USD's Bollinger bands are narrowing
The above is a daily chart of the USDOLLAR. We have added a standard Bollinger band to the chart. We note that the Bollingers are starting to narrow (green rectangle). Generally, markets, by their nature, cannot stay at “rest” for very long. Therefore, the narrowing of the bands is usually the proverbial calm before the storm i.e. it often precedes explosive moves. Unfortunately, the Bollinger don’t tell us the direction of these moves; only that they are due.
