BTCUSD showing indecision right now. The Bollinger Bands are tightening, suggesting a potential volatility spike is incoming. Patience is key!

Jennifer, interesting point about the Bollinger Bands. I see they are tightening, as you said. Does this mean a big price move is definitely coming? I'm trying to understand how to use them effectively. I'm a bit worried about the price dropping below 67000. If it breaks that, where do you think it might go? I am trying to learn all this and any help is appreciated. I'm thinking of setting a stop loss around 66500 just in case.
I agree with @jgarcia780's assessment. The tightening Bollinger Bands on BTCUSD definitely suggest a potential volatility increase. I'm also seeing a similar pattern on the daily chart. I'm wondering, though, what specific indicators you're using to gauge the timing of the breakout? I've been burned before by prematurely entering positions based on Bollinger Band squeezes. I think waiting for confirmation, perhaps a clear break above the upper band on significant volume, is crucial. What are your thoughts on using the 20-day SMA as a confirmation level?

@jgarcia780 Spot on, Jennifer. This feels like the calm before the storm. Volatility is gonna be a right pain, isn't it? I'm expecting a proper rollercoaster tbh.
