🚨99% of people are using Bollinger Bands (BOLL) incorrectly



You think it's an indicator for buy and sell points,
but those who truly make money only use it to judge one thing:

👉 What stage is the market in right now?

This chart explains the "underlying logic" of Bollinger Bands thoroughly 👇
🧵 (Recommended to save)

① Three lines moving simultaneously up / down

📈📉 This is a trend, not a consolidation

Three lines moving up → Bullish trend
👉 Buy on the middle band retracement, not chasing highs

Three lines moving down → Bearish trend
👉 Short on the middle band rebound, not bottom fishing

❗ In trending markets:
The lower band is not a buy point, the upper band is not a sell point

② Three lines parallel

🔁 This is a sideways market
No trend, only rhythm

Buy at the lower band, sell at the upper band
No breakout trades, no trend discussions

❗ In a sideways market using trend thinking,
You will definitely be repeatedly stopped out

③ Three lines clearly contracting

⏳ This is the night before a trend reversal (most important)

Volatility is extremely low

Bulls and bears are "holding back"

Major trends often start here
❗ The only correct action at this point:
Wait for the direction, do not trade

④ Bollinger Bands suddenly opening

🚀 Market enters an acceleration phase

Opening upward → Bull breakout

Opening downward → Bear plunge

Usually accompanied by: increased volume + extreme sentiment

❗ This is not the phase of bottom fishing or top escaping,
but a phase of trend-following positioning

🔑 A one-sentence summary of the essence of Bollinger Bands

Bollinger Bands do not tell you buy and sell points,
but tell you:
Is it suitable to trade now.

If the direction is correct,
which indicator to use is just a detail.
