Backtest Hypothesis
The "RSI Oversold / Exit-50" strategy on BNTUSDT from 2022–2025 shows significant underperformance, with a -40% total return and an annualized return of -3.9%. The strategy’s deep drawdown of ~74% and a negative Sharpe ratio (-0.12) highlight the challenges of relying on RSI alone in a volatile asset like BNT. While RSI oversold levels did trigger entry signals, the lack of robust risk management led to frequent losses. The current bearish momentum and RSI in oversold territory could offer a potential entry point, but traders should consider augmenting the strategy with tighter stop-losses or additional confirmation filters to mitigate downside risks.
