Why RSI Mean Reversion Works on AUDUSD

RSI mean reversion buys when RSI(14) drops below 30 and exits above 70. It fails badly in strong trends — a stock can stay overbought for weeks — so it only earns its keep on range-bound symbols or with an ADX/MA regime filter. Tighter thresholds (25/75) reduce trade count but improve win rate.

AUD/USD is a risk-on / commodity-correlated pair. Mean-reversion in quiet sessions, breakout in NY — bots that adapt by session see best results.

Forex pairs trade with tight spreads, deep liquidity, and predictable session-based behavior. The strategy below earns its edge during the active sessions for this pair.

Best For

  • • Range-bound forex pairs
  • • Quiet sessions

Avoid In

  • • Strong trending crypto
