Bollinger Band Reversion for US30 (Dow Jones)

Buy lower band, exit upper band — volatility-adaptive mean reversion.

Why Bollinger Band Reversion Works on US30

Bollinger Bands plot two standard deviations around a 20-period SMA. Price reaching the lower band signals a statistical extreme — about 2.5% probability assuming normality. The strategy fades these extremes. Works on range-bound symbols; layer in a "no entry if bands are widening" rule to skip breakout regimes.

The Dow (US30) is composed of 30 large-cap blue chips. Trends cleanly through earnings season, gaps on overnight news. Trend and breakout strategies are the natural fit.

Equity indices reflect aggregate corporate earnings, sentiment, and Fed policy. They trend more cleanly than individual stocks and gap less than commodities.
