Squeeze Momentum on the live order book chart in Swiftedge Depth

What it shows

The squeeze (Bollinger Bands inside the Keltner Channel) and its momentum histogram in a pane, with the same momentum on the real cumulative delta, the squeeze box on the price chart with the real orders and liquidations just outside it, and the squeeze on 5m, 15m, 1h and 4h.

How to read it

A squeeze is on when the Bollinger Bands sit inside the Keltner Channel, so volatility is compressed. The histogram in the pane shows momentum, with the same momentum computed on the real cumulative delta next to it. The box on the chart marks the squeeze with the real orders and liquidations just outside, and the table shows the squeeze on 5m, 15m, 1h and 4h.

What it can't tell you

A squeeze says volatility is low, not which way it will expand.

FAQ

What is a squeeze?

Bollinger Bands inside the Keltner Channel: unusually low volatility.

What do the release marks mean?

The squeeze ended on that candle: the bands moved outside the channel.

Why momentum on CVD as well?

It shows whether aggressive flow pushes the same way as price during and after the squeeze.
