What are Bollinger bands?
Bollinger bands are the technical analysis indicator that helps you and traders like me to predict the upcoming trends and reversals in the market. this indicator is made from the composition of Standard deviation and Moving average ( Exponential moving average).
How does Bollinger Bands work?
Given above is the example of Bollinger bands. As, I said above this indicator is made from the composition of standard deviation and Exponential moving average. the upper line and lower line as you can see above is this standard deviation meanwhile the middle line is the moving average.
The upper line and lower line are based on the concept of support and resistance. when the price touches the lower line they are supposed to bounce back up and vice versa when the price touches the upper line there supposed to bounce back down. you can also use the indicator to measure the volatility rate of the price. the price channels widen when the price volatility is high and shrinks with the opposite case of low volatility.
