Bollinger Bands: what do you do when price hits the band?

Price touching a band means volatility has stretched — but stretched markets can stretch further. The mean-reversion play (fade the touch) and the momentum play (ride the band) are opposite trades on the same signal.

Which are you?

• how you decide between fading and riding
• the confirmation you need before acting on a band touch
• how bands fit with your other filters

The Bollinger Bands guide covers both interpretations.
