Same reading, previous session: NQ 1m ADX, August 26, 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 1m bar recorded for NQ on Thursday, August 27, 2026 — 1,380 bars from 00:00 to 23:59 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.
