−DI 14 (M1)Trend

Timeframe M1 · unit norm

What it measures

The Negative Directional Indicator measures how much of the recent price range is attributable to downward movement - normalized by the average true range.

How Janira reads it (bullish vs bearish)

Above 25: sellers are meaningfully driving price lower within each bar. Below 20: sellers are relatively passive. High −DI with high ADX = a confirmed downtrend.

In plain language

Where +DI measures buyers' work, −DI measures sellers' work. A big −DI means sellers have been consistently hammering new lows.

Scenarios

−DI above 30 and ADX rising: bears are in control and the trend is gathering pace - downward moves are systematic.
−DI falling while +DI rises: the weight of selling is lightening while buying pressure builds - a potential directional transition.
Both +DI and −DI near 20: balanced fight between buyers and sellers; ADX is likely low as well.
Very high −DI (> 40) with falling ADX: the down-trend that built this reading is now decelerating; the selling wave is maturing.
