Does ADX Agree on ES and MNQ? (30-minute Charts)
Educational reference. Measured from recorded market data through September 4, 2026. Not a forecast.
ADX measures how strongly a market is trending, regardless of direction. This page asks a narrower question than the price comparison: when ADX moves on E-mini S&P 500, does it move the same way on Micro E-mini Nasdaq-100?
| Bars where ADX moved on both | 1,516 |
|---|---|
| … and moved the same direction | 1,083 (71.4%) |
| Price correlation, same period | +0.903 |
ADX disagrees more than price does. Prices correlate at +0.903, which would suggest agreement near 86%. ADX manages 71.4%. The two markets move together while this reading does not — the gap is where a divergence setup would show up.
Why this is not the same as the price question
Two markets can move together while their momentum, trend strength or volatility do not. A reading that agrees far less than price suggests is exactly where one market is losing steam while the other keeps going — and a reading that agrees more is tracking something shared that direction alone does not capture.
