Same reading, previous session: CL 5m ADX, August 18, 2026
This is a record of where one indicator sat during one completed session. It is not a forecast, and it makes no claim that any reading preceded a move. Whether crossing 25 tends to be followed by a larger move is a separate question, measured separately.
Every 5m bar recorded for CL on Wednesday, August 19, 2026 — 219 bars from 00:00 to 23:05 ET — was classified by its ADX reading. A visit is an unbroken run of consecutive bars in the same band. The session was complete before this page was built.
