Want to catch explosive breakouts before they go mainstream?
Donchian Channels show you exactly when price breaks above or below its recent range – the perfect signal for momentum traders! 🚀
📊 What are Donchian Channels?
They consist of 3 lines based on the highest high and lowest low over a set period (default: 20):

🔹 Middle Line = (Upper + Lower) ÷ 2
✅ When price breaks above the upper band → bullish breakout signal
✅ When price breaks below the lower band → bearish breakout signal
