🚨99% of people use the Bollinger Bands (BOLL) incorrectly
You think it's a buy and sell point indicator,
but the ones who truly make money only use it to judge one thing:
👉 What stage is the market currently in?
This graphic thoroughly explains the "underlying logic" of Bollinger Bands👇
🧵 (recommended to bookmark)
① Three lines moving up / down simultaneously
📈📉 This indicates a trend, not a fluctuation
Three lines moving up → Bullish trend
👉 Buy on the middle line's pullback, not chasing highs
Three lines moving down → Bearish trend
👉 Sell on the middle line's rebound, not trying to catch a bottom
❗ In trending markets:
The lower line is not a buying point, and the upper line is not a selling point
② Three lines parallel
🔁 This indicates a ranging market
No trend, only rhythm
Buy on the lower line, sell on the upper line
Do not place breakout orders, do not discuss trends
❗ Using trend thinking in a ranging market,
You will definitely face repeated stop losses
③ Three lines significantly contracting
⏳ This is the eve of a trend change (most important)
Volatility is extremely low
Both bulls and bears are "holding back"
A major market movement often starts from here
❗ At this time, the only correct action is:
Wait for direction, do not place bets
④ Bollinger Bands suddenly opening
🚀 The market enters an acceleration phase
Opening upwards → Bullish explosion
Opening downwards → Bearish sell-off
Usually accompanied by: increased volume + extreme emotions
❗ This is not the phase to catch bottoms or tops,
but rather the phase to hold positions in the direction of the trend
🔑 In one sentence, the essence of Bollinger Bands
Bollinger Bands do not tell you buy and sell points,
but rather tell you:
Is it suitable for trading now?
If the direction is right,
what indicators to use are just details.
