How do I calculate the volatility bands?

You can use the `get_bollinger_bands` tool by providing an array of closing prices. You can also optionally specify the lookback period and the standard deviation multiplier.

What is a volatility squeeze?

A squeeze occurs when market volatility contracts significantly. The `detect_volatility_squeeze` tool identifies this by checking if the current bandwidth is at a 6-month low.

Can I get a summary of the current market state?

Yes, the `get_band_summary` tool provides a qualitative status, volatility state, and recommendation based on the calculated bands and squeeze status.
