In $RH PetroGas (T13.SG)$'s chart above, it entered into an uptrend when the price moved above the BBI on Feb 2022 and a long (buy) position is triggered. There was a Bollinger Band Squeeze which indicated a period of greater volatility (BBs expand) and the price surged. The price moved above the upper band which indicated a strong uptrend. Then in Mar 2022, there was a bearish engulfing candlestick which was a reversal signal. A short (sell) position was triggered.
The stock then moved downwards to the middle band. It fell below the BBI. However, there was a bullish engulfing candlestick the next day and a buy position was triggered. The long and short positions can be determined this way. The upper and lower bands may act as resistance and support levels.

When the second top was formed, the MACD showed a lower top which indicated a bearish divergence. It confirmed the downtrend and the price fell below the support.
