Utility Volatility Compression Reversion Bounce

Why this matters: When XLU 20-day realized volatility drops below 10% (multi-year low for defensive sector), and the ETF declines 3%+ from recent 20-day high, mean-reversion bias favors 5-10 day bullish rebounds as fear premiums collapse and dividend yields reactivate portfolio flows. Utilities compress during market risk-off; low volatility + small declines create mechanical dividend-capture and rotation-back-to-safety setups.
