Higher the ADX technical indicator value the stronger the trend.
ADX value of below 20 demonstrates that the price is not trending but moving in a range.
ADX value of above 20 confirms a buy or sell signal and indicates a new trend is emerging.
Values above 30 demonstrates a strong trend.
When ADX indicator turns downward from above 30, it signals that the ruling trend is losing momentum.
