New Indicator Added: Bollinger Bands Width

May 26, 2025

We’re excited to announce the addition of a concise volatility gauge to our suite: Bollinger Bands Width. This indicator calculates the percentage distance between a market’s upper and lower Bollinger Bands, helping you spot squeezes and breakouts with ease.

What is Bollinger Bands Width?

Bollinger Bands Width measures the width of the Bollinger Bands relative to the middle band, expressed as a percentage. High values signal rising volatility; low values mark contraction and potential upcoming moves.

How it Works

  • High BBW indicates increasing volatility and confirms breakouts.
  • Low BBW (the “squeeze”) flags low-volatility phases before sharp moves.
  • Use BBW to fine-tune entry timing and volatility-based risk management.
