How to Gauge Trends with Bollinger Bands

Jul 9 18:23

The Bollinger Bands are technical analysis tools often used in short-term trading.

Bollinger Bands comprise an upper band, a middle band, and a lower band, forming a channel around the stock price movement.

What do Bollinger Bands tell you?

Technical analysis traders believe that the closer the stock price is to the upper band, the more "overbought" the market; the closer the stock price is to the lower band, the more "oversold" the market.

In addition, the price exceeding the upper band means a higher possibility of drop, and it could be a signal to sell.

The converse is true for price breaking the lower band. 

The width of the band can reflect market volatility, with narrower bands indicating less volatility and vice versa.
