The challenge starts from zero, teaching you step-by-step how to master Bollinger Bands!!
Bollinger Bands are a very classic technical analysis tool, with the core logic and common usage as follows:
Basic composition: consists of three lines, with the middle band usually being the 20-day simple moving average (SMA), the upper band is the middle band plus 2 times the standard deviation, and the lower band is the middle band minus 2 times the standard deviation. The upper and lower bands automatically expand and contract with market volatility, exhibiting a "breathing" characteristic.
Trend judgment: when the middle band is upward and the price mostly moves between the middle and upper bands, it indicates an uptrend; when the middle band is downward and the price mostly moves between the middle and lower bands, it indicates a downtrend.
Consolidation: when the three lines are flat, if the price dips near the lower band, consider buying opportunities; if it rises near the upper band, consider selling; suitable for swing trading.
Reversal signals: when Bollinger Bands contract tightly (bandwidth narrows), it often indicates that the bullish and bearish forces are balanced and may be broken, usually accompanied by a volume breakout (opening of the band), which is an important point to watch for trend reversal.
Precautions: in strong trends, prices may continue along the upper/lower band; do not mechanically operate by touching the band in reverse; it is recommended to combine volume, MACD, RSI, and other indicators to filter false signals and implement good risk management.
