You typed 'so e, what you are saying is that has an inverse relationship with price. price trending up, black line turned down. what happens if the line is flat (not up or down)??'
No, not at all.ADX moves up when price either moves up or down.

I added the info inside the parentheses.
(The letters ADXwere removed by spelling/typo checker.)
