Ev here. Been trading crypto since 2017 and later got into stocks. I have 3 board exams on financial markets and studied economics from a top tier university for a year.
When it comes to Technical Indicators, speculators have many options to choose from. Do you prefer to keep it simple? If your answer is YES, the Bollinger Bands are for you.
First, a little about the genius behind it, John Bollinger. Bollinger Bands were created by John Bollinger in the 1980s. He is still very much alive and well, and very active on Twitter. He constantly engages the community through seminars and interviews. As you can see, I'm a huge fan of his work! This revolutionary technical indicator offers insights into price potential and possible volatility.
Let's get technical : The higher the price action trades at the top/ upper part of the BBands, the more volatility and volume you can expect. The same is also true for the opposite - the lower the price trades on the bottom of the BBands, the more volatility and volume you can expect. It is also true that when the price trades at the top for an extended period of time, the market can be considered overbought; thus it is a good time to consider selling. The same is true for the opposite. When the price trades on the bottom of the Bollinger Bands for an extended period of time, the market is considered oversold and it is a good time to consider opening a position / buying. Important to note that the Bollinger Bands are especially useful and reliable in higher timeframes. To make overbought conditions and oversold more clear, let's take a look at a few examples on SOLUSDT:
From the Solana chart above, we see clearly that when the price action touches an orange band, it is often time to exit / enter. You can wait as the price continues upwards, but the longer you wait, the more your risk increases. Careful not to be greedy, take profits during a bullish cycle.
To make volume in conjunction with BBands more clear, let's take a look here on ETHUSDT:
You'll notice that usually on higher timeframes, the turquoise upper / lower band, is where you start paying attention. This is where firsts profits can safely be taken, with the possibility of the price still wicking towards the orange or red.
To get a little more technical, let's take a look at accumulation options with the Bollinger Bands. When the BBands contract, it is usually before a big move up or down. Now you'll need to view the chart from a macro perspective/ Fibonacci trend based retracement and trend based extension on a weekly chart to get an idea in which direction it may go. This proves another point that often, technical indicators are only useful if used correctly with chart analysis. Let's take a look at a few examples on XRPUSDT :
These are not the Bollinger Bands as they were created y John Bollinger, instead, they have Fibonacci lines added. I prefer to use them this way, it's an improvement on top of the original BBAnds. They become especially useful if you use it with another indicator called Phoenix Ascending. Find below at related ideas a quick guide on Phoenix Ascending.
Have a great weekend 🚀
