- Upper Channel: Closing above this line signals the start or continuation of an uptrend, highlighting potential long entries.
- Lower Channel: Closing below suggests a bearish move and a possible short opportunity.
- Middle Band: Reflects median price levels and current volatility, serving as a dynamic reference.
