+DI 14 (M1)Trend

Timeframe M1 · unit norm

What it measures

The Positive Directional Indicator quantifies the share of recent price movement that is upward - normalized by the average true range. Higher = buyers are driving more of the daily range.

How Janira reads it (bullish vs bearish)

Values above 25 show buyers controlling meaningful upward movement. Values below 20 suggest buyers are inactive. Compare to −DI for directional context.

In plain language

+DI answers: 'how much of the recent price action is attributable to buyers pushing highs up?' A big +DI means buyers have been consistently moving price to new highs.

Scenarios

+DI above 30: buyers have been consistently driving price to new highs within the period - upward momentum is dominant.
+DI between 20-25: moderate upward activity, neither pronounced nor absent.
+DI below 15: buyers are barely moving the needle; the price action is driven by something else (sellers or chop).
+DI rising while −DI falls: a directional shift is underway - the balance of power is moving toward buyers.
