Donchian Channels mark recent highs and lows over a chosen period. Prices that pierce those boundaries and then reverse can signal exhaustion. This strategy watches for closes back inside the channel after a brief breakout.

Testing indicates an average annual return of about 157%. It performs best in the crypto market.

If the previous close was below the lower band and the current close moves back above it, a long trade is taken. Conversely, if the prior close was above the upper band and price falls back inside, a short is opened. A percentage stop manages risk in both cases.

By trading only after a failed breakout this approach attempts to capture false moves that quickly retrace.
