Bollinger Band Indicator and Price Volatility
When trading price volatility is high; prices close far away from the moving average, the trading Bollinger Bands width increases to accommodate more possible trading price action movement which can fall within 95 percent of the mean.
Bollinger Band indicator will widen as trading price volatility widens. This will show as bollinger band bulges around the trading price. When the trading bollinger bands widen like this it is a continuation pattern and trading price will continue moving in this direction. This is normally a continuation trade signal.
The Bollinger bands indicator example explained and illustrated below illustrates the Bollinger bulge.
