Why Bollinger Band Reversion Works on USTEC
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.
Nasdaq 100 (USTEC) is the high-beta cousin of the S&P. Sharper moves, longer trends, deeper drawdowns. Strong momentum and breakout candidate.
Equity indices reflect aggregate corporate earnings, sentiment, and Fed policy. They trend more cleanly than individual stocks and gap less than commodities.
