Bollinger squeeze is a specific Trading coordinate in the Bitcoin knowledge graph. In practical terms, it identifies the subject described here: A period of unusually narrow bands that marks low realized volatility, without specifying breakout direction. This definition is narrower than promotional usage and should be read together with the implementation, date and evidence attached to the entry.
Bollinger squeeze is best understood as part of a system rather than as an isolated definition. Its related coordinates show the mechanisms, incentives and historical records that give the term practical meaning.
Bollinger squeeze describes how participants value, trade or obtain exposure to bitcoin. Market behavior can affect adoption and mining economics, but it does not rewrite consensus rules. Price evidence and protocol evidence answer different questions.
Understanding Bollinger squeeze helps distinguish a verifiable Bitcoin mechanism or historical record from slogans, products and market narratives.
Primary or authoritative records make these details checkable: a Bollinger squeeze describes unusually narrow band width relative to a chosen history, indicating lower recent dispersion; a trading rule still needs a percentile, breakout trigger, direction, stop and execution model. They should be verified before using the coordinate in analysis.
The practical limit is: volatility contraction does not specify breakout direction or timing; bands can stay narrow and false breaks are common; changing the comparison window changes which periods qualify. A definition, office, chart pattern or published claim is not by itself a prediction or Bitcoin consensus rule.
