Bollinger Band Squeeze

The Bollinger Band Squeeze occurs when the Bollinger Bands contract sharply because BandWidth falls to its lowest level in several months. It signals a low-volatility period that is statistically followed by a strong breakout — the direction is not knowable in advance, but the move is close to inevitable. The squeeze alone is only 50–55% reliable; with a macro calendar and ADX above 25 it rises to roughly 65–70%.
