Bollinger Bands

Technical Analysis

Qué significa

Two lines plotted two standard deviations above and below a 20-period moving average. They widen when volatility rises and squeeze tight when it falls.

Ejemplo

Price normally stays within the bands. When it closes outside the upper band at $120, with the middle band at $110, it is stretching -- a pullback or stronger volatility may follow.

Error común de principiantes

Beginners short the upper band and buy the lower band blindly. Touching the band is not a signal; the band can ride along with price for days in a strong trend.
