How do Bollinger Bands work?

150
Bollinger Bands are a technical indicator used to measure market volatility and identify overbought or oversold conditions. They consist of three bands:

- Middle Band – A 20-period Simple Moving Average (SMA).
- Upper Band – SMA + 2 standard deviations (indicates overbought).
- Lower Band – SMA - 2 standard deviations (indicates oversold).

Key Strategies:

- Overbought/Oversold: Price near the upper band may indicate a reversal down, while price near the lower band suggests a potential bounce.
- Bollinger Squeeze: When bands tighten, low volatility signals a possible breakout.
- Trend Confirmation: In strong uptrends, price tends to "walk the band" near the upper side.

Trade Example:

- Buy when price bounces off the lower band with confirmation
- Sell when price touches the upper band with bearish signals.
- Stop loss: Just below the lower band in a long trade.

Always combine Bollinger Bands with volume, RSI, or MACD for better accuracy!
