Bollinger Bands: Bollinger Bands are composed of three lines that are plotted on a price chart. The upper band is two standard deviations above a moving average, the lower band is two standard deviations below the moving average, and the middle band is the moving average itself. The bands expand or contract based on market volatility. When the price is within the upper and lower bands, it is considered a range-bound market.

Relative Strength Index (RSI): RSI is a momentum oscillator that compares the magnitude of recent gains to recent losses in an attempt to determine overbought and oversold conditions of an asset. It is plotted on a scale of 0 to 100, and values above 70 indicate an overbought market while values below 30 indicate an oversold market. In a range-bound market, RSI typically oscillates between 30 and 70.

Moving Averages: Moving averages are used to smooth out price fluctuations and identify the direction of the trend. They are calculated by taking the average price over a certain period of time. The most common types of moving averages are the simple moving average (SMA) and the exponential moving average (EMA). In a range-bound market, the price typically oscillates around a certain moving average.

Average Directional Index (ADX): ADX is a trend strength indicator that measures the strength of a trend, whether it is up or down. The ADX is plotted on a scale of 0 to 100, with values above 25 indicating a strong trend. In a range-bound market, the ADX tends to be low, typically below 25.

Stochastic Oscillator: Stochastic Oscillator is a momentum indicator that compares the closing price of an asset to its price range over a certain period. It is plotted on a scale of 0 to 100, with values above 80 indicating an overbought market while values below 20 indicate an oversold market. In a range-bound market, the Stochastic Oscillator typically oscillates between 20 and 80.

What do you mean by range-bound trading?

Range-bound trading is a type of trading strategy that involves making trades within a predetermined price range. The range is determined by a support and resistance level, which are the points at which the price of a security stops moving up and down respectively. Range-bound traders look for opportunities to buy at or near the support level and sell at or near the resistance level. This type of trading is usually done in the short-term, as traders look to capitalize on short-term price movements within the range.

Range-bound trading can be profitable if the trader is able to identify the range correctly, as well as the direction of the trend within the range. Traders also need to be aware of any potential breakouts from the range, as these can signal the end of the range-bound trading and the start of a new trend. To maximize profits, range-bound traders should also use stop-loss orders to protect themselves from large losses if the market moves against them.

Average True Range:

Average True Range (ATR) is a technical analysis indicator that measures the volatility of an asset over a specified period of time. It is calculated by taking the average of the true range of an asset's price movement each day, which includes the difference between the high and low prices as well as any gaps. Traders use ATR to determine the appropriate stop loss and take profit levels for their trades based on the asset's volatility.

Donchian channels  :

Donchian Channels is a technical analysis indicator that shows the highest high and lowest low prices over a specified period of time, typically 20 days. It consists of an upper channel line representing the highest high and a lower channel line representing the lowest low. Traders use Donchian Channels to identify potential breakouts or breakdowns in price trends and to set stop loss and take profit levels.

IV Skew

IV Skew is an options trading indicator that measures the difference in implied volatility between options contracts with different strike prices but the same expiration date. It is calculated by comparing the implied volatility of at-the-money options to the implied volatility of out-of-the-money options. A positive IV Skew suggests that the market is expecting a potential large move in the underlying asset's price, while a negative IV Skew suggests a more stable price range. Traders use IV Skew to gain insights into market expectations for future price movement and to inform their trading decisions.


Index PCR OI :

Index PCR OI is a sentiment indicator used in technical analysis. It measures the ratio of put options to call options for a particular index. A high Index PCR OI value suggests bearish sentiment, while a low value suggests bullish sentiment. Traders use this indicator to gauge market sentiment and make informed trading decisions.
