How It Works

    • Bullish Momentum โ†’ MACD histogram is above zero
    • Bearish Momentum โ†’ MACD histogram is below zero

3๏ธโƒฃ Checking Trend Strength (ADX Indicator)

  • The ADX (14) measures trend strength:
    • Strong Trend โ†’ ADX is above 25
    • Weak Trend โ†’ ADX is below 25 (no signals)
