Range Indicators

Range indicators are technical tools investors use to measure the volatility of a security's price movements. Bollinger Bands are a popular range indicator that uses a given number of standard deviations from a moving average to create upper and lower bands. As a measure of volatility, these bands adjust according to market conditions by widening during more volatile periods and contracting during calmer ones. Conversely, envelopes are range indicators consisting of two Moving averages, one shifting upward and the other downward. These indicators give investors valuable insights into potential price breakouts and reversals, helping them make informed investment decisions.
