Highlights the ±2σ to ±3σ range of Bollinger Bands (Titan_Overshoot)
Indicator Overview
Bollinger Bands and Market "Overheating"
Bollinger Bands are an indicator that visualizes the range of market fluctuations using the standard deviation (σ) of prices.
[What Bollinger Bands Display]
- Center Line: Moving Average (typically 20SMA)
- ±1σ: Range where the price stays with 68.2% probability
- ±2σ: Range where the price stays with 95.4% probability
- ±3σ: Range where the price stays with 99.7% probability
In general, when prices reach the ±2σ to ±3σ range, it is considered a “statistically abnormal” level and viewed as a sign of "overheating" or "excessive movement" in the market.
If the price frequently stays in this area, reaching +2σ to +3σ during an uptrend may indicate a short-term overbought (peak) condition, while reaching -2σ to -3σ during a downtrend may indicate a short-term oversold (bottom) condition.
These signals can be important for identifying contrarian trading opportunities aiming for market reversals or corrections.
Automatically Fill Between ±2σ and ±3σ to Visualize Overheating
This indicator automatically fills the area between ±2σ and ±3σ of the Bollinger Bands.
By visually highlighting the “overheated area,” which is often difficult to detect with standard band displays, it allows traders to easily grasp the market's overheating conditions and monitor them efficiently.

How to Use This Indicator
Supporting Profit Taking and Contrarian Strategies
When the price moves within the 2σ to 3σ zone, it suggests a potential short-term market overheating. In such cases, you may consider taking profits on existing positions or entering contrarian trades.
Using it alongside oscillators like RSI or Stochastics can help improve timing accuracy for entries.

Trend Analysis
If the price continues to stay within the 2σ to 3σ range during an uptrend, it indicates a strong trend and increases the likelihood of a long-term trend continuation. If the price enters this zone but doesn't reverse, consider looking for pullbacks and implementing a trend-following strategy.
