๐Ÿ“What is Bollinger Band?

Bollinger Bands is an indicator that was developed by John Bollinger to generate oversold or overbought signals.

Three lines compose Bollinger Bands: A simple moving average, (middle band), and an upper and lower band.

When the price continually touches the upper Bollinger Band, it can indicate an overbought signal.

And, if the price continually touches the lower band it can indicate an oversold signal.

๐Ÿ“Bollinger Band Squeeze breakout strategy

When the price consolidates within a small range, Bollinger's band becomes squeezed. After the BB squeeze breakout, the price normally moves quickly in the same direction as the breakout.

In the image below, we can see BB becomes flat and then after BB breakout, we can see a huge upside rally as marked by the yellow arrow in the image below.

๐Ÿ“Candle outside Bollinger Band

When a candle's open, close, high and low are outside BB, we can expect a reversal from that position.

When a candle's (rectangle box) OHLC is outside lower BB, we can see an upside movement as marked by the yellow arrow in the image below.

When a candle's(Rectangle box) OHLC is outside the upper Bollinger band, we can see a downside move as marked by the yellow arrow in the image below.

Higher the timeframe, the better the result.

๐Ÿ“Bollinger band + Divergence

When there is a bullish divergence at the lower Bollinger band, the price will reverse and move upside as shown in the image below by the yellow arrow.
