Bollinger Bands Gold Technical Indicator Described
Gold Trading Bollinger Bands Technical Analysis & Bollinger Bands Trading Signals
Bollinger bands are made up of three lines. Middle line is a Moving Average - 20 gold price period Simple Moving Average - SMA Indicator.
Bollinger bands trading indicators are then drawn at a distance away from the moving average technical indicator. These are the bands which form the lower & upper lines.
The distance where the bands are drawn is determined by another indicator called the standard deviations. Standard deviation is a measure of gold price volatility in the gold market.
Since the gold price volatility keeps on changing, the standard deviation will keep varying, and since Bollinger bands are drawn using the standard deviations the distance of the Bollinger bands will keep on adjusting themselves to the xauusd market volatility.
When the gold prices become more volatile, the Bollinger Bands indicators widen - Bollinger Bands contract during the less volatile periods.
The Three Bollinger Bands are designed to encompass the majority of a gold price action movement. Middle Bollinger Band forms the basis for the xauusd trend, typically a 20 gold price period simple moving average.
This middle Bollinger Band also serves as the base for the upper and lower Bollinger Bands. The upper Bollinger band's and lower Bollinger band's distance from the middle Bollinger band is determined by gold price market volatility. The upper band of this indicator is drawn at +2 standard deviations above the middle Bollinger Band while the lower band is drawn at -2 standard deviations below the middle Bollinger Band.

XAUUSD Price often breaks out in one direction immediately following the Bollinger Bands Squeeze causing many traders to think the gold price breakout will continue in that direction, only for gold price to quickly reverse and make the true and more significant gold price breakout in opposite direction.
Traders acting quickly on the initial gold price break out often get caught on the wrong side of the gold price action - while those traders expecting a "false breakout" can quickly closeout their original xauusd trade positions & enter a trade in the direction of the gold price reversal. It's always good to combine Bollinger bands indicator with other confirmation gold trading technical indicators.
