The ADX is not a directional commodity technical indicator but a measure of the strength of the commodity price trend which has a scale of 0 to 100.

The higher the ADX technical indicator value the stronger the commodities trend.

ADX value of below 20 indicates that the commodity price is not trending but heading in a range.

ADX value of above 20 confirms a buy or sell signal and indicates a new commodity trend is emerging.

Values above 30 signifies a strong commodities trend.

When ADX turns down from above 30, it signals that the current commodity trend is losing momentum.

Directional Movement Index Indicator

Since the ADX alone is a directionless indicator it's combined with the DMI index to figure out the direction of the commodity price trend.
