According to @rovercrc, Bitcoin's Bollinger Bands are at the most extreme level in history now, signaling an exceptional expansion in band width on BTC price charts, source: @rovercrc. Bollinger Bands use standard deviations around a moving average, so record expansion denotes unusually high realized volatility and a forceful trend phase, source: John Bollinger, Bollinger on Bollinger Bands. Traders typically prepare for two pathways in such regimes: continuation if price closes and rides outside the band (walking the bands), or mean reversion if candles close back inside after an extreme, with position sizing adjusted to volatility, source: John Bollinger, Bollinger on Bollinger Bands. Risk controls commonly include wider stops relative to average true range, reduced leverage, and predefined breakout or reversal triggers to manage slippage and tail risk during volatility spikes, source: CMT Association education on volatility and risk management.
