TTM Squeeze

The TTM Squeeze flags compressed volatility when Bollinger Bands contract inside Keltner Channels. Learn how to read squeeze setups and the momentum signal.

What is TTM Squeeze?

TTM Squeeze identifies low-volatility periods by detecting when Bollinger Bands contract inside Keltner Channels. The squeeze itself doesn't predict direction — only that volatility expansion is coming — but the accompanying momentum histogram indicates the likely direction of the eventual release. Combine a positive squeeze with positive momentum for high-conviction bullish setups.

How Traders Use TTM Squeeze

  • Squeeze active: volatility is compressed — a larger move is coming.
  • Direction telegraphed by the momentum histogram: positive = likely bullish release; negative = bearish.
  • Squeezes typically fire within 3-6 days: after that the probability drops sharply.
  • Bullish squeeze (squeeze + positive momentum): explosive long setup — especially in low-float penny stocks.
