Channels

Trade using market bounces!

What Are These Bands?

These are dynamic channel bands that adapt to market volatility. The middle line follows the trend, while the outer bands detect extreme price moves where reversals are likely.

The goal: ✅ Catch potential reversals when price pushes outside the band ✅ Trade with the trend using the middle line ✅ Read market consolidation vs breakout

How to Read the Bands

🟣 Purple Arrows = SELL Signal

  • Price spiked above the upper band

  • Reversal or pullback likely → consider short

🔵 Blue Arrows = BUY Signal

  • Price dropped below the lower band

  • Market is oversold

  • Reversal or bounce likely → consider long

📌 Price likes to return inside the band These signals are often mean reversion entries.


Middle Line: Trend + SR

  • The middle moving average line follows the main trend

  • Acts like dynamic support or resistance

  • Can be used for:

    • Trend bias (price above = bullish, below = bearish)

    • Entry point after signal (e.g. reversion to the midline)

    • Continuation confirmation (price staying on one side = strong trend)


Band Width = Volatility Insight

  • Wide bands = High volatility / strong trends

  • Tight bands = Consolidation / ranging market → Often a signal that a breakout is coming soon

Use band width to decide:
