ADX Momentum Indicator values above 30 indicate a very strong trending market, while ADX Momentum Indicator values below 20 indicate non-trending market or a ranging market.

Traders use the ADX indicator as a filter along with other indicators to create ADX Momentum Strategy.

Many traders interpret ADX momentum indicator zones turning up from below 20 as an early signal of a new emerging trend break out signal - while declining ADX indicator levels turning down from above 30 as a reversal of the current trend.
