Bollinger Bands: Your Crypto Compass 🧭 #LearnTogether
Forget being told what to do! Instead of just giving you a fish, I want to teach you to fish for yourself. 🎣
One of my most loved tools for finding entries is Bollinger Bands. How does it work? It consists of three bands:
🔵 Middle Band: The "typical" price (usually a 20-period Simple Moving Average).
🟠 Upper Band: Two standard deviations above the middle.
🔴 Lower Band: Two standard deviations below the middle.
Why They're Crypto Gold ✨
Think of them as a dynamic price envelope that breathes with volatility:
🔵 Volatility Check: Bands widen? More volatility! They narrow? Volatility is dropping – often hinting at a big move soon! 💥
🟠 Overbought/Oversold: Price hitting the upper band? Might be overbought! Touching the lower band? Could be oversold, signaling a bounce! ⚖️
🔴 Trend Confirmation: In an uptrend, prices often "walk" the upper band. In a downtrend, they might hug the lower band. 🚶♀️🚶♂️
⚪️ "Squeezes" & Explosions: The "Bollinger Squeeze" is key! When bands tighten, it often means a significant price move is brewing. It's like coiling a spring before it explodes! 🚀
My Simple Strategy 📈
I look for these setups:
🔵 Price outside bands: A strong move that might be unsustainable. I wait for price to re-enter, signaling a return to the average.
🟠 Squeezes then expansion: My favorite! I wait for the squeeze, then watch the breakout direction. A strong candle breaking above the upper band after a squeeze often signals a new uptrend.
🔴 "Walking the band": In a strong trend, I use this to confirm its health. Consistent bounces off the middle band or walking along the outer bands tell me the trend is solid. 💪
