An ADX reading above 40 marks an exceptionally strong, well-established trend — far beyond the usual 25 threshold. This scan lists NSE stocks with ADX above 40, the most powerfully trending names on the exchange.
Trend traders favour these for momentum continuation and breakout follow-through, since a high ADX means the current move has real force behind it.
Very high ADX can also signal a trend nearing exhaustion, and it is directionless — always confirm which way the stock is actually moving.

It signals a very strong trend — much stronger than the standard 25 threshold. These are the most decisively trending stocks, though the direction must be confirmed separately.
Neither by itself. A high ADX means the trend — up or down — is strong. You must check price direction to know whether that strong trend is bullish or bearish.
