The projection called for Directional Movement (ADX) to rise across the window, and it rose. The market travelled further than projected — the projection covered only 0.70 times the realised distance. Bar to bar, 86% of the moves ran the same way as the projection, and 29 of the 30 bars finished on the projected side of the opening reading. One window is a single observation, not a pattern; it is published here so the projection and the outcome can be checked against each other.
The two paths were closest at bar 21 (3:45 PM ET), where they sat 0.115741 apart, and furthest at bar 29 (4:30 PM ET) with a gap of 4.65977. The largest single-bar change in the recorded values came at bar 28 (4:25 PM ET), a move of +1.69935. The projected and recorded paths crossed at least once inside the window.
Six points sampled across the 30 bars, showing the projected value, the value that printed, and the difference between them.

ADX summarises how strongly a market is trending, without saying which way. Higher readings mean a more persistent move, in either direction. On the 5-minute timeframe a 30-bar projection covers 2.5 hours of trading, so the window above describes 2.5 hours of E-mini Nasdaq 100 activity rather than a single print.
