  5. Understanding the Components of the Regression Channel:

    • The center line represents the best-fit line through the selected data points.
    • The upper and lower channel lines represent a specific number of standard deviations from the center line, acting as dynamic support and resistance levels.

    • Adjust the standard deviation values to refine the channel’s width, making it more sensitive or less sensitive to price movements.
  8. Analyzing with the Regression Channel:

    • Use the regression channel to identify the prevailing trend, potential reversal points, and support/resistance levels.
    • Price movements outside the channel may indicate overbought or oversold conditions, signaling a potential trend change.
