Expected price movement range
RSI (14)

Momentum: below 30 oversold, above 70 overbought
ADX (14)

Trend strength: above 25 indicates a stronger trend
How to read this: RSI measures momentum; 30–70 is generally neutral. ADX
measures trend strength, not direction; below 20 is weak and above 25 is stronger. Price above
both EMAs supports a bullish structure, while price below both supports a bearish structure.

Bearish trigger
