Bollinger Bands (BB) are great as a volatility timing tool. When bands contract -> expansion is coming. They’re just a simple way to time when a move may occur, while the rest of your TA handles direction and levels. See 4H $ETH chart

$ETH all BBs from 1H - 12H reset with this small pump. 1H is beginning to squeeze again (low squeeze) but everything else will take time. >1D are still squeezing

$BTC BBs - 1D low squeeze - 2D / 3D / 4D extreme squeeze $ETH BBs - 1D / 2D / 3D extreme squeeze - 4D low squeeze

$BTC $ETH 1D / 2D / 3D / 4D candles will print in a little over 2 hours

$ETH post-CME open pump. Aggregated spot CVD shows some net taker buying over the last 12 hours, approx 26k~ ETH Aggregated futures CVD spiked with this move up, which makes me think just an exit pump but we’ll see Funding still neutral Aggregated spot orderbooks in bid delta

$ETH 4H BB is so extremely compressed that it’s sitting in the 0th percentile… Haven’t see that since late Jan before market nuked

Very similar setup for $BTC: 1H / 2H / 3H / 4H BBs in extreme squeeze 6H / 12H / 1D BBs in low squeeze 2D / 3D BBs in extreme squeeze

FYI: when squeezes stack across LTF and HTF, it means volatility is compressed system wide. - Lower TF squeezes (1H-4H) -> pressure building now - Mid TF squeezes (6H-1D) -> fuel for continuation - Higher TF squeezes (2D-3D) -> potential for a large expansion When they align

$ETH has a bit of a BB pincer move happening with the hourly LTFs and daily HTFs squeezing the rest. - 1H / 2H BBs squeezing with 3H and 6H compressing but not yet below the squeeze threshold Mid TF 12H compressing but not yet below squeeze threshold 1D in a low squeeze 2D,

$BTC and $ETH are setting up for a big move soon based on the 3D BB squeeze alone. There’s gonna be a day(s) of volatility but whether that’s up or down is unknown atm. The safest bet would be down considering the last 6+ months of trend, but perhaps that’s what most

$ETH ended its second longest red monthly streak at 6 consecutive red candles. Longest streak sits at 7 red candles in 2018

My bad, I should’ve waited for the hourly print. BB is compressed even more

$SOL 6H BB’s in an extreme squeeze

$ETH 1H BB is squeezing. Perhaps some volatility soon?

Crypto Fear & Greed Index since 2018 Current value is 12

$ETH CME $ETH1! still has the massive $235 gap

~100K $ETH net taker spot buys since the 27th of March

Similar situation with $ETH 2D Extreme BB squeeze with similarities to July 2025

The biggest hope for an $ETH bullish move soon is the 3D BB squeeze. Already in an extreme squeeze Looks better than the Jan 2026 squeeze and very similar to the July 2025 squeeze but the latter being in an uptrend off the lows

Despite the dump, $ETH BBs were minimally affected or not at all. 3H/4H/6H/2D are still compressing
