DIVERGENCE IN ADX (A thread)
ADX gradually makes lower swing highs and swing lows.
It reaches a very low level
A breakout in chart takes place which makes the indicator to move up.
A strong move usually follows.

If it happens at lower side of market, it usually signals a major reversal.

If it happens at higher end of market, it generally culminates in the form of a major top.
