The ADX is not a directional commodity technical indicator but a measure of the strength of the commodity trading price trend which has a scale of Zero to 100.
Higher the ADX technical indicator value the stronger the commodity trading price trend.
ADX value of below 20 indicates that the commodity trading price isn't trending but moving in a range.
ADX value of above 20 confirms a buy or sell signal & indicates a new commodity trading price trend is emerging.
Values above 30 indicates a strong commodity trading price trend.
When ADX turns down from above 30, it signals that the current commodity trading price trend is losing momentum.
Directional Movement Index Technical Indicator
Since the ADX alone is a directionless indicator it's combined with the DMI index to determine the direction of the commodity trading price trend.
