Target Bands Indicator Explanation

Target Bands Indicator applies a 55-day moving average calculated based on the weighted close method and uses a deviation in order to plot the upper and lower bands of the indicator.

The upper band represents the overbought area of the market – a place where sellers go for short entries and buyers exit from long trades.

The lower band is the area of the oversold level of the market where buyers would like to go for long entry and sellers would like to exit from short positions.

For better understanding, the indicator plots star circles around the price candles as trade signals.
