Bollinger Bands (BB) are a widely popular technical analysis instrument created by John Bollinger in the early 1980’s. Bollinger Bands consist of a band of three lines which are plotted in relation to security prices. The line in the middle is usually a Simple Moving Average (SMA) set to a period of 20 days (the type of trend line and period can be changed by the trader; however a 20 day moving average is by far the most popular). The SMA then serves as a base for the Upper and Lower Bands which are used as a way to measure volatility by observing the relationship between the Bands and price. Typically the Upper and Lower Bands are set to two standard deviations away from the SMA (The Middle Line); however the number of standard deviations can also be adjusted by the trader.
Bitcoin has suffered quite the badgering this last few months, but it may be nearing a pivitol decision in where its direction should go in regards for the next half of 2018. The obvious answer by a technical analysis standpoint is that there is a bounce incoming, probably to the next resistance level around 7.8k The RSI and Bollinger Band indicate a bounce; as ...
Along side my trend channels and range trading, I like to use this set up for some extra pips and when back tested works very well over most months (Will probably move to only this strategy when I can guarantee consolidation is not taking place) It cuts all emotions out of trading when I use it with the right money management.
Everyone should know that moving ...
EOS has had a very nice pump up to $22+ but its been long overdue for a healthy correction.
Looking at TA, it has broken bollinger band middle support line, has topped out with high volume, and has begun its correction.
EOS has been the most highly traded crypto in terms of volume, even beating out bitcoin on bitfinex the past few days - very many people FOMO-ing ...
DASH has been fairly stagnant over the last few days. On several time frames, conditions for a Bollinger Band Squeeze are met.
You can visibly see on the chart that the bands are contracting. Another thing you want to look for is the Bollinger Band Width. On a daily, many look for a 6 month low for the squeeze to be in play.
As this is the 4 hour chart, the ...
Been following ethereum a lot these past few days as it broke out of a triangle but was unable to break the previous point of resistance and has been consolidating since. The bollinger bands are starting to get tight on the 4h, 12h, and 1d chart so within the next week or so I'm looking for a push to around .091 as the initial target and even possibly .095 as a ...
The 12h has a possible symmetrical triangle setup. The bottom is formed from a trendline going back a few weeks and the top from the latest high. This also coincides with the Bollinger Band width being at a lower value than it has been for awhile. The price move from this triangle would be ~$1100.
This idea is based on the green doji last month. If this month will also close green (Has to close over ~$10,350) then we can consider BTC consolidating for a bullish move later this year. So i will be keeping an eye on this and updating as we go along. The important thing is that BTC does NOT push lower than $8,600. It has already pushed it lower than i would ...
Opted for a more reactive BB setting of (10, 1.9) to track the next breakout on the ETH/USD daily chart. The upper and lower bands continue to narrow as low volatility and lack of direction continue. A close above the upper band will confirm a bullish rally, a close below the lower band will confirm a bearish sell-off.
These bands are a great tool to understand ...
I'm seeing 4H RSI that's getting pretty low and Bollinger bands that are very narrow, which leads me to believe we can perhaps expect upward movement in the near term. It's also trading pretty sideways at the moment, meeting resistance at the red horizontal line (550-580 sats). I'm thinking we're getting close, if not at the bottom right now. Not sure about any ...
The moving average at 100 day close and 21 close are beginning to converge amidst resistance test. This local resistance is at $118 and will be approached in in the coming day. If volume picks up and Bollinger bands and Keltner channels stay tight with increased volume, a bull run is possible. If a bounce off the resistance happens and movement breaks the local ...
BITSTAMP:BCHBTC may be forming a bollinger band squeeze setup
As you can see on the chart, the bands are narrowing and the bandwith is low
We want to see the price shoot through the upper band for a long posisition
But ideally, we want to confirm the long position by also breaking vertical support
Let's keep our eyes open on this one!
Let me know what you think.
Hi! :-)
Any constructive criticism is welcome.
My Questions:
1. Would you consider this as a Bollinger squeeze?
2. What trimeframe do you recommend for swing traders?
3. What kind of indicators do you like to use?
Thanks,
Pat

So a correction is in play now, and BTC likes to do 30-40% corrections in this runup since the end of 2015.
This woul coincide with the middel 1d bollinger band, and would allow the 1d stoch RSI to cool down again from overbought levels to oversold levels. This would lead to an exceptional entry point within the next few days to go long.
However, I strongly ...
