Bitcoin RSI Strategy on 4-Hour Chart — My Backtested Approach

Backtested BTC strategy using RSI on the 4-hour chart. Buy when RSI drops below 25 (oversold), sell when RSI rises above 75 (overbought). Additional filter: only take long entries when BTC is above the 200 EMA on the daily chart. Backtested over 3 years, average trade holds 2-4 days. Total return significantly outperformed buy and hold. Drawdowns are smaller because you are in cash during major downtrends.
