. Unlike every other long strategy in the current pipeline (which enter on momentum CONFIRMATION via breakouts, golden crosses, or trend continuation triggers), this strategy enters on a PULLBACK during an already-confirmed uptrend. The mechanism: when XRP is in a confirmed uptrend (200-SMA rising, 50-SMA > 200-SMA, price > 50-SMA), wait for price to retrace down to touch the 20-SMA, then enter long on the first day price closes back above the 20-SMA. This is the classic 'Two-Bar Pullback' / Raschke 'Holy Grail' pattern (Raschke-Connors 1996 'Street Smarts', Brooks 2009 'Trading Price Action Trends') which has documented win rates of 55-65% in trending markets because it (a) confirms the uptrend is still intact via the higher-timeframe MAs, and (b) enters at a temporary discount, providing tighter natural stop placement than a breakout entry. XRP is selected because: (1) ZERO existing pipeline strategies trade XRP — pure diversification benefit; (2) XRP has clean 5+ year Binance data (listed 2018, never deprecated, no symbol rebrand); (3) XRP is NOT in any known failure pattern (avoids MATIC deprecation, AAVE/ATOM precision-map gaps, BINANCE_SPOT 4H ingestion issue, Hyperliquid history limit, supp-data coverage gaps); (4) XRP has distinct microstructure (high retail participation, SEC-ruling regime changes 2023, BlackRock spot XRP ETF filings 2025) that produces more orderly pullback patterns than the highly-arbitraged BTC/ETH pairs; (5) XRP has decimal precision 4 (vs BTC's 2), but is in the known precision map. Structurally orthogonal to all 11 strategies in pipeline and all 24+ session failures: not a breakout, not mean-reversion, not cross-asset, not cross-sectional, not calendar, not sub-daily, not accumulation, not supp-data dependent, not options, not cross-venue, not pair. Trade frequency ~15-25 entries/year (low enough that fees don't dominate), holding period 5-20 days (long enough to capture meaningful moves, short enough to produce many closed trades for walk-forward evaluation).
