Squeeze Momentum
Shows when volatility is unusually compressed (the squeeze) and which way momentum points when it is released.
La idea en pocas palabras
Quiet markets tend to be followed by lively ones. When Bollinger Bands fit inside Keltner Channels the market is "squeezed"; when they move outside again, a move often begins. A momentum histogram shows the likely direction.
Cómo se calcula
Squeeze on (dark dots) when Bollinger Bands (20, 2) are inside Keltner Channels (20, 1.5); off (grey dots) otherwise. Momentum = linear regression of the price minus the midpoint of its 20-candle range and its SMA.
Squeeze = BB(20, 2) inside KC(20, 1.5)
Momentum = LinReg(close − ((HH + LL)/2 + SMA)/2, 20)Cómo usarlo
- Wait for the squeeze to end (dots turn grey), then follow the histogram's side of zero.
Sacar conclusiones
- Bright bars: momentum growing; faded bars: momentum fading.
Ejemplo
ETHUSD H1: six hours of dark dots, then grey dots with a growing green histogram; the breakout above the range follows.
Los precios de los ejemplos son ilustrativos.
Ten cuidado con
- A squeeze can resolve with a false start in the other direction.
Un poco de historia
Based on John Carter's TTM Squeeze ("Mastering the Trade", 2005); this version follows the widely shared open-source form.
