Massive market selloff creates a discount — buy the dip on broad index funds
Created
Thesis
Markets often overreact to sudden bad news, sending prices down much further than justified in a single day. With $1.8 trillion wiped out on Friday, a lot of fear has already been priced in. Experts like Goldman Sachs see a clear path for the market to recover and reach new highs, making this a classic discount buying opportunity. Buying high-quality index funds after historic drops has historically been a profitable strategy as prices snap back.
Strategy approach
Build a mean-reversion strategy for SPY on the daily timeframe. Enter a long position when the price closes below the lower Bollinger Band (20, 2) and RSI(14) is below 30. Exit when the price touches the middle Bollinger Band (20-day moving average). Include a 5% stop loss.
