ETF Mean Reversion

Bounce the oversold ETF

What it is

Buy sector or bond ETFs that have pulled back sharply but show stabilising fund flows — betting on a snap-back.

When it works

A quality ETF down 15%+ from highs or near 52-week lows with inflows stabilising (not still bleeding).

Why the setup pays

Mean-reversion Price Action plus a flows filter — on ETFs, stabilising inflows are the tell that the washout is ending. Short Swing horizon, since you're trading the bounce.

The market it wants

Recovery / washed-out. Recovery and late-Contraction — washed-out sectors with money starting to return.

What goes wrong

The downtrend resumes; flows were a head-fake; macro deterioration keeps pressuring the sector.

Where it sits in the book

ETF Mean Reversion belongs to Linear Risk Premia & Style Factors, the group whose edge comes from mean or trend of the distribution. That group looks for sustained trend extensions, or clear overextensions for mean-reversion, and its risk profile is dynamic / path-dependent directional.

Run this on the live market

This is the thesis the engine scans with. It reads the whole universe, scores what matches, and prices the structures against fair value.
