The theory behind Bollinger Bands is that, in a normal distribution data set, 68% of data should fall within one standard deviation and that roughly 95% should fall within two standard deviations. So 95% of the price should fall within the 2-width standard deviation, which is within the upper and lower band. |

In January 2004, GBP/USD reached its first top at 1.8580 and started pullback. The pullback was until 1.7820 which was the 38.2% retracement of the up-trend.

The price movement of any financial market is in wave format. Suppose a currency pair is on an up-trend, going from 1.0000 to 1.1000.
