Explanation
Each signal represents an independent observation about volatility change: ATR Expansion measures whether the Average True Range is increasing. Expanding ATR indicates price moves are getting larger. Volatility Expansion Breakout detects when volatility measures break above recent norms. This confirms the expansion is structural, not noise. Volume Breakout confirms the volatility change is accompanied by elevated trading activity. Participation adds weight to the state change. When all three align, they describe a genuine volatility regime shift—the stock is becoming significantly more active.
Interpretation
This story identifies volatility state change, not direction. It does not predict whether the expansion is bullish or bearish, how long it will last, or its magnitude. Volatility expansion is a regime observation.
