The projection called for Directional Movement (ADX) to rise across the window, and it rose. The projection overshot: it called for 1.71 times the distance the market actually travelled. Bar to bar, 72% of the moves ran the same way as the projection, and 26 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 8 (7:04 PM ET), where they sat 3.84856 apart, and furthest at bar 22 (8:19 PM ET) with a gap of 6.99756. The largest single-bar change in the recorded values came at bar 26 (8:39 PM ET), a move of +0.873884. The projected path stayed on one side of the recorded values for the whole window.

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.
