Investors often find Bollinger Bands very useful because they show when index
or stock levels are reaching extremes.
This is accomplished because Bollinger bands (on a 20-2-2 setting) measure
the tick action against two standard deviations of action.
Typically, when a tick is above or below the extreme bands, it indicates an
overbought or oversold condition. So traders pay attention when this happens
because a pull back or rise from a low is highly probable.
One way to ascertain if this may be the case, is to look at the level of a
9 day RSI indicator reading. If it is in the 70 to 80 area, then the market
is reaching an overbought area. If that reading coincides with a tick above
the upper Bollinger, then the overbought possibility becomes a higher probability.
((The opposite applies (20 to 30 area) on the down side.))
