Crypto Mean Reversion System (Pullback & Bounce)

Mean Reversion Theory
The indicator operates on the principle that extreme price movements in crypto markets tend to revert toward their mean over time.
Consider this a valuable aid for your dollar-cost averaging strategy, effectively identifying periods ripe for accumulating or divesting from the market.

The indicator operates on the principle that extreme price movements in crypto markets tend to revert toward their mean over time.
Consider this a valuable aid for your dollar-cost averaging strategy, effectively identifying periods ripe for accumulating or divesting from the market.
Research shows that:
- Short-term momentum often persists briefly after surges, but extreme moves trigger mean reversion
- Sharp drops exhibit strong bounce patterns, especially after capitulation events
- Longer timeframes (7-day) show stronger mean reversion tendencies than shorter ones (1-day)
Timeframe Analysis
1-Day Timeframe
Pullback probabilities: 45-85% depending on surge magnitude
Bounce probabilities: 55-95% depending on drop severity
Captures immediate overextension and panic selling
More volatile but faster signal generation
7-Day Timeframe
Pullback probabilities: 50-90% (higher confidence)
Bounce probabilities: 50-90% (slightly moderated)
Filters out noise and identifies sustained trends
Stronger mean reversion signals due to extended moves
Probability Tiers
Pullback Risk (After Surges)
Moderate (45-60%): 5-10% surge → Expected -3% to -12% pullback
High (55-70%): 10-15% surge → Expected -5% to -18% pullback
Very High (65-80%): 15-25% surge → Expected -10% to -25% pullback
Extreme (75-90%): 25%+ surge → Expected -15% to -40% pullback
Bounce Probability (After Drops)
Moderate (55-65%): -5% to -10% drop → Expected +3% to +10% bounce
High (65-75%): -10% to -15% drop → Expected +6% to +18% bounce
Very High (75-85%): -15% to -25% drop → Expected +10% to +30% bounce
Extreme (85-95%): -25%+ drop → Expected +18% to +45% bounce
The probability ranges are derived from: - Crypto volatility patterns: Higher volatility than traditional assets creates stronger mean reversion
- Behavioral finance: Extreme moves trigger emotional trading (FOMO/panic) that reverses
- Historical backtesting: Probability estimates based on typical reversion patterns in crypto markets
- Timeframe correlation: Longer timeframes show increased reversion probability due to reduced noise
Key Features - Dual-direction signals: Identifies both overbought (pullback) and oversold (bounce) conditions
- Multi-timeframe confirmation: 1D and 7D analysis for different trading styles
- Customizable thresholds: Adjust sensitivity based on asset volatility
- Visual alerts: Color-coded labels and table for quick assessment
- Risk categorization: Clear severity levels for position sizing
