Bollinger Bands® are one of the most widely used volatility indicators, providing traders with a framework to identify both breakout opportunities and potential reversals. Built around a 20-day moving average, the Bands extend two standard deviations above and below price, creating a dynamic channel that reflects volatility. When price moves beyond these boundaries, it often signals a strong trend in progress. Yet, as every trend carries “the bend at the end,” traders must also weigh the probability of a reversion back to the mean.

In this webinar, Barchart’s Senior Market Strategist John Rowland will introduce our new Breakout and Reversal Screener, which pinpoints stocks pushing beyond the Bands or crossing back inside. Along with key metrics like Bollinger Band Percent (BB%), the screener makes it easy to spot actionable setups.

For options traders, these signals translate directly into strategy selection: breakouts often align with long-volatility plays like straddles, strangles, or debit spreads, while reversals can favor short-volatility approaches such as credit spreads. You’ll learn how to apply these tools to structure trades with defined risk and probability in your favor. Join us to learn how to pair Bollinger Band probabilities with options strategies and take a structured approach to trading both trend and volatility.
