This means it has an upper and lower boundary to help you identify potential
“overbought and oversold” levels.

Price reversals usually occur when there’s an extreme move into market structure

An example…
“Oh, the price has closed outside of the Lower Channel Line. Time to buy!”

from it.

downtrend
