Verified: May 27, 2026Lexicon Core Definition
A volatility compression signal that occurs when Bollinger Bands contract inside Keltner Channels, indicating an extreme low-volatility period. When Bollinger Bands subsequently expand beyond the Keltner boundaries, the breakout tends to be significant in magnitude. The squeeze is the one analytical scenario where using both Bollinger Bands and Keltner Channels simultaneously is justified.
