Touching the Band Is Not a Signal

The bands are a volatility envelope. In a trend price walks the upper band for weeks, and every touch is strength rather than excess.

What the lesson covers

  1. 0:00Price tagging the upper band is the most misread event on a chart.
  2. 0:05How they are built. A moving average, plus and minus two standard deviations of the same window.
  3. 0:14The walk. In a strong trend price rides the upper band. Selling every touch fights the trend.
  4. 0:24The squeeze. Narrow bands say the recent range shrank. It flags a coming expansion, never its direction.
  5. 0:32The circular trap. The bands are made from price, so price reaching them is arithmetic, not evidence.
  6. 0:39Use the bands to read volatility, and something else to read direction.
