      • Bottomline

      In 1980s, John Bollinger, a well known technician in the market developed a technical indicator named Bollinger Bands. This indicator was developed by using moving average with two trading bands above and below it. The upper band is 2 standard deviation above the moving average and similarly lower band is 2 standard deviation below the moving average. This makes these bands more dynamic and adaptive to volatility. Let us discuss about this technical indicator in details:

      What is Bollinger Bands?

      Bollinger Bands consists of the centre line and two price bands above and below it. The centre-line is the 20 period moving average and the bands are two period away from the band either side.  This would be clearer from the image below:

      bollinger bands of NIFTY 50

      Standard Deviation is the mathematical formula for calculation of standard deviation which measures volatility, representing how the price of the stock can vary from its true value. Bollinger bands adjust themselves to the market conditions by measuring the price volatility.

      Bollinger Bands Formula

      Middle Band= 20 day Simple Moving Average

      Upper Band= 20 day SMA + (20 day standard deviation of price * 2)

      Lower Band = 20 day SMA – (20 day standard deviation of price * 2)

      Trading with Bollinger Bands

       Mr. John Bollinger described following important interpretation of Bollinger bands in projecting price trends:

      a. Expansion and Contraction of Bollinger Bands

      When the Bollinger bands expand, it indicates that the volatility has increased in the stock or index. Similarly when the Bollinger Bands contracts, it indicates that the volatility has reduced in the stock or index. Expansion and contraction of Bollinger bands are cyclic in nature.

      b. The upper band act as an area of support and lower band act as an area of resistance

      In the trading market,  when the price bounces back from the upper Bollinger band then the band can be considered as an area of support. If the prices breach the support and the next 2-3 candles confirm the move in the upward direction then it is considered as upward trend. Similarly when the prices price bounces back from the lower Bollinger band then the band can be considered as an area of resistance. If the prices breach the lower trend and the next 2-3 candles confirm the move in the downward direction then we can say that the trend is downtrend.

      In the above daily chart of Sunpharma we can see how upper and lower Bollinger Bands acted as resistance and support and how the breach of the resistance with volume indicated the confirmation of uptrend.

      c. When prices move outside the band, it signifies breakout, hence continuation of the trend.

      Whenever the price moves out of the band, we can expect the continuation in the trend whether uptrend or the downtrend. This can be seen from the chart below:

      Close Crossing Lower Bollinger Band from Above:  This means that the price has crossed lower band from above and closed below it.  It is a Bearish signal for a continued downtrend.

      Close Crossing Upper Bollinger band from Above: Price has crossed upper band from above and closed below it. It signifies a reversal of the uptrend.

      Close Crossing Lower Bollinger Band from Below: Price has crossed lower band from below and closed above it. This is a Bullish signal for reversal of downtrend.

      Bottomline
