Directional Movement and ADX measures how strongly a market is trending, and which side is doing the work. This page reports what it actually read on Crude Oil 15-minute charts — not what it is supposed to do, but the distribution of 4,983 recorded values over the last 90 days.
| Series | Median | Middle half | 5th / 95th | Full range |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ADX | 23.73 | 18.03 – 31.60 | 12.73 / 45.94 | 7.77 – 65.68 |
| DiPlus | 20.99 | 16.34 – 26.48 | 10.90 / 36.86 | 4.80 – 63.62 |
| DiMinus | 20.21 | 15.52 – 25.68 | 9.87 / 35.79 | 3.18 – 62.31 |
The median is the middle reading, so a single unusual session cannot drag it. The middle half is where Directional Movement and ADX sat on half of all bars — the range you should expect to see most of the time on this chart.
