The Bollinger Bands 2-Candle Rejection indicator is designed to highlight potential trend reversals by identifying two-bar rejection patterns at the Bollinger Bands extremes. It combines standard Bollinger Bands with a candlestick pattern methodology to generate early signals for bullish and bearish reversals.

Logic & Functionality:

Uses a standard Bollinger Bands calculation with customizable length (bbLength) and standard deviation (bbStdDev).
Detects bearish rejection when a prior bullish candle is followed by a candle that closes below the Bollinger Bands upper boundary, indicating potential downward momentum.
Detects bullish rejection when a prior bearish candle is followed by a candle that closes above the Bollinger Bands lower boundary, signaling possible upward momentum.
Visual cues include arrows on the chart for buy/sell signals, colored clouds highlighting the reversal area, and optional text labels for quick reference.
Supports real-time alerts for both bullish and bearish rejection patterns, enabling traders to act promptly.

Visual Features:

Upper, middle, and lower Bollinger Bands plotted for reference.
Arrows indicating rejection signals: green for bullish and red for bearish.
Background cloud coloring for immediate visual confirmation of signals.
Optional chart labels for signal clarity.
