I have noticed that recently, within the past year or so, that the volatility of the forex futures has been very low, making my bollingers very narrow and difficult to trade with some of my methods. I noticed this for all of the forex futures, but in specific the pound futures 6B. I made an indicator of the average daily trading range over 30 days and compared them over the years. Currently the average daily trading range for 6B is around 80 or so tick per day for the past month or two and within 2012 has been hovering around 100. This seemed only to be similar to a much shorter period of time in mid 2007. It seemed that the average trading range was around 150 for the majority of time within the past 10 years other than the high volatility around 2008 crash and rarely dipping to or under 100. I am curious if anyone knows what the reason could be for this recent trend.
