πŸ“‰ Mean Reversion Effect in Index Trading

🧠 What is Mean Reversion?

The Mean Reversion Effect refers to a well-observed market tendency:
πŸ“Š Stock indices like DAX, Dow Jones, and Nasdaq tend to revert to their average levels after extreme price movements.

πŸ‘‰ Example:
If the Dow Jones rallies rapidly, there is a statistically increased probability of a correction toward its moving average. This isn’t mere coincidence β€” markets often “normalize” after emotional spikes.

πŸ”„ Why Does It Happen?

The core of mean reversion lies in negative autocorrelation β€”
πŸ” Strong upward or downward price moves often lead to an opposing move shortly after.

This contradicts the Efficient Market Hypothesis, suggesting instead that markets remember, overreact, and correct.

πŸ“ˆ How Mean Reversion Applies to DAX, Dow & Nasdaq

Indices tend to:

πŸ•°οΈ Trade in mean-reverting phases between trends

πŸ“Œ Return to key moving averages like the EMA 20 or VWAP

πŸ“Š Normalize quickly after volatility spikes (e.g., economic news)

This makes mean reversion particularly effective for short-term index traders.

πŸ” How to Spot Mean Reversion Opportunities

Look for:

Price stretched far from a key moving average

Overbought/Oversold readings via RSI, Stochastic, or Bollinger Bands

Reversal candles or divergence signals near extremes

Slowdown of momentum after a strong move

πŸ’‘ Strategy: How to Trade It

Mean Reversion strategies work best in sideways or low-trend conditions.

βœ… Long Setup: Nasdaq is oversold, far below EMA 20, forming a bullish reversal and approaching a support zone

βœ… Short Setup: DAX is overbought, hitting a resistance box with fading momentum, showing signs of reversal
