Why RSI + ADX Works for Trend Continuation

RSI measures momentum and overbought/oversold conditions, while ADX quantifies trend strength. When used together, they filter out weak or choppy moves. For NSE stocks, a stock with RSI above 55 and ADX above 25 indicates a strong uptrend with room to run. This combination reduces false breakouts and improves trade reliability.

ADX values below 20 suggest a range-bound market, while values above 25 confirm a directional trend. RSI above 70 signals overbought conditions, but when combined with ADX >25, it often indicates a strong trend that may continue. The sweet spot is RSI between 55 and 70 with ADX above 25, offering a balance between momentum and trend strength.

📌 Key Insight
The RSI ADX momentum screener works best when ADX is rising (above 25) and RSI is in the 55-70 range, confirming both trend strength and momentum without being overextended.

How to Use the RSI ADX Momentum Screener on QUANTSCASE

Set RSI Period and Threshold — Set RSI (14) with a minimum value of 55 to filter stocks with bullish momentum. Avoid stocks with RSI above 80 to prevent overbought entries.

Set ADX Period and Threshold — Set ADX (14) with a minimum value of 25 to ensure a strong trend. For extra confirmation, use ADX >30 for trending markets.

Add Volume Filter — Add a volume filter: average volume > 500,000 shares to ensure liquidity. This avoids illiquid stocks that may give false signals.

Apply Price Filter — Set price > ₹50 and 20-day average true range (ATR) > 2% to avoid low-priced or low-volatility stocks. Use the RSI Momentum Screener for pre-built filters.

Review Results and Enter — Scan the list, check for a pullback to the 20-day moving average, and enter on a bounce with RSI still above 55. Place stop-loss below the recent swing low.

💡 Pro Tip
For intraday trend continuation, use a 5-minute chart with RSI (14) >55 and ADX (14) >25. Combine with volume spike >1.5x average for higher probability trades.
