IndicatorsBollinger Bands
Volatility bands that expand and contract around a moving average.
Bollinger Bands are 2 standard deviations above and below a 20-period moving average. When bands are tight (squeeze), a big move is coming. Price touching the upper band doesn't mean "sell" — in a trend, price rides the upper band. A close outside the bands often reverses.
