BTC's Bollinger Bandwidth just hit an all-time low on the monthly timeframe. For those tracking technical indicators, this is massive.
What does this mean? When bandwidth compresses to historic lows, it typically signals an upcoming period of extreme volatility. The tighter the squeeze, the more explosive the breakout tends to be.
Looking at monthly data spanning from 2011 through 2025, we've never seen the bands this narrow. Previous major compressions preceded some of Bitcoin's most significant price movements—both up and down.
The million-dollar question: which direction will it break? Bulls argue the macro setup favors upside. Bears point to overhead resistance. Either way, this kind of compression rarely stays quiet for long.
Anyone else watching this indicator closely? Monthly charts don't lie—something big is brewing.

It's this indicator again, every time it compresses it says it will explode... and the result? I bet five bucks it will be sideways for three months.

Compressed to this extent... why does it feel like every time it says it will break, it ends up going sideways for three months?

Historical data shows that this kind of compression is often a signal before a big pump, but how it breaks out depends on the macro funding situation... What happened last time it was this tight? Just look at the Candlestick chart to find out.

A historic low... This time it's really going to move, it feels like it's been held back for too long.

Tsk, it's compressed to a historic low again. I've heard this trap quite a few times... But to be honest, it's a bit oppressive with the monthly line being so tight.
