What the bollinger breakout up is
After a tight squeeze, price closed above the upper band.
Squeeze a spring tight and let go, and it jumps. Bollinger Bands are lines that hug the price, getting narrow when things are calm and wide when things get wild. After a tight squeeze, a close above the top band is like the spring jumping up.
