Bollinger Bands

Bollinger Bands are a technical analysis tool used to assess the volatility and price trends of an asset, including cryptocurrencies. The tool consists of three lines: a simple moving average (usually set at 20 periods) and two bands plotted at a standard deviation above and below the moving average. The width of the bands expands when volatility increases and contracts when volatility decreases. Traders use Bollinger Bands to identify overbought or oversold conditions, potential price breakouts, and trend reversals. For example, if the price of Bitcoin breaks above the upper Bollinger Band, it could indicate that the asset is overbought and might experience a correction soon. Conversely, if the price breaks below the lower band, it might signal that the asset is oversold, and a price rebound could be on the horizon. Bollinger Bands are a popular tool in technical analysis due to their versatility and ability to adapt to different market conditions.
