Why ADX > 35 Stocks Often Reappear as Top Gainers on BSE (Why Certain Stocks Become Top Gainers on BSE: Recent Trends Explained-Part 2)
In our previous post, we discussed the fundamental and news-driven reasons behind stocks becoming top gainers on the BSE. But technical indicators also play a major role. One of the most powerful among them is the Average Directional Index (ADX).
If you’ve been watching market data closely, you may have noticed a pattern:
📈 Stocks with ADX greater than 35 often keep showing up in the top gainers list.
So, why does this happen? Let’s dive in.
1. Quick Refresher: What is ADX?
-
ADX measures the strength of a trend (not its direction).
-
Values range from 0 to 100.
-
A reading above 25 usually signals a strong trend.
-
Above 35 indicates a very strong trend — buyers or sellers are firmly in control.
2. Why ADX > 35 Stocks Dominate Top Gainers
🔹 Momentum Attracts More Buyers
When ADX crosses 35, it signals clear momentum. Technical traders, algorithms, and even institutions jump in, fueling further price rises.
🔹 Confirmation for Breakouts
Many breakouts fail unless backed by strength. ADX > 35 validates that a breakout has conviction, leading to sustained rallies.
🔹 Recurring Appearances in Gainers’ List
Because the trend is strong, such stocks often post multiple sessions of gains instead of a one-day spike. This makes them “usual suspects” on the top gainer table.
🔹 FOMO Effect
Retail traders scanning daily gainers see the same stock climbing repeatedly. This creates a fear of missing out, which adds more buying pressure.
3. Real-World Examples
In recent months, several midcaps and sector leaders with ADX above 35 — such as defence, energy, and smallcap favourites — appeared repeatedly among the BSE gainers.
-
Defence stocks in particular saw ADX values in the 40–50 range, coinciding with steep multi-day rallies.
-
Oil & gas names also maintained ADX above 35 while posting consistent gains, backed by sectoral tailwinds.
4. How Traders Can Use This Insight
-
Screen for ADX > 35: Track which stocks are trending strongly — these are likelier to appear in daily gainers.
-
Combine with DI+ / DI- lines: This tells you whether the trend is bullish or bearish. For top gainers, look for DI+ > DI- with ADX > 35.
-
Check Volume: Rising ADX with strong volume gives even more reliability.
-
Avoid Chasing Late: If ADX is already very high (above 50), the move may be overextended.
Conclusion
Stocks with ADX greater than 35 don’t just rise — they keep rising. That’s why they often dominate the BSE top gainers list across multiple sessions. By combining ADX with fundamentals and newsflow, investors can better identify which rallies are likely to sustain and which may fade.
