The ATR Bands indicator is a volatility-based tool that plots dynamic support and resistance levels around the price using the Average True Range (ATR). It consists of two bands:
Upper Band: Calculated as current price + ATR, representing an upper volatility threshold. Lower Band: Calculated as current price - ATR, serving as a lower volatility threshold. Key Features: ✅ Measures Volatility: Expands and contracts based on market volatility. ✅ Dynamic Support & Resistance: Helps identify potential breakout or reversal zones. ✅ Customizable Smoothing: Supports multiple moving average methods (RMA, SMA, EMA, WMA) for ATR calculation.
How to Use: Trend Confirmation: If the price consistently touches or exceeds the upper band, it may indicate strong bullish momentum. Reversal Signals: A price approaching the lower band may suggest a potential reversal or increased selling pressure. Volatility Assessment: Wide bands indicate high volatility, while narrow bands suggest consolidation. This indicator is useful for traders looking to incorporate volatility-based strategies into their trading decisions
