I am surprised the MACD convergence/divergence indicator is leading the Bollinger Band indicator for the indication of a bottom.

MACD usually uses 2 longer term moving averages while the Bollinger Bands, at least the way I use it, normally use shorter term averages like 20 or 30 day with 2 standard deviants as the outside envelopes.

Obviously both are range indicators with the extreme being reach when the short term average is abnormally far away from the long term moving average on the MACD and the price range is more than 2 standard deviations away from the moving average selected for the Bollinger Bands.

Any thoughts on why the MACD leads the Bollinger Band to indicatie a bottom. I would have expected it to be the other way around given the short term moving average used for the Bollinger Band.

What are you using for the MACD and Bollinger Band setting by the way?
