Volatility Squeeze and Breakout Screening for Indian Stocks
Keltner squeeze, NR7 compression, BB historical squeeze — how to screen for low volatility before big moves in Indian stocks.
What is a Volatility Squeeze?
When Bollinger Bands contract inside the Keltner Channel, volatility is low—a squeeze. History shows that squeezes often precede big moves. NR7 (narrowest 7-day range) identifies similar compression. Screening for these setups helps you find Indian stocks before breakouts.
Our Keltner Squeeze (V1), NR7 Compression (V2), and BB Historical Squeeze (V3) screeners find pre-breakout candidates. Volatility Expansion (V4) finds stocks already breaking out of low volatility.
Trading the Squeeze
Combine squeeze screening with volume: Volume Dry-Up often precedes expansion. After a squeeze, wait for a clear breakout with volume confirmation, then use momentum screeners to ride the trend. See our guides on volume accumulation and momentum screening for the full workflow.
