USDX Regime Pivot Reversion

Family: hybrid · Regime: trending · Complexity: high · Asset classes: Forex (USD Majors) · Timeframes: M30, H1

Thesis

USD-based currency pairs exhibit predictable mean-reversion behavior at daily pivot levels when the broader US Dollar Index (USDX) provides a macro-regime tailwind and the specific pair's relative strength divergence is confirmed by multi-currency momentum. By using the 'Visible Range' as a risk boundary, the strategy adapts to current chart-perceived volatility.

Components

• USDX (US Dollar Index) Candle Indicator (regime) — Establishes the macro USD regime; only trades when the USD is trending relative to its moving average cloud.
• Currency Strength Matrix (All) (direction) — Ensures that the specific currency pair selected has a genuine strength/weakness divergence across the broader market.
• Pivot Points (Classic) (entry) — Provides high-probability liquidity zones for entries based on institutional floor-trader levels.
• CCI / Connectable [Azullian] (exit) — Signals momentum exhaustion for exiting positions when the move has reached a statistical extreme.
• Price Line and Visible Range High-Low (risk) — Uses the visible chart boundaries to dynamically set stop-losses based on local structural extremes.
• Momentum Oscillator (confirmation) — Confirms that price velocity is moving in the direction of the trade after a pivot bounce.

Known failure conditions

• Prolonged periods of USDX 'flat-lining' between the 13 and 17 MAs.
• Disconnect between USDX movements and individual component pairs (e.g., EURUSD idiosyncratic news).
• Visible Range HL logic fails if the chart zoom is changed during an active trade (UI-dependency).
