Use to find companies where this pattern is active.
Three observations have aligned in the up direction: the higher-lows-pattern observation is firing, the ADX observation (sustained directional-movement asymmetry) is in the upper portion of its mapped range, and the OBV-trending-up observation is firing.
State
Higher-lows pattern firing, ADX directional-movement asymmetry elevated, OBV trending up
Emergence
Three observations align in the up direction. The higher-lows-pattern observation (detects when successive swing lows are stepping higher) is firing. The ADX (now named 'Sustained Directional-Movement Asymmetry') is elevated. The OBV-change observation (now named 'On Balance Volume Trending Up') is firing. The three readings describe a present-state co-occurrence of a higher-lows price pattern with elevated directional-movement asymmetry and OBV trending up.
Limits
This interpretation records three present-state observations. It does not predict continuation, guarantee the next swing low will be higher, or claim the pattern will extend. Higher-lows patterns end when the structure breaks; the observation records the present configuration only.

Explanation
Each observation reads a different aspect of recent price-and-volume behavior: Higher Lows Pattern detects whether successive swing lows over the lookback are stepping higher. The observation records the historical step-up structure; it does not predict the next swing. Sustained Directional-Movement Asymmetry (ADX) measures how persistently directional movement has favored one side over the lookback window. A high score means the asymmetry has been sustained. The legacy 'ADX trend strength' framing has been dropped from the observation body. On Balance Volume Trending Up fires when the running OBV total is trending upward, where OBV adds volume on up-close weeks and subtracts on down-close weeks. A high score means OBV is rising over the lookback. When all three align, the configuration is a present-state co-occurrence on the up direction — a step-up price pattern with elevated directional-movement asymmetry and OBV trending up. Pattern-recognition observations describe what has happened, not what comes next.
Interpretation
This interpretation identifies a co-occurrence of three up-direction observations. It does not predict how far the pattern extends, guarantee the next low will be higher, or indicate timing. All step-up patterns eventually break.
Required Observations
Sustained Directional-Movement Asymmetry (ADX)
Movement in one direction has consistently outpaced the other over recent weeks, whichever direction that is.
Recent Pivot Lows Are Consecutively Higher
Each recent low has formed above the one before it.
On Balance Volume Trending Up
Volume has flowed in on rising weeks more than out on falling ones, across the last 60 weeks.
