The rule
Close at least 20% below the close seven days earlier. Losing a fifth of the price in a week is a washout by most standards, and a common entry point for contrarians.
Occurrences closer than 7 days to the previous one are not counted again. The signal is confirmed at the daily close (00:00 UTC) and returns are measured from that close. Full method.
