The bands are calculated based on a Kalman filter's ability to estimate the current state of a system (in this case, price) based on noisy measurements (past prices).
This indicator is particularly useful in ranging markets where it can help define support and resistance levels, and in trending markets to gauge trend continuation or potential reversals.
