This chart shows the Bitcoin price on a monthly timeframe alongside 2 indicators: Relative Strength Index & Bollinger Bands Squeeze.
-----
Bollinger Bands Squeeze:
For those unfamiliar, the Bollinger Bands Squeeze indicator is simply the standard Bollinger Bands Width (BBW) indicator with the added capability of detecting the "Bollinger Bands Squeeze" as defined by John Bollinger:
The BBW squeeze happens when BBW < all BBWs of the past 125 intervals.
Whenever a BBW squeeze occurs, this means there is low volatility.
A low volatility period is almost always followed by high volatility: a large breakout (with price performing ample movement and exiting the BBW bands) may suddenly occur.
The breakout may be preceded by a fakeout, during which price moves in the opposite direction.
-----
As you can see on the monthly chart, we're currently in a squeeze for the first time since October 2020, when we saw the price breakout and climb by approximately 532% in the 6 months immediately following the squeeze. If history is any indication, it might be time to buckle up!
