Bollinger Band

Bollinger Bands rely on standard deviations to gauge market ups and downs. This indicator measures volatility. The bands adjust on their own. They spread out when action heats up. They tighten when things calm down.

Bollinger Bands include three lines that cover most price moves. The middle line tracks the medium-term price trend. It often uses a 20-period simple moving average. This line forms the base for both the top and bottom lines. The space between the top line and middle, or bottom and middle, depends on how much the market swings.

As the price activity is covered by these Bollinger Bands, traders may utilize them to establish stop losses just outside of the band levels.
