Dip Buying Code

Since April 20, 2025, a simple strategy—buying a 0.2% intraday dip in Nasdaq futures and holding until 4:55 PM EST—has delivered some of the strongest hypothetical returns I’ve ever observed.
While similar patterns briefly emerged during the March 2020 recovery, nothing compares to the persistence and strength of the current rally.
But the takeaway isn’t just the strategy—it’s the market behavior. The relentless demand to buy even the shallowest pullbacks reflects one of the most aggressive "buy-the-dip" environments in recent memory.
Understanding this shift in market psychology may be more valuable than the trade setup itself.
(The actual value was 0.21% which is a 50 point move normalized for the current price).
