Robb: That should have been I hope your trade pays off.

Horsetrader: Squeezing together of bands usually indicates a big move out of the current range.

We've had price in a narrow $3 range $36-39) for a month, and the bands suggest things are about to change.

Bands then widen, and the price, if bullish, simply follows the expanding band up...or, if bearish, follows the expanding lower band down.

Prices can fall outside the bands, and different stocks react differently to that. With BHP, it means a move back inside within a day or so and sometimes a change in direction.

Major reversals have been in January and March last year, and November last year with prices outside the bands.
