Bearish Peak-Short Strategy

Strategy Name: Short Peak Entry


Strategy Description: Short Peak Entry is a tactical mean-reversion short strategy engineered to exploit overextended price action in high-momentum conditions. This setup targets sharp intraday pullbacks triggered by volatility spikes and momentum exhaustion, making it ideal for disciplined traders seeking consistent, short-duration trades against extreme market sentiment.


Core Setup:

Reversal Signal: Initiates a short position when the price crosses below the upper Bollinger Band (20-period, 2 standard deviations) and the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is above 70, signaling a potential overbought condition and loss of upward momentum.

Execution Time Frame: 15-minute chart for timely entry and rapid trade resolution.

Profit Target & Risk Control:

  • Take Profit: +0.75%

  • Stop Loss: -1.00%

A 1:1 reward-to-risk profile is optimized for high win-rate precision setups where reversion probabilities are elevated.


Ideal For:

  • Traders focused on mean-reversion plays in intraday environments

  • Assets prone to volatile overbought reactions (e.g., momentum stocks, crypto pairs)

  • Systematic scalpers seeking tight, repeatable entries during exhaustion phases


Short Peak Entry offers a systematic edge for traders capitalizing on overstretched moves, leveraging volatility and momentum metrics to time precise reversals with disciplined risk management.
