oh hai!

yes! although it is not guaranteed (nothing in statistics really is) the further outside of a bowlinger band a price gets, the more likely it is to trend back.

what is important to remember about all this, is that the exact position of the price relative to the band DEPENDS ON THE TIME FRAME OF THE CHART.

A chart could show the price close to the lower bollinger band on a 15-minute scale, while the exact same chart be above the higher bollinger band on say, a 4-hour or 24-hour scale.

It's all relative!

As to whether the price will ultimately go up over time, leading to revenue on a static amount invested at present, nobody knows for certain! What I can say is that if people continue to join Steemit and create interesting content, the popularity (and therefore price) of steem will continue to rise (relative to inflation)
