New Indicator Added: Squeeze Momentum Indicator
May 23, 2025
We’re excited to announce the addition of a powerful new indicator to our suite: the Squeeze Momentum Indicator. This widely-used momentum indicator is now available in our library of indicators and can be used with any of your supported symbols.
What is the Squeeze Momentum Indicator?
The Squeeze Momentum Indicator, developed by John Carter, is designed to identify periods when volatility is low (a “squeeze”) and a potential breakout is likely. It combines Bollinger Bands and Keltner Channels to detect the squeeze, and uses momentum to predict the direction of the breakout once the squeeze ends.
This indicator is especially popular among traders looking to time explosive moves following consolidation phases — making it a great tool for both swing and intraday strategies.
How it Works
- When Bollinger Bands are inside Keltner Channels, the market is in a squeeze — indicating low volatility.
- When the squeeze releases, a breakout move often follows. The squeeze histogram shows the direction and strength of momentum during and after this release.

The Squeeze Momentum Indicator is live and ready to use today. It’s included in all pricing plans and can be combined with any of your existing strategies or signals.
