Bollinger Bands

Definition

A volatility indicator consisting of a middle band (SMA) and upper/lower bands at a specified standard deviation distance. Bands widen during volatile periods and contract during calm ones.

Example

When price touches the lower Bollinger Band, it may indicate the asset is oversold relative to recent volatility.
