The width of the daily Bollinger Bands has now contracted to just over 4% separation between them. This rare occurrence has only appeared a handful of times over the last several years, each time resulting in some of the largest moves in the crypto space.<\/p>\n

Bollinger Bands Contract To Level Preceding 50% or More Moves in BTCUSD<\/h2>\n
Bollinger Band data indicates that the bands on daily timeframes have reached a width of just over 4% distance between them.<\/p>\n
Bollinger Bands are a popular technical indicator designed by John Bollinger<\/a>. It consists of a moving average and two standard deviations that widen and tighten based on volatility. When volatility is non-existent, the bands “squeeze” signaling a massive move is coming.<\/p>\n
With Bollinger Bands this tight, there’s no denying a powerful breakout is near. But just how large of a move should traders expect?<\/p>\n
According to past data<\/a>, Bollinger Bands tightening this much has led to between a 50% and 85% movement. The most recent instance was in November 2018 and sent Bitcoin tumbling to its bear market bottom at $3,200.<\/p>\n
Before that, there were two explosive moves that kicked off Bitcoin’s bull market in 2017. If Bitcoin truly is about to enter a new bull market, the eventual breakout should move up through resistance at $10,000.<\/p>\n
If the cryptocurrency breaks down, it could result in the asset setting a new bear market low. The asset has a lot further to fall than it did in November 2018, however, the situation is more dangerous now<\/a>.<\/p>\n
The pandemic is picking up in severity, and the stock market is at risk of collapse. The cryptocurrency failing here would set a lower high, following a lower low on weekly timeframes.<\/p>\n
A lower high followed by a lower low is the pure definition of a downtrend<\/a>. Bitcoin falling back into a deeper downtrend when the asset is expected to start a bull run could be disastrous for investors who may finally throw in the towel.<\/p>\n
