Hi - I need some help understanding Bollinger Band Alert "Status" as shown in "Alert Console"

Example: On "day 1"  I see a very narrow BB and set an alert based on that band. Since price is inside the "squeeze" on "day 1" the "status" in "Alert Counsel" is "Not Passing."  Say, 5 days latter (Day 5) I get a message and on checking the "Alert Consel" reports "Passing."

Question: Does this mean (1) that price is now outside the BB's as they were calculated at the time I set the Alert (Day 1) or (2) that price is outside the BB as they are now calculated on (Day 5)?

Thanks

It means that price is now outside the BB's as they are now calculated (on day 5).
