Volatility & Range Filters

The strictest compression signal on the screener: the Bollinger Bands have contracted inside the Keltner Channels and are still narrowing. It tells you a large move is loading — and nothing about which way it resolves.

The full TTM Squeeze guide covers the coil on a real chart, how to trade the release, what the record says across 15,000 crypto squeezes, and how to adjust in a bad market.

The width of the Bollinger Bands as a percentage of price — a direct volatility reading. Small = quiet, compressed price action; large = already volatile. The TTM Squeeze is effectively an extreme version of a small BB Gap.

Use the slider to cap BB Gap — the TTM lists cap it at 12% — to sweep for every quiet coin, not just the ones tight enough to trigger a full squeeze.

The total high-to-low range over the last 3, 7 or 30 days, as a percentage. Small values = tight consolidation over that window; the three timeframes let you demand tightness at different scales — a 3-day pinch inside a 30-day base being the classic setup shape.

These pair naturally with the Inside Bar / Minicoil patterns, which describe the same compression candle by candle.

Average Daily Range: how much the coin typically moves (high-to-low) in a single day, averaged over the last month. It's a character trait more than a signal — a 3% ADR coin and a 15% ADR coin need very different position sizes and stop distances.

Filter high when you want movers, filter low when you want stability. ADR is also your stop-distance yardstick: a stop tighter than ~1 ADR gets tagged out by ordinary noise, and a trailing stop of ~2× ADR below the highs gives a winner room to breathe.
