Keltner channel – This indicator is different than that of Bollinger Bands®. Bollinger Bands uses standard deviation to the mean whereas Keltner channel is derived using Average True Range (ATR). Both of the indicators have different way of application.
In Keltner channel we can see that break above upper channel on 28th March which was the 1st break above the upper channel of Keltner. Post that prices showed strong trend higher.
KST momentum – Breakout on Keltner channel was also accompanied by KST momentum indicator. KST momentum indicator broke above the signal line thereby giving strong confirmation that momentum was picking on upside.
In entire up move prices have not moved below the lower Keltner channel and KST if now again moves back above the signal line it will indicate a positive reversal. This can be a pause before the resumption of uptrend but a classic signal can be expected when both these techniques again get synchronized.
In a nutshell, Keltner channel helps to understand if the size of candle is increasing which is suggesting a significant move and KST further provides confirmation of momentum. Price action above 22500 which is upper channel will result into another synchronous signal from these indicators.
