EUR/USD mean reversion is crowded because the pair mean-reverts in ranges often enough to fool backtests. Algos typically fade extensions — Bollinger touch, z-score spike, RSI 30/70 — with tight targets back to a moving average.
Failure mode is trend days: ECB surprise, risk-off USD spikes, sustained rate divergence. Stops must exist; “infinite averaging” grids are mean reversion in name only and martingale in practice.
