Analysis:
- Mean Reversion: The negative z-score across all timeframes indicates that ASML is currently "cheap" relative to XYZ100, aligning with your directional intent (Long ASML / Short XYZ100). The 1h z-score of -1.56 suggests a statistically significant deviation from the mean, providing a strong entry signal for a mean-reversion trade.
- Sentiment Headwinds: While the statistical setup is favorable, note that XYZ100 sentiment is currently bullish following a strong earnings beat and raised guidance. This creates a potential divergence risk where the short leg (XYZ100) may remain resilient or continue to outperform despite the statistical mean-reversion signal.
- Execution: The pair shows solid cointegration on shorter timeframes (1h/4h), suggesting the spread is mean-reverting. Monitor the 1h z-score closely, as it is the most sensitive to recent price action.
